I have a mceusb IR receiver that works on Windows, but not on my Ubuntu server/Kodi box.
I'm running Ubuntu 14.04, using kernel 3.13.0-85-generic, and Kodi 16.1
Neither irw nor ir-keytable return any values when I press any remote buttons. The little red light on my reciever lights up, so I know it's seeing the button presses.
From dmesg:
From lsusb:
From ir-keytable:
It appears that the receiver is being seen and recognized, but it's completely ignoring its input. By looking at my outputs above, is there anything I'm missing that would explain this? I would really like to get this to work, as presently I'm using a wireless keyboard to control Kodi, and that's rather awkward.
Let me know if you need output from anything else.
