Setup for IR remote "Logitech 650"

  • I have an Intel NUC that has been running kodi on windows for many years now.

    However, the OS has started to become problematic, so I've switched over to LE.

    I've gotten this to partially work, but I cannot figure out why it is failing with the rest.

    I have a Logitech 650 that I have programmed with a bunch of MCE keyboard commands to talk to Kodi. Its been working fairly well for years.

    I have followed the Wiki - https://wiki.libreelec.tv/configuration/ir-remotes

    I started wit the rc_rc6_mce.toml file. The only key that registered was KEY_OK. Most of my keys would not even register without having the mce_kdb protocol enabled. I got the output from ir-keytable -c -p all -t and made changes to my keytable, but most won't bind to the EV_KEY event. Some are working... and the difference is eluding me.

    ir-keytable output:

    Here's my output from ir-keytable -r

    After stopping Kodi and eventlircd, I ran ir-keytable -t and captured the output. It shows (at the end) that some of the keys are correctly calling the EV_KEY event, while most are not.

    What am I missing here?

  • It's best to stay away from the MCE keyboard protocol, it's a bit of a mess and as you noticed it doesn't work well.

    Reprogram your Logitech remote to use the standard RC6 MCE (remote) protocol and it should work fine out of the box.

    so long,
