remote.conf repository

    You could try the coreelec Leia builds, but try to a different usb to start with, when you create the image, there is a folder with device trees, apparently, some of these will support some remotes out of the box.

    My advice is use the 8.95.3 build, there is a problem with the latest Release CoreELEC 8.95.3 release · CoreELEC/CoreELEC · GitHub

    But do bear in mind, the way the remote is enabled, is different, it doesn't use remote conf.

    Also, if the remote doesn't work, there is a repository for various remotes,

    LibreELEC 9.0.x Remote files - Remote Controllers - CoreELEC Forums

    If you do decide the try coreelec, you might want to post more questions there

    Hi, I have just seen that you now have it working :thumbup:

    I also tried corelec. But it had issues with the ethernet and the remote, so unfortunately it was not the best solution for me. I could stay with android and Kodi, but somehow I think the picture quality (video) is not the best

    I'm still looking for remote.config for my Xtreamer Whizz with LE 8.2..

    I have tried many that I found in this forum, but only one works partly (only home and back button).

    So I'm a little bit lost how to make it work.

    Can anybody help?

    Hi bubblegu,

    I have check creating remote from scratch, but I think it's too complicated for me. I'm more a user, don't know nothing about SSH and similar.

    I don't but I had a go.

    I turned on my device, I had my laptop next to it, opened putty log in as root, password libreelec. I then typed in the instructions, to stop kodi, then pressed buttons on the remote, & made a note of the codes.

    If its too difficult, get a bluetooth remote

    I download Putty, but I cant connect to Llibreelec. How to do that?

    Thank you for your patience.

    I have tried this. Got IP from router, type it in and got answer Network error:Connection refused.

    Libreelec and Kodi are not configured yet, because my remote is not working (I'm trying to get right remote.confg, to make it work)

    No I didn't. I just install libreelec and when it starts, I have realise, that remote is not working.

    Also Whizz is not visible over bluetooth and I don't have keyboard.

    I can't remember if ssh is on by default, & if you are using wifi, that needs setting up.

    you have to run this initial config, let it reboot, then put the remote.conf file on the device/usb

    My suggestion, is you buy a wireless remote.
