MCE remote not working after upgrade from LibreELEC 8 to 9.0.2

    Hi,

    ever since the upgrade from LibreELEC 8 to 9.0.2 my mce remote isn‘t working anymore.

    I already tried wrapping my head around the wiki page (Infrared Remotes [LibreELEC.wiki]) but have no clue what to do to make the remote work again

    And I think LE is already detecting the remote correctly, even after the upgrate. It is just not working.

    This is from before (LibreELEC 8)

    Code
    ir-keytable
Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event0) with:Driver mceusb, table rc-rc6-mceSupported protocols: lirc rc-5 rc-5-sz jvc sony nec sanyo mce_kbd rc-6 sharp xmpEnabled protocols: lirc nec rc-6Name: Media Center Ed. eHome Infraredbus: 3, vendor/product: 0471:0815, version: 0x0000Repeat delay = 500 ms, repeat period = 125 ms

    And this is from after the upgrade (LE 9)

    Code
    ir-keytable
Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event0) with:Name: Media Center Ed. eHome Infrared Remote Transceiver (0471:0815)Driver: mceusb, table: rc-rc6-mcelirc device: /dev/lirc0Supported protocols: lirc rc-5 rc-5-sz jvc sony nec sanyo mce_kbd rc-6 sharp xmp imon rc-mmEnabled protocols: lirc nec rc-6bus: 3, vendor/product: 0471:0815, version: 0x0000Repeat delay = 500 ms, repeat period = 125 ms

    looks pretty much the same to me :/

    does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

    cheers

    Make sure you haven't disabled eventlircd or have any other old configurations hanging around. If in doubt post the output of

    Code
    ls -la .config .config/udev.rules.d .config/system.d .config/rc_keymaps

    Also check with irw, ir-keytable -t and ir-ctl -r as described in the wiki.

    Edit: and please grab the latest log ZIP from the Logfiles samba share and attach it here.

    so long,

    Hias

    Hi Hias,

    thanks for your help :)

    I've created two pastes on paste.ee with the output you asked for

    1) LibreELEC 8.2.5

    Paste.ee

    2) LibreELEC 9.0.2

    Paste.ee

    I've also downloaded a fresh img file of 9.0.2 and put it on the SD to make sure that the issue isn't caused by a failed upgrade but the remote also does not work on a fresh setup of 9.0.2


    cheers

    From the IR scancodes it looks like you are using a Zotac remote.

    In LE 9.0 we reduced the numbers of remotes supported out-of-the-box (to avoid conflicts), but you can easily enable support for the Zotac remote by creating a /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg file with the following content

    Code
    * * zotac

    so long,

    Hi Hias,

    sorry, my bad !! :huh:

    A few years ago I tried out a Zotac nano box for LibreELEC and I guess at that time I must have configured my harmony to act like a zotac remote instead of a mce remote.

    I totally forgot about it as it has been working with my mce usb receiver since *facepalm*

    This whole remote thing is pretty confusing. I remember that my original mce remote worked with the zotac box except for the on/off key. One might think that there is no big difference between zotac and mce. But obviously there is.

    Anyways, thank you very much for your help !!!!

    I switched my harmony to act like a mce remote again and now everything works fine :)

    thanks again!

    Michael
