IR remote control does not work anymore on LE, worked fine on OE

  • - Raspberry Pi 1 (B+)
    - IR receiver on GPIO ports
    - LibreELEC 7.0.2, upgraded from OpenELEC 6.0.3

    As the officially documented upgrade way from OE to LE didn't work (system partition too small), I've followed the described way of installing LE from scratch to a new sd card and apply a "restore" of an OE backup to this new sd card

    Everything works fine, except the IR remote control.

    /storage/.config/lircd.conf was included and extracted from OE backup, content:

    dmesg says:

    Code
    # dmesg | grep lirc_rpi
    [   12.283232] lirc_rpi: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.
    [   13.185469] lirc_rpi: auto-detected active low receiver on GPIO pin 18
    [   13.185877] lirc_rpi lirc_rpi: lirc_dev: driver lirc_rpi registered at minor = 0
    [   13.185897] lirc_rpi: driver registered!

    irw command works fine, all keys from /storage/.config/lircd.conf are detected.

    --> Within KODI, nothing works, no keys are detected. <--


    As said in Header, IR remote control works fine with OE.

    Any hints what might be wrong, how to get it working?

    Thanks in advance,
    Michael

  • Are you using some custom key map.xml or similar? Can you post a kodi debug log?

    Does it work in the latest alpha?

    Does it work with a clean install?

  • UNBELIEVABLE.....

    DuckDuckGoed how to provide the requested debug log.
    Enabled debugging via KODI, using the web/hmtl-based "remote control"

    since then, WHYEVER, now, finally, after hours today testing and chatting in #libreelec (THANKS TO USER EuroTrash AGAIN FOR HIS GREAT HELP !!!)
    my problem is *** SOLVED ***

    Works now, as before in OpenELEC.

    BUT: NO CLUE WHY NOW. As NOTHING changed...

    Disabled debugging, enabled CEC again (was advised that CEC and IR sometimes leads to problems), ...: Whatever i do, even after several reboots, it's working stable now.

    Weird, but cool :)
