Cannot get IR remote to work on RPi 3

  • Hi Guys,

    I hope someone can help I've been struggling to get my IR remote to work in Kodi the ir receiver is connected to GPIO 18 and the dt overlay entry is added to my config.

    I was able to record the remote and have put the resulting lircd.conf into /storage/.config/lircd.conf

    The only issue I have is kodi and irw aren't reacting to it also the lircd process is using 100% CPU

    Code
    347 root      20   0    3264   1864   1688 R 100.0  0.2   4:13.84 lircd


    When running lirc manually it complains about a missing file "options.conf" in /etc/lirc/


    Any help appreciated.


    That's my lircd file


    cat /proc/bus/input/devices


    Code
    cat /proc/bus/input/devicesI: Bus=0000 Vendor=0000 Product=0000 Version=0000N: Name="lircd"P: Phys=S: Sysfs=/devices/virtual/input/input0U: Uniq=H: Handlers=sysrq kbd event0 B: PROP=0B: EV=100003B: KEY=3ffff 7fe001f ffff000f 7ffffff ffffffff ffffffff 0 0 0 ffffff ffffff07 ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffefffff ffffffff fffffffe
    Code

  • Update.


    Seems like it's an issue with the remote or the config I downloaded the MCE remote config and tried the HP remote I used in a different room and it works with a few button that aren't correct however I'm stumped I've definitely used the other remote before and the irrecord works fine.

    Also the 100% is gone as well..


    GOT it:

    I compared a few files and it appears the 0x00000000 parts need to be removed from the config file even though they were added by the irrecord anyhow it works now
