Need advice setting up IR remote on Pi-Zero with LibreElec

  • I'm really really hoping someone can help me on this as I feel totally at sea.

    I've spent the last couple of days trying and failing to get any of the online guides to work for. I'm guessing they are intended for an older version of LibreElec

    I have an IR receiver setup on GPIO pin 17, I've inserted what i understand is the necessary command to let the Pi know it should listen to input from that pin, with the following command in config.txt

    Code
    dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=17


    The guide then instructs me to enter the command

    Code
    ir-keytable -p rc-5 -t

    So that I can record the remotes inputs. However this is where it all goes wrong as I get the following error.

    /sys/class/rc/: No such file or directory

    No devices found

    I'm hoping someone might be able to give me a hand, as i'm really stuck
