Hi Guys,
I'm trying to setup lirc on a CoreElec 8.90.1 as I need a button on the remote to restart Kodi that runs outside of Kodi (because its +10 to WAF in my household), but while I have the ir-keytables portion working well, I am struggling with the lirc half. The remote I am using is a logitech harmony setup as a MCE remote with the inbuilt ir receiver in the Beelink GT1 Ultimate s912 box. It seems that while lircd is running, irw is not able to connect to the socket (error below)
Some points:
*I previously had ir-keytable + lirc working on a ubuntu setup so I have been reusing configs where possible. Its been a few years since I set it up on ubuntu, so I may be missing something in CoreElec, but I followed the wiki once I started having troubles
*I am launching ir-keytable via a custom udev rule and not using /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg as I need to set button delays (I've since discovered that there is a separate rule for key delays, so I can go back to using rc_maps.cfg if it helps).
*I have tried running the commands listed in post 6 of this thread with some modifications (using lircd instead of lircd-lirc0) to no avail.
*eventlircd has been removed and I'm not sure if something else needs to be done because of this.
*irw error:
