'Intellybox': Trying to work out what the chipset and hence remote config

Zefrem23 · February 2, 2020 at 4:38 PM

I've had this box for about a year, bought it on a one day deal and when it turned out to be pretty weak I threw it in a drawer and forgot about it. More recently my Sister needed a TV box so I thought I'd have a go at putting LibreElec on it so I managed to get that right. It seems to have an s905 chipset, but the remote totally doesn't work, she's been using a wireless mouse with it since I set it up for her but she hates using the mouse.

I've done some reading about remote.conf and the keymaps files and I've tried to do the manual creation of the conf file, but each time I try to get scancodes, the codes are different (??) so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Can anyone maybe help me identify this box and remote and (first prize) which device's remote.conf might work without any manual modification, please?

If you find a "geekbox" remote it visually looks similar .. but that's no guarantee of it using the same IR codes. IMHO the amount of time you spend searching for and trying various conf files will be greater than the effort of manually configuring one.

Thanks CHewitt! I went the manual config route, and managed to get a remote.conf configuration running that works. For anyone else running LE on this little "Intellybox" device, I've attached my remote.conf to hopefully make their lives a bit easier.
