[x86-64] MCE Remote Not Stable

    • New

    Hi all, I'm currently running LE 12.0.1 Generic-legacy.x86_64 build. Everything is running well except for 2 minor issues I'd like to resolve with the help of this forum that I think are related to 'drivers'. I come from a windows background though so I'm not sure how to troubleshoot them for LE?

    The first issue is that I'm using an MCE remote. Most of the functions of the remote work (navigation, volume, play button etc), however some functions (OK, pause, stop) don't respond. The receiver flashes red when I press those keys, but nothing happens on screen. Strangely, maybe once out of every 10 reboots all those functions work, but after it reboots I get limited function again. I can't quite figure out a pattern to this, but the fact everything works some of the time hopefully means there's a possible permanent fix?

    If someone could advise me how I can get my system to recognise these devices properly it would be much appreciated!

    The same behaviour as before, some boots and all the functions of the remote work, but most boots the OK, BACK, PAUSE buttons don't respond but the receiver flashes red in each press anyway.

    Probably one of those fake MCE remotes. You already had this problem with LE 11.95.1:

    MCE remote no longer working

    Hi All,

    I recently installed the latest LE beta 11.95.1. On first boot my HP MCE remote was working fine. However, after rebooting it no longer works. I have tried rebooting a few times but cannot get it to work. The receiver is flashing red on button presses, however LE does not respond. Although, if I press the power button on the remote it tries to put the system to sleep, so there is some kind of communication happening.

    I have tried the Keymap Editor add-on but it does not recognise button…

    Apologies for the delay. Here is a link to the latest log files on a clean install showing the directional presses working but not the OK button.

    LE does the job:

    Code

...
Nov 26 06:36:23.886527 LibreELEC kernel: IR RC6 protocol handler initialized

    Because your log looks good now, I think it's a hardware issue with your (fake) MCE remote.
