Remote Hardware Not Found - LE 8.90.4 Alpha (Leia)

  • Help :)

    I have a mecool M8s pro+ (s905x), which has been flashed with Magendanz firmware (specifically "update_M8S_PRO+-V0928_TVStock-20171216_OTA.zip").

    The firmware update was successful.

    The remote works fine in Android => both the remote transmitter and receiver are working

    The remote was working with previous versions of the Leia Alpha builds (using meson)

    I'm using the LE DTB -> gxl_p212_2g.dtb generated on 14-Feb-18. The box seems to boot and behave fine in all respects except the IR Remote

    Now I'm trying to set the remote up using ir-keytable, but the utility cannot find a useable remote receiver

    Code
    # systemctl stop kodi 
    # systemctl stop eventlircd
    # ir-keytable
    No devices found
    #

    I did find what appears to be a remote device in dmesg ("")

    so tried using that by setting a keytable directly eg.

    Code
    ir-keytable --clear --device=/dev/input/event0 --protocol=nec --write /usr/lib/udev/rc_keymaps/libreelec_multi_amlogic

    But this just results in a stalled process and a machine that can only be rebooted by removing the power ie. unplugging

    Any advice will be gratefully received :cool:

    PS I attempted to generate & paste a log file from within LE without success ... the process kept failing, so I've manually compressed dmesg and kodi.log together and attached themlog-2018-02-18-13.25.00.zip

  • aha ... an hour or so later there's a new release ..

    LibreELEC-S905.arm-9.0-devel-20180218031232-r28165-gb635550.tar

    I've installed the new release ... and now the remote works out of the box ie. no other changes

    now I see

    Code
    # ir-keytable
    Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event4) with:
            Driver: meson-ir, table: rc-empty

            Supported protocols: lirc rc-5 jvc sony nec sanyo mce_kbd rc-6 
            Enabled protocols: nec rc-6

  • Hi,

    I have the same issue. The issue doesn't resolve by applying the same .img.

    I also include the correct dtb in the .update but no difference :(

    # ir-keytable

    No devices found
