Unfortunately it's still not working.  But its not a myth problem its a 
libcec problem.  Basically the library can't find the /dev/tty that the 
adapter is plugged into.  So since it can't find it it can't give it to 
mythfrontend.  I don't see any method or config file option to specify 
so that the library can find the /dev/tty without the detection code.

The error is:
libCEC has not been compiled with detection code for the Pulse-Eight 
USB-CEC Adapter, so the path to the COM port has to be provided to 
libCEC if this adapter is being used

Here is where I got libcec from ;)
libcec.x86_64        2.1.3-2.el7   @scrpms
libcec-devel.x86_64  2.1.3-2.el7   scrpms

If I can find the time maybe I will take a crack at trying to compile 
libcec with detection code.  I'd probably be playing a bit of catch-up 
considering you have already packaged it, so have a build script.
