Sony PS3 BT remote special mappings do not work after upgrade to LE12

cosmos · January 16, 2025 at 10:48 AM New

On my LE installation on a Intel-based pc I have been using an old Sony PS3 remote (this one: https://www.amazon.com/Sony-PlayStati…B000M17AVO?th=1 )

Basically I had mapped a couple of keys, like the blue key to call the subtitle download action. This worked till LE11. After upgrading to LE12 this does not work anymore. Basic keys do work (ie navigation, ok, play, stop, back).

I've made sure that the remote.xml custom mappings file resides in the usual directory. Anything else I should examine to make this work?

Probably this https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/9671

in which case grab the latest nightly from https://test.libreelec.tv/ .. both LE12 and LE13 nightlies have the fix.

Thank you, will try that!

Is it possible to stick with the stable 12.0.1 version and just replace packages/sysutils/eventlircd/udev.d/98-eventlircd.rules with the patched one?

If so, would I experience any issues updating to the next LE stable version when released?

~~Is it also possible that~~ ~~RE: LE12 - PS3 BD Remote re-configure mapping~~ ~~is at play here?~~ Doh, of course it does it is the same file

You can create /storage/.config/udev.rules.d/98-eventlircd.rules with the changes and reboot, or update to the nightly. I wouldn't worry about stability with LE12 nightlies as we don't bump much in release branches. Most changes are for add-ons.

Thanks, copying over the existing file worked just fine
