DVB-T stick built-in IR receiver - how to get working

  • Hi,
    i have Evolveo Venus DVB-T USB stick. DVB-T tuner and playing TV works great (using Tvheadend). But i don't know how to get working built-in IR receiver, because i want to control Kodi via this IR remote control. Can you help me please how to test if ir receiver is working and how to setup it? I've searched for how-to videos and instructions but i cant manage it. When i type "irw" command nothing show when i push some button on remote control.

    Here is part of dmesg output:

    I see this lines:

    Code
    [    8.557254] Registered IR keymap rc-it913x-v1
    [    8.557516] input: ITE 9135(9006) Generic as /devices/platform/soc/3f980000.usb/usb1/1-1/1-1.3/rc/rc0/input1
    [    8.557635] rc0: ITE 9135(9006) Generic as /devices/platform/soc/3f980000.usb/usb1/1-1/1-1.3/rc/rc0


    so i think the IR receiver should be working. But irw writes nothing.

    Please help what should i do, thanks

  • After creating lircd.conf file it just worked after reboot. And I'm using RTL2838 DVB-T stick. It doesn't work perfect yet but it is a start.

    Code
    wget -O /storage/.config/lircd.conf http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/mceusb/lircd.conf.mceusb
  • I think you can't run irw when other programs are already using the device.
    I stopped kodi and eventlircd and tested key presses with ir-keytable program:

    Code
    systemctl stop kodi
    systemctl stop eventlircd
    ir-keytable
  • kodi stoped, eventlircd stoped, ir-keytable output:

    Code
    Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event1) with:
            Driver dvb_usb_af9035, table rc-it913x-v1
            Supported protocols:
            Enabled protocols:
            Name: ITE 9135(9006) Generic
            bus: 3, vendor/product: 048d:9006, version: 0x0200
            Repeat delay = 1000 ms, repeat period = 125 ms


    and its all, how can i test remote control key presses?
