Thanks again! Worked perfectly, indeed simpler (less steps) and foolproof in case I unplug USB. I left Openelec because resume didnt work, it now works fine here. much much appreciated for taking the time to help a noob.

Some topseed remotes definitely work with or without lirc.

His issue is with the Chromebox, None of them work according to the wiki.

I also have a Topseed IR transceiver, ID 1784:0008 TopSeed Technology Corp. eHome Infrared Transceiver. I am having issues though, I can run ir-keymap -t, as well as evtest and they see the input, case in point KEY_C. However, neither xev or Kodi can see the button presses. I can get up/down/left/right, enter, back, Vol+/-, Mute, and play/pause/stop/FF/RR to show up, but nothing else. I have a Harmony H659, of which I have 7 different MCE remotes added, but they all have the same issue. I even tried added a MCE keyboard, no luck. I also have an HP remote, http://www.amazon.com/HP-Replacement-Center-Control-5069-8344/dp/B000PJ0FSS/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1430944406&sr=8-5&keywords=HP+remote. Same issue.

Any body have any idea?

Mine works on chromebox, details tonight.

RE: How to get a seamless remote experience - nickr - 2015-05-07

OK my mistake. Mine is:

Code:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0766:0204 Jess-Link Products Co., Ltd TopSpeed Cyberlink Remote Control

Note that the word topspeed is not the same as the manufacturer topseed.

Sorry for the noise.

Teeedubb,

I think I'm missing something i followed the steps and made the 99 disable file added the location for my MCE IR reciver and it still won't wake up. im running ubuntu. wake up with a wireless keyboard works but my receiver doesn't look like it has power in suspend. when the computer is on i check to make sure its enabled with the following
cat /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1.5/power/wakeup
and it shows enabled

Any ideas?

RE: How to get a seamless remote experience - kees667 - 2015-06-08

The post below fixed my Kodibuntu resume issue. This weekend I visited my brother who has an Intel NUC with an HP MCE remote receiver running latest openelec. He also can't power on or resume with remote so I thought I'd try this on openelec. When I open sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-disable-wakeup.rules, edit it and save I get: error writing sudo /etc/udev/rules.d/99-disable-wakeup.rules: no such file or directory. I know I can ust install kodibuntu but that is quite some work with all settings and addons. Does openelec work differently?

There is a better way to enable wakeup on a device - using udev. It will enable/disable wakeup even if you change the usb port the device is connect to (something the guide you used will not do).

/etc/udev/rules.d/99-disable-wakeup.rules

Code:
#disable devices #ipazz keyboard #SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0c45", ATTRS{idProduct}=="7000", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo disabled > /sys$env{DEVPATH}/../power/wakeup'" #logitect k400r SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="046d", ATTRS{idProduct}=="c52b", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo disabled > /sys$env{DEVPATH}/../power/wakeup'" #usb bt SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0cf3", ATTRS{idProduct}=="3005", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo disabled > /sys$env{DEVPATH}/../power/wakeup'" #xbox360 SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="045e", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0291", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo disabled > /sys$env{DEVPATH}/../power/wakeup'" #enable #cec adapter SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1d6b", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0003", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo enabled > /sys$env{DEVPATH}/../power/wakeup'" #harmony/phillips ir SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0471", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2093", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo enabled > /sys$env{DEVPATH}/../power/wakeup'"

You'll need to configure it for your system/devices, change the idvendor and idproduct string to match the output of lsusb, eg the output for my phillips ir receiver:

Code:
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0471:2093 Philips (or NXP)

The CCF File referred to on stormforge has been removed, which is a pain!
I have install 2x Kodi Pronto setups but the Cubox does not see them, does the Cubox need another remote settings file installed? it works fine with IPad!

thx

RE: How to get a seamless remote experience - ijourneaux - 2015-07-25

New to OpenEle and trying to get wake from sleep with an Rosewill ME remote. My OPenElec HTPC is based on an AMD APU motherboard by Biostar. I have enabled S3 sleep and resume from S3 with USB in the bios.
The OpenELec instation was flawless. Remote works for all Kodi functions as expected and it will put the HTPC to sleep but it will not resume from sleep using the remote.

I followed some of the threads and confirmed via putty that wakeup is enabled on the OpenElec HTPC.

When trying to resume, The IR receiver blinks indicating that it is powered. I observed that the first time you try and power up OpenElec from sleep, the fan jogs but the system doesn't start up.

I am not sure what to try next.

Thanks for any comments.

RE: How to get a seamless remote experience - orecus - 2015-08-04

Been banging my head for two days trying to get my Logitech Harmony Touch to work properly with Kodibuntu. I recently moved from a Windows7 based install on the same system after it crashed hard, so I switched to Kodibuntu instead. The remote worked perfectly with the same activity/config in windows but I'm having a hard time properly getting it to work now.

It kind-of works currently with ir-keytable (lirc have been removed, nothing worked when it was present in system). Though there are a few buttons on it that refuses to work, they do not show up with ir-keytable -t either. The buttons that does not work is the direction keys, and a few others but those are detected so I'm guessing thats more of a mapping issue with kodi atm.

So far I've tested with the following "devices" configured on the remote, some work better than others but the same issue with the direction keys is present, they never work.

Devices:
Microsoft Windows Media Center *
Microsoft MCE Keyboard **
Microsoft Windows Media Center SE **

* Worked earlier in Windows on the same hardware.
** Based on this link http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=220677
