Kodi: issues with lirc and ir remote

[motorxx]

Hello

I am totally pissed with this issue. I have searched in the web and although have read lots of entries, I am still not able to solve it.

My remote is a Hama mce.
When I run "irw" I get strange commands as output:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
12345679885
^@^E^[[5
')

It seems that the ir remote is recognized as keyboard.

Doing ls /dev/input/by-id/

usb-05a4_9881-event-kbd
usb-05a4_9881-if01-mouse
usb-05a4_9881-if01-event-mouse

I have edited /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
REMOTE_DRIVER="devinput"
REMOTE_DEVICE="usb-05a4_9881-event-kbd"
')

and also $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'modprobe mceusb')

But I always get the same outputs in irw after reboot

I have used before this remote with Openelec and irw was giving me correct keystrokes ouput.

Any idea how to solve this? I am lost. Thanks

Hello,

I am trying with ir-keytables. but I have no success. I get the following message:

/sys/class/rc/: No such file or directory

If I load mceusb to the kernel, I get the following message:

Couldn't find any node at /sys/class/rc/rc*.

Anyone knows how to solve this issue?

Thanks.

Thanks for the reference.
I have done some progress. I am able to read the ir remote with lirc, but not all the buttons.
I will investigate with what you have pointed.

If you blacklisted those modules, and if hitting buttons on the remote no longer show up in a shell, you need only setup your specific remote's config file and define actions to the specific programs you want to use. See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LIRC

Uninstalled lircd.

I found out that kodi supports directly the use of the remote better than using lirc (as far as I have been able to configure). I have used the addon keymap editor to map some missing buttons.

I had troubble with lircd in order irw to read all the key presses. Some where comming under /dev/input/event0 (keyboard) and some others under /dev/input event1. A key press was also showing different keys simultaniously in irw (with different codes in *.lircd.conf)

Thanks for helping.

Hi All,

I have one of those mac silver remotes which works great on my x86 machines on Arch, but not ARM.

I should be seeing the device:$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', ' ')/dev/input/by-id/usb-Apple_Computer__Inc._IR_Receiver-event-ir

I have found I have a $this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '/')dev/usb/hiddev0
