Recently uUpgraded to LE9, from LE8 and my IR remote no longer works.
I have an IRTrans device that requires an "irserver" daemon which exposes a socket that is compatible with LIRC (it does not use lircd).
I had similar issues when I upgraded to LE8 (see here), but I eventually got it to work (see linked thread). I followed (my own) instructions from that thread, but this time it does not work.
Here is the (relevant) output of "ps":
726 root 0:00 {irserver} . irserver -logfile /var/log/irserver.log -pidfile /var/run/irserver.pid -daemon /dev/irtrans0
780 nobody 0:01 LCDd -f -c /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.lcdd/LCDd.conf -d irtrans
982 root 0:00 {kodi.sh} /bin/sh /usr/lib/kodi/kodi.sh --standalone -fs --lircdev /run/lirc/lircd.irtrans
986 root 3:37 /usr/lib/kodi/kodi.bin --standalone -fs --lircdev /run/lirc/lircd.irtrans
This is what I expected to see (including the arguments to kodi.bin which instruct it to listen to IRTrans).
The irserver log file is created as expected, and shows everything is ok.
/dev/irtrans0 (a symlink to the socket) is present as expected.
/run/lirc/lircd.irtrans is also present.
Still, KODI does not respond to any key press on my remote.
Can anyone help?
PS: I did verify my remote is working (battery not dead, ...) and I am sure the IR receiver is also working (tell-tale light blinks as I press buttons on my remote).
