Use a working SSH client instead, I hope Putty could be usable: PuTTY SSH client for Mac OSX - download and tutorial
I would not try to modify the LE filesystem this way. If there're hidden folders, there's perhaps a reason why... And there's no issue to access them.
0. cd /
1. mount -o remount,rw /flash
2. in /flash/config.txt => dtoverlay=gpio-ir
Add the gpio_pin parameter if you used a custom GPIO (default is 18). eg:
dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=5
Instead of changing /etc/rc_maps.cfg you have to store your custom configuration in /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg.
use /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg.sample
Custom keytables need to be stored in /storage/.config/rc_keymaps
cp my_custom_remote /storage/.config/rc_keymaps
ghtester I used Terminal (like putty but built in to osx) to SSH in no problem
nsst I already set the overlay and the Pi detects key presses just fine. I just need to make the nec protocol the default but can't reveal the hidden files. I already see non-writable files without remounting but tried anyway, no difference.
Here is my file structure without hidden files:
Why does the config directory exist? It seems identical to the one that is supposed to be hidden?
Thanks!
Read carefully here: Infra-Red Remotes - LibreELEC.wiki
Use override directories to put updated files there as described in wiki. Do not try to modify the read only filesystem.
I believe this thread should be marked as Resolved as you are asking off-topic quiestions here which you should perhaps ask in your another - original thread... But hopefully you can finish what you need if you follow instructions already published here: RE: LibreELEC 9.2.6 Raspberry 4 and IrDA Dongle Do not disable anything, do not use -c parameter, just make the config files properly ( use some of example / default mapping files from the /usr/lib/udev/rc_keymaps folder as template, which is most similar to your remote control - the first line is important ), put them to override folders and use commands mentioned in the linked thread and that's all...
Maybe a small tip - search the default mapping files for a protocol that you are looking for, for example:
grep -rn '/usr/lib/udev/rc_keymaps/' -e 'rc6'
It will list the files that might be interesting for you.
Your mecool file uses DOS line endings, that won't work, you have to save it with unix line endings. Also KEY_APP and KEY_DTV aren't valid keys.
In your rc_maps.cfg you use a wrong driver name, you have to use "gpio_ir_recv", not "gpio-rc-recv" - see the output of ir-keytable.
so long,

Agree on marking resolved, I should have started another thread.
One of the most frustrating things abut the whole process is that the guides that people constantly point to are incomplete, outdated, or written for programmers. It's been a very frustrating experience.
Thank you VERY MUCH for your help, everything works now!

Thank you very much for taking the time to look through my file. I was struggling with the gpio-rc-recv vs gpio_ir_recv. I clearly saw the latter driver name while testing but the sample file was configured differently so I followed that, as I was being constantly told to follow that.
I had no idea about the line endings and used Atom to convert them and BAM it worked. On a side note, I tried using the a few included files, notably minix-neo, and it had the same issue.
Thank you very much for your help, I will create a guide from all the help I received on this forum.

Good idea! You can upload that guide to our Wiki, or post it here, and someone else (me) can upload it.
