Remote Issue

Hi,

I have updated to LibreElec and my remote does not work now. I have read through the forum posts about finding the remote.conf file in the system file but can't find it, or even a system folder? I have found a remote.xml and have put this into the configfiles folder but it hasn't worked.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Follow this instrucctions to get the remote.conf from your android system.

LibreELEC

If not works post your remote.conf

Also please post any details about your device (S805, S905) and the version of LibreElec installed

Thanks CGarces but I am still stuck.

My device is a Venz V3 box with S805 and the version of Librelec installed is 2016-10-13: 7.0.2.6.

The remote.xml file is below

Quote from trogggy

It's remote.conf you need in /storage/.config, not a remote.xml file.
Do you still have android on the box?

No it only has openelec I believe. I have tried to find remote.conf via samba and ssh and cannot find it anywhere.

Quote from trogggy

AFAIK - and I might be wrong - the only place you're going to find a remote.conf file on openelec is in the configfiles folder (ie storage/.config/remote.conf).
If it isn't there I think your best bet might be to search the internet / ask here / look/ask on freaktab. You need the original remote.conf from android, or one that someone has working on openelec / libreelec on the same box.
Worst case is re-install android to get it from there.
As I said though, might be wrong - maybe someone can confirm / rubbish that.

Do you still have openelec installed?

Yes i have openelec installed but the only remote file i can find is in userdata/keymaps, and its the .xml file not the .conf.

.configfiles does not contain any remote files at all?

Quote from trogggy

Just to clarify...

1. You have openelec installed, and are running libreelec from sd card?
2. Your remote works in openelec but not in libreelec?
3. When you run libreelec there's no remore.conf file in the configfiles share (/storage/.config/remote.conf).

If all 3 are a 'yes' then it should just be a case of pulling your sd card, booting openelec looking in the configfiles share for remote.conf and copying it to eg your pc, then running libreelec and pasting it in.

If all 3 aren't 'yes' then you need to clarify exactly what's on your box / what's on your sd card / what works / what doesn't.

All 3 are correct and that's exactly what I tried to do but there's no remote.conf file in configfiles folder with openelec running? The only remote file I can find with openelec running is in the Userdata\keymaps folder?
[hr]
If there isn't a remote.conf file in Openelec how is the remote working if that's whats required?

Quote from chewitt

Running "find / -name remote.conf" will find it in OE, if it exists. Any OE build for thoses boxes is likely to be a custom build with it embedded rather than something user-configured.

Many thanks for all your help. I finally found the remote.conf file in \root\etc. This is now working perfectly
