Harmony 900 and unused keys

TheChief · April 6, 2018 at 9:40 PM

I have an Alfawise H96 Pro+ and currently i'm using the original RC most of the time. I also have a Harmony 900 and learned the keys from original RC. Now i'm thinking, if it is possible to use all keys of the Harmony, for example Forward, Rewind, Play, Stop, Record (for PVR), Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, ....

The Original RC uses the NEC protocol? So can i choose a device in the Harmony config, that supports NEC and more keys? Any ideas? Which device could i use?

Thanks

Not sure what version you are using, but builds pre 8.9.40? used the remote config way

I followed this Guide - using a Harmony with amlogic devices

You can have a "second remote" if you still want to use the original remote

new builds use a different way

Just for my information and maybe someone can use this too. I use LE9 (8.90.6 or later dev package).

I used the Mut@nt HD2400 profile in the Harmony Software, to get some more keys instead of using pivos xios ds.

See the attached screenshot, how i configured the keys in the Harmony Software. Since Play and Pause had the same keycode (0x1f0f), i changed Pause to F3.

I created a rc_keymap for LE9:

Code

LibreELEC:~ # cat /storage/.config/rc_keymaps/mutant_hd2400 
# table mutant_hd2400, type: NEC
0x1f25  KEY_MENU
0x1f1e  KEY_INFO
0x1f22  KEY_EXIT
0x1f24  KEY_GUIDE
0x1f31  KEY_RED
0x1f32  KEY_GREEN
0x1f33  KEY_YELLOW
0x1f34  KEY_BLUE
0x1f1d  KEY_UP
0x1f23  KEY_DOWN
0x1f1f  KEY_LEFT
0x1f21  KEY_RIGHT
0x1f20  KEY_OK
0x1f20  KEY_ENTER

0x1f18  KEY_AUDIO    # E key on Harmony 900
0x1f2e  KEY_PAGEUP    # up key on Harmony 900 between Menu and Info
0x1f2f  KEY_PAGEDOWN    # down key on Harmony 900 between Exit and Guide

My file also contains the keycode of the original RC including power.

Loaded via rc_maps.cfg:

Code

LibreELEC:~ # cat /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg
# Keymaps table
#
# This table creates an association between a keycode file and a kernel
# driver. It can be used to automatically override a keycode definition.
#
#
# Format:
#       driver - name of the driver provided via uevent - use * for any driver
#       table -  RC keymap table, provided via uevent - use * for any table
#       file - file name. If directory is not specified, it is first looked up
#               in /storage/.config/rc_keymaps, then /usr/lib/udev/rc_keymaps
#
# For example:
#
# driver        table           file
#
# gpio-rc-recv  rc-streamzap    streamzap
# gpio-rc-recv  *               justboom
# *             rc-rc6-mce      rc6_mce_new
# *             *               hauppauge_new
meson-ir        *     /storage/.config/rc_keymaps/mutant_hd2400

One more question: Are there key shortcuts to open video/audio settings, when playing a movie or livetv? I would replace KEY_VIDEO and KEY_AUDIO by this.
