Hey guys,

Did an update today of my Kodibuntu (remote from my work).
After coming home I started the HTPC and wanted to watch a movie. There I noticed, that my remote is not working anymore.
I don't have an idea what exactly is the problem.

I updated the following packages:

Code:
Start-Date: 2015-03-31  13:49:59
Commandline: apt-get dist-upgrade
Install: linux-image-extra-3.13.0-48-generic:amd64 (3.13.0-48.80, automatic), linux-image-3.13.0-48-generic:amd64 (3.13.0-48.80, automatic), linux-headers-3.13.0-48:amd64 (3.13.0-48.80, automatic), linux-headers-3.13.0-48-generic:amd64 (3.13.0-48.80, automatic)

I already booted the old kernel, 3.13.0-46-generic, which makes no difference.
I'm able to control Kodi via Yatse without any problem.

Therefore I checked If the IR Receiver did receive the commands, which is actually the case:

Code:
root@kodi:~# irw /dev/lircd
ffff22040f800000 00 KEY_OK MCE
ffff22040f800000 00 KEY_OK MCE
ffff1f040f800000 00 KEY_DOWN MCE
ffff1f040f800000 00 KEY_DOWN MCE
ffff20040f800000 00 KEY_LEFT MCE
ffff21040f800000 00 KEY_RIGHT MCE
ffff20040f800000 00 KEY_LEFT MCE

Also I checked if my configs have changed, which are not. Here they are:

Lircd hardware.conf --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10714248/
lircd.conf --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10714251/
remote.xml --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10714262/

Could someone please help me?

Here's the kodi Debug log when Pressing Exit Key

And once again:

Code:
root@kodi:/etc/lirc# irw /dev/lircd
ffff23040f800000 00 KEY_EXIT MCE

Code:
root@kodi:/etc/lirc# grep 23040F800000 /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
    KEY_EXIT                 0x23040F800000      # back
    KEY_BACK                 0x23040F800000      # back

Could someone tell me what is the problem?

Right compiled lirc with libirman from sources. The same result. All my checks saying the IR Receiver is doing right, but I still can't control Kodi.
This Problem must be related in Kodi 14.2

Anyone can help? Hometheater without an remote sucks hard.

Did also to move back to 14.1, but obviously did not find the right package version (did already searched into my apt/history and term.log):

root@kodi:/var/log/apt# apt-get install kodi=2:14.1~git20150130.1238-final-0trusty
Reading package lists... Done

E: Version '2:14.1~git20150130.1238-final-0trusty' for 'kodi' was not found

Does the remote work if you exit Kodi and start Kodi again? Without restarting the mediacenter.

No.
Is this a bug?

Three things stand out to me.

1. IRW does not identify the name of your remote as the same one you have in lircd.conf.

If indeed you are using Lirc your remote should be identified by IRW with the name you gave it in lircd.conf

2. In addition, a good practice would have the name with no spaces.

3. Where is your Lircmap.xml? The name of your remote is specifically identified to kodi in that file.

Thanks for the tip.
Obviously really was a problem with the Lircmap.xml. Couldn't explain to myself why, because I didn't change anythink.
Did rename the Device in the lircd.conf to a name without space. Then added a Block with all necessarry commands in the Lircmap.xml with the new name.
Afterwards everythink works like a charm.

Thanks.
