I was having load of problems with my Asrock Ion not working with the remote, and tried all manner of things. Eventually, and embarrassingly, discovered that the vent on the front left was blocked with fluff and messing up the IR signal.
Anyway, having removed said fluff, I then suffered from the double key entries being discussed here. Pressing the arrow keys would move twice in menus for example. irw was reporting the correct response to keypresses, but Kodi was somehow getting confused.
The fix, no doubt related to all the messing around I'd been doing earlier was simple:
Code:
sudo /usr/bin/ir-keytable -c
If you're using LIRC, then you need to make sure the IR Keytable is cleared or it would appear there will be duplicate events floating around.
If you want to deliberately break it to see the effect, try:
Code:
sudo /usr/bin/ir-keytable --protocol=NEC,RC6 --write=/etc/rc_keymaps/rc6_mce
Unfortunately the above fix doesn't persist across reboots, so I need to figure out whats messing up the key table on boot. Any ideas?
