Hey guys,
I was running OpenElec and everything worked pretty nicely out of the box. But iv changed over to HTPCGuides img of a
Minibian. I did this because the img comes packaged with Kodi, Plex, Sickbeard, etc.. all the good stuff i needed but could
not seem to get for OpenElec. Most of it seems to work pretty much out of the box however my remote now wont SELECT or
go BACK. I can browse through the menu but i can't select anything.
The remote i have btw is http://www.acowin.com.hk/product535.html
Worth noting there is an "ENTER" key down the bottom which does work. But then i can't go back anyway.
I first tried downloading the keymap editor program in Kodi's repo. However it also ignores my key presses for those 2 buttons.
Checked the driver was loaded and correct: It's the same in my OpenELEC version so i would say so.
dmesg
I tried to see if any luck could come from installing Lirc.. That was probably a bad idea..The remote was 'mostly' working without Lirc
and Lirc confuses the heck out of me. For starters the install went fine but the results were the exact same.. Every botton seems to
work except the 2 most important ones.
.. actually does nothing for me. I enter this in cmd line and it freezes up for a moment and then just carry's on like
i never asked for a thing.
ir-keytable
Tried killing Lirc and ran:
It launches into a test mode.. And does not record any buttons i press on the remote.
Although Kodi is still responding to Left, Right, up, down etc
I am fairly certain i should be going backwards at this point. Lirc probably does not need to be there. I think i need to find the
ir-keytable kodi is responding to and see if i can get it working from there?
I hate dealing with remotes. I don't get it and everyone seems to have a different fix.. Anyone got some thoughts?
btw..
uname -r
