Hello guys
At first I wanted to apologise if I posted it in wrong category or maybe even wrong forum, but I'm getting more and more frustrated because of my issue.

Backstory:
I bought my first Rpi like year ago cause I wanted to „smartify” my old 2005 TV. To do so I bought DVB-T adapter like this one: NotOnly Deluxe
The reason I took exacly this one is because it has IR Receiver built in and it comes with quite decent remote.
In addition I saw tutorial how to set it up (both DVB-T and remote) to work on Linux Mint and I thought to myself that it should be pretty similar setting it up on Kodi with LibreElec.
After succesful setup of DVB-T came time to set up the remote, cause what whould be a TV without remote, right?

Attempt 1:
As I said I tried to mimic steps from this tutorial
Basically the guy uses only „ir-keytables” and downloads keymap from online.
I used:

Code:

ir-keytable -s rc0 -t

to test if the reciever picks up anything but it didn’t work at all. I tried all protocols one by one and none of them has worked. I thought that maybe my reciver is broken, so I tried it on Ubuntu. Guess what? Receiver picked up signal like it should.

Attempt 2:
I came across this tutorial on youtube in which guys shows how to set up remote using LIRC.
I talk about this one:

I used the default remote that came with the DVB-T adapter.
It went pretty ok, but after mapping all the keyes I opened the file I’ve created and I saw that all keycodes where set as 0x0. So I tried to manually change those codes. I went back to the first tutorial, found exact file he used and tried to write same codes in.
Even that didn’t help.
After that I tried another remote that I have but I couldn’t get past mapping cause I ran out of attempts.

On the left is the default remote and on the right is the remote that I used after


I saw tutorial from official Kodi-Wiki but it used the same „irrecord” procedure so it doesn’t work neither.

To be honest I don’t know what I could try more so I ask you guys for help.
The first one that will help me with setup will get beer as soon as he'll come to my city

PS: After using

Code:

ps aux

I found that my lirc commands looks a little bit different than those from the youtube tutorial. Is it because of different version of Kodi or maybe because he uses XBMC and I use LibreElec?

Make sure eventlircd and kodi are stopped when testing with ir-keytable - otherwise these programs will grab the input and ir-keytable doesn't output anything.

See the official LibreELEC wiki page for details https://wiki.libreelec.tv/infrared_remotes

so long,

Hias

Hias, you sir, you just got yourself a beer Send me message when you'll be in Cracow

One more question: Is it possible to map buttons to do some state changing? I mean something like this:
>if you are on screen1 change it to screen2 and if you are on screen2 change it to screen1

If you have the remote working you can nearly define everything using python in built functions, skin info-labels, probably boolean conditions and keymapping.

You could trigger a python script which does the case handling either using if/else/elif statements or maybe with a try ... except section.

Not sure how familiar you are with python

Well I tried Python a while ago and I don't know much about it. But I'm into C/C++ so I guess it shouldn't be hard to learn it, right?

You can do a lot only with remote.xml setup. For example I mapped the "star" button on my remote to toggle between teletext on/off. In video mode it's mapped to "activate teletext" and in teletext mode it's mapped to "back" (close teletext).

Code:

<keymap>
  <FullscreenVideo>
    <remote>
      <star>ActivateWindow(Teletext)</star>
    </remote>
  </FullscreenVideo>
  <Teletext>
    <remote>
      <star>Back</star>
    </remote>
  </Teletext>
</keymap>

Maybe a similar approach can do what you are looking for.

so long,

Hias
