LG extended CEC standards (aka Simplink) don't go well with the CEC software on Raspbian/Xbian... I am a long time user and consumer off LG TV's and from my experience every LG software revision brings some undocumented "bugs" on Simplink... For example i used to have a 2009 TV with Simplink on, with a Blu-ray player and the rPi connected and i was able to control XBMC (back then was 13.x version) with the tv remote... but then i upgraded to a 2011 "smart" tv and i had to disable Simplink because the TV was always switching to the rPi HDMI input (unless i disabled CEC on the Pi itself)... So with this TV (LV5500 series EU) i was no longer able to control Xbmc/Kodi but i was able to control the TV volume using the XBMC remote application for Android... Now i have a LB670 EU series with WebOS and at 1st Simplink was still unusable, but after some software updates by LG i can now control Kodi with the tv remote and my sound system volume with Kodi remote app. So basically you have to test it for yourself... its kinda of a lottery  .. and don't expect better results on Samsung, Philips and Panasonic :/
