Yes I actually run into the same issue and put it down as a footnote on the post

https://johnlian.net/posts/hdmi-cec/#fn:3

Where I talk about the craziness that happens when more than 3 playback devices are on in my system:

> ...if the one playback device (e.g. PS5) was on, changing input to another playback device (e.g. Xbox) was impossible, I'd get a quick black screen and the input snaps back to PS5. This is wild, but fortunately I only use one console at a time so it’s not a big deal.

I remember when I wad losing my mind diagnosing this, I ended up asking ChatGPT for help with deciphering the HDMI-CEC frames when this was happening. It told me about the 3 device limit being the culprit with the line "You’re not crazy, HDMI-CEC is."
