# Testing before autostart
To make sure it will work you should run the script
as a non root user.

First make the script executable (assuming your in the same directory as the file)

`chmod u+x es-cec-input.py`

then run it with

`./es-cec-input.py`

If you see no output then you can try your TV remote with the buttons
in the Button section above. If it works then proceed to the next section

If you see output it will exit and tell you the key which is unsupported and
a list of the supported keys.

Ensure all your keys are supported and try again until you get no output.
