sunxi-ir?

LE has never released images for Allwinner devices (not yet) so whatever code you are running on, it did not originate from us, and we have no idea what it contains, what version of LE it claims to be, or how accurately the unknown author of that image has followed the changes we have made over the last 6-9 months on IR things

i modified LE source code(Dec 2017) and compile it by my self, it work well. i don't modified any part of Iirc source code/scripts/config file.

The sunxi-ir driver doesn't support the raw "lirc" protocol - it's missing in the list of "Supported protocols". This means you can't use lircd, you have to use ir-keytable.

I suggest you switch to a current LibreELEC version and then follow the guiide in the wiki: infrared_remotes [LibreELEC]

Hi there,

i have also problems with lirc. For several version, (last was LE 8.02 with Kodi Krypton 17.3) i have only added "dtoverlay=lirc-rpi" to config.txt and it works "out of the box"on my Raspberry PI3. Now i have installed LE 8.22 and remote doesnt anything...

Any ideas?

Thx,

JumpY

Use dtoverlay=gpio-ir instead of dtoverlay=lirc-rpi. Also read the wiki page for details about this.
