no, rpi itself does not support it, you need to install some software. For example if you use kodi it will automatically detect it and use it, so you will be able to use kodi with your tv remote (without any additional configuration). What do you want to control with your remote?

CEC does not work with dtoverlay dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d-pi4,cma=512, but it does work with dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d-pi4,cma=512.
I need to try and see how other features work on it.
One year ago I posted https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...6/#post6419247
In this post I described turning your television on and off using cec-ctl. For me cec-ctl -m still doesn't give output when pressing buttons on my remote control of my television.
pan@pi4:~ $ cec-ctl -l

but you need to see the device without kodi too
Code:
pan@pi4:~ $ ls -l /dev/cec*
crw-rw---- 1 root video 240, 0 Apr 5 17:59 /dev/cec0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 240, 1 Apr 5 17:59 /dev/cec1
it is detected automatically, I do not do anything. When I start kodi the smart tv will automatically connect to it.
and also you can use it with other software, like cec-client too (that was mentioned in your post too).
1. I mentioned seeing the devices, so that's fine.
2. you cannot find the word "cec-client" in this thread, only cec-ctl: cec-client has been deprecated. In this post I have given an example to switch the television on and off.
Libreelec works out of the box and Kodi with CEC on Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye and Bookworm too. My problem is on the Slackware arm platform.

Settings -> system -> input -> peripherals does not show a CEC adapter in my case. How did you build Kodi with CEC support on Slackware arm?
