IR-Keytable, button on ir only reponds the second time pressed

DvZ_73 · February 3, 2019 at 2:26 PM

I did a new clean installation of LE 9.0 , version before was 8.24

as I had my remote not working after installation I followed the Infrared Remotes [LibreELEC.wiki] page,

to get my Harmon touch working again with the z-box nano id64

I just created a key file in rc_keymaps, that looks as follow for now: # table my_custom_remote, type: rc-6
0x8034845c KEY_OK
0x80348459 KEY_DOWN
0x8034045a KEY_LEFT
0x8034845b KEY_RIGHT
0x80340458 KEY_UP
0x8034043a KEY_DELETE When i use these keys on the remote I have to press every key twice to get a response in LE e.g. down does nothing but press down again then it works, next time I use down again 2nd time pressed is working this if for all 6 keys I configured. is there a simple solution to get it back to working right on the first button press ? Thx for your time and assistance D

Just configure the Harmony to use the Microsoft Media Center (MCE) profile, this will work out of the box.

If you want to / need to keep the Zotac profile see this thread IR Remote malfunction after upgrade to LE 9.0

The IR receiver doesn't support Microsoft media ceter ( mce) if I set that up in Logitech it doesn't do anything

I need to keep the zotac option, I updated to #0203 as suggested, but still the same issue

pressing the key's twice to get one command. done, browsing with up and down is terrible to do so

I don't want to go back to LE 8.24 version where it works out of the box with lirc

output ir-keytable as is now

to bad the fix, is not working for my issue

some more information the cir is as follow:

Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event6) with:

Driver: nuvoton-cir, table: rc-rc6-mce
lirc device: /dev/lirc0
Supported protocols: other lirc rc-5 rc-5-sz jvc sony nec sanyo mce_kbd rc-6 sharp xmp
Enabled protocols: lirc rc-6

can it be a driver issue ?

This is rather unlikely - the nuvoton-cir used in your box even uses the MCE protocol as default in Linux).

Make sure you remove any configuration files you created (rc_maps.cfg, lircd.conf etc) or do a fresh LibreELEC installation and the MCE protocol will work out of the box.

Did you enable one of the optional DVB drivers (Crazycat or "latest kernel")? These drivers interfere with the in-kernel IR drivers and need separate fixing. Please test with the standard DVB drivers selected, only these contain the Zotac IR fix.
