Hardware and host integrations

Edge reports hardware features only when they are available on that Player. Missing CEC, DDC, microphone, or Presentation Network support should disable that feature without stopping normal playback.

The current M9 work moves Edge away from calling cec-ctl and ddcutil as subprocesses. Edge talks to the Linux CEC and I²C/DDC devices directly for supported power, input, brightness, volume, and mute controls.

The current stable Linux Player still uses the providers described in Display Control.

Edge keeps Presentation Network behind a small helper instead of giving the main Player service unrestricted network-control access.

Noise Meter needs a working audio input on the Linux host. Edge reads level information through the Linux audio stack and does not send microphone recordings to the server.

See Noise Meter for setup and privacy details.

Hardware permissions should come from the Edge install setup rather than running the whole Player as root.
