T95Z 2G/16G(S912) remote control does not work on 10.95.0-box

Hello,

My TV box T95Z(2G/16G) installed LibreELEC-S912.arm-8.2-8.2.2.3(Kodi 17) many years, everything is ok.

Now I try official LibreELEC-AMLGX.arm-10.95.0-box(Kodi 20) with clean installed sd card.

After boot, cec is ok but remote control does not work.

(dtb: meson-gxm-q200.dtb, and I also try q201, mecool-kiii-pro, minix-neo-u9h...)

The keymap of T95Z is same as x96max, so I try:

ir-keytable -c -w /usr/lib/udev/rc_keymaps/x96max.toml

But remote control still does not work..

Then I try:

systemctl stop kodi

systemctl stop eventlircd

ir-keytable -t

ir-keytable -c -p all -t

No response after keys press.

And I try:

ir-ctl -r

I can get messages like:

+10240 -3260 +1800 -430 +11110 -420 +1810 -430 +1810 -430 +1810 -420 +1810 -430 +1810 -430 +1810 -430 +2970 -430 +1810 -420 +2980 -420 +5300 -420 +4140 -420 +2980 -420 +1820 -420 +1810 -430 +1810 -38390 +10240 -970 +1810 -66132

Here is url of log from pastekodi command.

Thank you in advance!

Code

mkdir -p /storage/.config/rc_keymaps
cp /usr/lib/udev/rc_keymaps/x96max.toml /storage/.config/rc_keymaps/custom_remote
sed -i 's/x96max/custom_remote/g' /storage/.config/rc_keymaps/custom_remote
echo "*  *  custom_remote" > /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg
reboot

Thanks for your reply.

I follow the statements to add custom_remote, but remote still does not work.

And I check again:

systemctl stop kodi

systemctl stop eventlircd

ir-keytable -t

ir-keytable -c -p all -t

No response after keys press.

btw, Ethernet is not working on the box. The same issue has been seen on several GXM devices and I'm not sure quite what the issue is yet.

I found the solution: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/12657-t9…for-kernel-530/

After tested modified dtb file, Ethernet is ok.

Attached modified dtb and dts(txt) files.

please share "pastekodi" log URL afterwards, thanks.

Thanks a lot.

I try 10.95.1-box with clean installed sd and meson-gxm-t95z-plus.dtb file.

After boot, Ethernet is ok, but remote control also does not work.

I check again:

systemctl stop kodi

systemctl stop eventlircd

ir-keytable -c -w /usr/lib/udev/rc_keymaps/x96max.toml

ir-keytable -v -t No response

ir-keytable -c -p all -t No response

Here is the log: http://ix.io/4nWd

Sure, I got it.

Thanks a lot.

reboot

^ That version should have fixed Ethernet and USB, and I removed the keymap so IR is in a 'blank' state. IR isn't working in the staff members box either and (so far) none of us figured out why, it's most unusual.

I tried my mce remote with this new version. (Only via mce ir receiver(USB interface))

After boot, I plug mce ir receiver, but it is not work. (only one device shown on ir-keytable)

So I roll back to the previous version of meson-gxm-t95z-plus.dtb and tried again.

Then ir-keytable got another device.

I check again: (each time only pressed 'UP' key once with remote control of T95Z)

systemctl stop kodi

systemctl stop eventlircd

ir-keytable -s rc0 -t

No response

ir-keytable -s rc1 -t

I am not sure why ir-ctl command produces very different results for the two devices. (Maybe this is why ir-keytable can not parse???)

And after configured ~/.config/rc_maps.cfg and rc_keymaps, remote control is ok(via mce ir receiver).

Here is the log for your reference. http://ix.io/4ody

Thanks a lot.
