update to LibreElec 9.1.002 on Raspberry Pi 2 with IR on GIPO

  • Hello

    i use LE a long time at several RPi Models and now i have a problem to get my remote working in LE 9.1.002

    My config:

    RPi 2 with working GPIO IR Receiver on pin 18 an Windows MCE Remote

    -> LE 8.2.5 works perfekt (Old SD)

    when update to LE 9.1.002 (New SD with Clone form old SD)

    -> i made changes to the config.txt "dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=18" => Remote NOT WORK

    -> create an empty file "/storage/.config/lircd.conf" => Remote NOT WORK

    -> connect an external USB MCE IR Receiver from another RPi => Remote WORK

    -> Boot from Old SD without external MCE IR Receiver => Remote WORK

    Boot back to new SD with LE 9.1.002 => Remote NOT WORK

    ... I had an ambilight also run on my RPi over GIPO which works in both LE Versions, in general GIPO works .

    But where is my fault :/:/

  • you only need dtoverlay=gpio-ir in config.txt - that's enough to get an IR receiver connected to GPIO 18 working with an MCE remote.

    Make sure you have no stale config files (eg lircd.conf) or scripts hanging around from your old installation - if in doubt remove them.

    so long,
