orbsmart am-1 remote

  • Hello everyone :)

    I am using Libreelec on my Raspberry PI 4 , with a Orbsmart AM-1 Remote.

    all keys , except the back key , the back key just works in some menus , so as an example , it doesnt work in the main setting window , but it works when i choose a specific sup menu like system/pvr/player/addons.

    I tried to use the Keymap Editor , but it simly does not get a Valid "Key ID" , it just stays on the default option "browser_back" , when i use another key , for example the mute key on the remote , i get a id "61623" , and this key works fine as back key then

    Maybe someone has the same remote , and can help me out =)

  • Ok , i Just found a Solution to my issue, its maybe not a beautiful one , but it works, at least for now , not sure if it will cause some other things to not work , didnt tested it to much .

    Just in case someone has the same issue , here is my solution.

    Navigate into the keymaps folder.

    Code
    cd /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps

    Create a new File called mouse.xml

    Code
    nano mouse.xml

    paste this into the file

    Code
    <keymap>
     <global>
      <mouse>
       <rightclick>back</rightclick>
      </mouse>
     </global>
    </keymap>

    Then Press ctrl + x then press y followed by enter to save the file you just created.

    then do a simply reboot with

    Code
    reboot

    And everything should work fine now :)


    You can of curse also use a SFTP Client like Filezilla to connect and create the file =)
