Wake up from suspend with apple ir remote broken in 8.2.0

    I did some more digging but I'm still not sure who's to blame for the wakeup issues. Could be kernel 4.11, could be atvclient - no idea.

    I think the best solution is to build the hid-appleir driver as a module. Other major linux distributions do this as well, people can still use the remote without atvclient and it's also easy to disable the driver via a simple modprobe blacklist entry.

    Could you please do a test with this build: LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2-devel-20171108132958-r26201-g0285ca7ff1.tar

    This build includes the appleir driver as a module, to disable it create a file /storage/.config/modprobe.d/disable-appleir.conf with the following content:

    Code
    blacklist hid_appleir

    I've also enabled wake-from-suspend per default on the appleir USB device so you should no longer need the "echo enabled > /sys/bus/usb/devices/2-1.8.2/power/wakeup" line in autostart.sh.

    Could you create the modprobe file and remove the wakeup link from your autostart.sh and test if that setup works?

    so long,

    Hi Hias,

    I did all the things you asked for and it works perfect, including the wakeup using the apple ir remote.

    Will this become the solution for the official build?

    Thanks,

    I (still) have the same issue.

    Although i don't ha a mac mini, but a nuc with an original apple IR reveiver build in (spare part from an mac).

    I still experience the same issue on LE 8.2.3.

    Wake from suspend was working fine in 8.0.2, but after upgrading to 8.2 or higher, it stopped working.

    Anyting i can try to get this to work again ?

    Sorry, misunderstanding on my part.

    I was under the impression that it was fixed in the latest version, thinking that i should not have to do anything....

    But indeed after creating the modprobe file to blacklist the hid_appleir module, it works like a charm again!
