Flirc v2 and LibreELEC

Flirc software needs a "desktop" OS to run the IR receiver setup app; Windows, macOS, or something like RaspiOS. There are some command line binaries/utils too, but last time I tried to run those they didn't work on LE - although I'll admint that was more than a few years ago now so things might have changed. I did try to download them and test before replying, but LE12 (which I'm using) uses aarch64 (64-bit) userspace and the tools are armhf (32-bit) so don't run - I've pinged Jason (who runs flirc) about that.

It would be nice to have a binary add-on that installs the command-line tools and make them accessible. The challenge historically is that flirc deliberately ships only pre-compiled versions of their binaries, and the way those are (not) versioned (and the lack of sources) would require us to break rules around the content we allow in our binary repo (only things compiled from source, and properly versioned). The workaround for that would be for flirc to run their own repo (to their own rules) and we could embed their repo installer in our repo instead, but that needs some new tricks to be learned on the flirc end. It's something I'll chat to Jason about.
