Thank you very much for your help.

When I got to my computer, version 20240615 had already been released. So first I upgraded to it, and got

After that, via ssh, I upgraded to LibreELEC-AMLGX.aarch64-12.80.0.tar, and ir works fine. If necessary, I downgrade the rating to 20240615 and get a full log, and above that is only what I managed to catch.

**chewitt** · June 15, 2024 at 2:22 PM

The fix will be in official LE nightlies from tomorrow so that's expected. No need to check anything.

elexir · June 15, 2024 at 3:33 PM

Ok and thank you one more time.

Am I missing something ? The remote works in 9.2.8 coreelec without modification.
The device is a Tanix Tx9s ( S912 rev a)
thank you!

openminded · July 29, 2024 at 10:57 PM

I found what was missing, it was /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg .

I added :
LibreELEChv:~/.config # cat rc_maps.cfg
meson-ir * tanix_tx5max.toml

After that it worked like on the old version.

I don't understand how things work from the docs, is there no way to load things automatically like on the old version ?
I am happy it works anyway, thank you
