Remote control stoped working on LE11

  • Dear community,

    after a long time I wanted to use my Intel NUC again. I made an update to the latest nightly build (nightly-20220322-dfe88a6 (Generic.x86_64)) and had to realize that my Remote Control stops working. My last running LE version was LE9 stable. I did some tests with LE10 stable, but here also... NOT WORKING.

    Is there any major change from LE 9 to 10/11?

    Here some hardware information:

    - Intel NUC5i5RYH

    - Xbox One Media Remote

    I've checked the ir-keytable:

    And i've checked with ir-ctl -r if the remote control is broken, but it seems to be fine and the NUC receives input.

    Code
    +3200 -101600
    +3050 -101600
    +3050 -101600
    +3050 -101600
    +3050 -101600
    +2950 -101600
    +3000 -101600
    +200 -101600

    Can someone help me to make this work again in LE11?

    Thx in advance!

    Especially the output of ir-keytable -t (with kodi and eventlircd stopped) would be useful. Also make sure you are not running lircd (i.e. you don't have a lircd.conf file in .config).

    Also post the output of ir-keytable -r

    so long,

    Hi Hias,

    thank you for your answer.

    I have checked if there is any "lircd" file in /storage/.config folder. -> negative

    Also I checked the output of "ir-keytabe -r" but there is no response when I press some buttons on the remote:

    Code
    LibreELEC:~/.config # ir-keytable -t
    Testing events. Please, press CTRL-C to abort.

    Thx

  • did you stop kodi and eventlircd before? What's the output of ir-keytable -r?

    so long,

    Hias

    Hi Hias,

    yes I stopped it before:

    Code
    systemctl stop kodi
    systemctl stop eventlircd

    Here is the output of ir-keytable -r

    Thx

  • Thanks, ir-keytable -r output looks OK.

    Please try running "ir-keytable -p all -t", push some buttons on the remote and post the output.

    Also run "ir-ctl -r", push a single button for a very short time (quarter or max half a second) and post the full output you got - the ir-ctl output in your first post looks rather odd.

    BTW: are you sure the batteries in the remote are OK?

    so long,

    Hias

  • Hi Hias,

    thank you for your post.

    Here the output of ir-keytable -p all -t and some button pushes:

    Code
    LibreELEC:~ # ir-keytable -p all -t
    Protocols changed to unknown other lirc rc-5 rc-5-sz jvc sony nec sanyo mce_kbd rc-6 sharp xmp cec imon rc-mm
    Loaded BPF protocol xbox-dvd
    Testing events. Please, press CTRL-C to abort.

    Here the output of ir-ctl -r with long button push:

    Code
    LibreELEC:~ # ir-ctl -r
    +3000 -101600
    +3850 -101600
    +3350 -101600
    +4300 -101600

    The batteries are already changed.

    Thx


    Okay now it works. I did a complete fresh installation of Libreelec and now the remote control works.

    Something in an old configuration must have caused the problem.

    Many thanks for your support! :)
