Neuftech USB RFID reader - no events on /dev/input/by-id/usb-HXGCoLtd_27db-event-kbd

    Hello,

    I'm trying to write a little script for playing songs by scanning an RFID card on LibreELEC. I use a

    The RFID reader gets recognized, loaded and provides a valid libinput device node called

    Code
    /dev/input/by-id/usb-HXGCoLtd_27db-event-kbd

    Trying to dump input events does not show anything when scanning an RFID card,

    Code
    cat /dev/input/by-id/usb-HXGCoLtd_27db-event-kbd | hexdump

    while the input seems to work correctly, because Kodi GUI changes to another place and plays the according navigation sound. My Questions:

    • Is there any possibility to get valid input events from /dev/input/by-id/usb-HXGCoLtd_27db-event-kbd for shell script usage?
    • Would it be also possible still getting these events while disabling input for the Kodi GUI (changing menus or playback position)?

    It is working on OSMC, but I would like to change to LibreELEC... :) Unfortunately this has to work to do so...
