IR Remote with ver 9.2.8

    I have recently installed ver 9.2.8 on a Raspi 4 having successfully run an earlier version with an IR remote.

    I can't get the IR remote to setup correctly on this version and being a noob I have struggled with even the basics to understand what is going on. I am using an RC6 remote and I have the IR receiver installed on the GPIO.

    Using the Infrared Remotes Wiki I have found the following:

    Listing /usr/lib/udev/rc_keymaps includes a file rc6_mce

    Testing the keytable using ir-keytable -c -w /usr/lib/udev/rc_keymaps/rc6_mce it Reads the table and then returns /sys/class/rc/ no such file or directory, no devices found.

    I have created a /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg with:

    * rc-rc6-mce libreelec_multi

    is the GPIO automatically enabled?

    Any suggestions please?

    No - you have to configure it with overlay - read here:

    Introduction

    After 6 years of using cheap boxes I decided to explore other hardware options. I was shocked at the price of Shields and some higher end boxes based on Amlogic S922X chips. After some pondering I ended up getting a Raspberry Pi 4 for it's price to power ratio. I realize that it may not be better or even equivalent to the aforementioned solutions, but it certainly beats my limping 905X based boxes.

    Using a RPI4 is definitely not for the plug and play…
