Da Flex asked me to do the following:
"To get a link to a kodi.log:
activate debug logging at GUI (HUD will appear on top)
reboot
reproduce the error (disconnection of the remote)
login by SSH and run pastekodi (wait for the resulting link)"
This is as far as I have got, I am running Putty from a W10 machine, setup the connection, logged in and ran pastekodi
The result I get is:
no results to fetchLibreELEC:~ #
ADDENDUM, I decided to run it again, this time I got a URL:
http://ix.io/3lHk
About the setup:
This is a Pi4 4GB running a brand new clean install of LibreELEC RPi4.arm-9.2.6 on a brand new 64GB Class 10 card.
All I have done to LibreELEC is to change the various setting to be in the UK and use a UK keyboard, created a password for SSH and enabled the logging, rebooted and then connected the remote.
The remote connected first time and instantly began to disconnect and reconnect which happens every couple of seconds exactly as it did before.
The remote: This is a "replacement" remote for Amazon Fire TV sticks/box, model number CV98LM, a clone of the remote that came with the mk1 Fire TV Stick. I bought this remote after borrowing a friends "original" remote for their mk1 Fire TV Stick which did the same thing as I assumed that I could make it work properly, I can't, which is why I am here.
I can make it work, but then after turning of (or rebooting) the LibreELEC Pi4 I have to fix it again, with a keyboard and mouse, so essentially the issue here is not so much whether the remote works or not, which it does, but how to get it to work after a reboot of LibreELEC as the people who will be using this are not tech savvy at all and are not going to use anything except the remote.
Thanks
