Allow IR-KEYTABLE to exclusively deal with IR keyboard commands

  • I'd like to see an option under LibreELEC > Services, similar to the enable / disable LIRC option, for enable / disable eventlircd and any other service that interferes with IR-KEYTABLE.

    I am asking for this is as I would like to be able to use IR-KEYTABLE exclusively for forwarding IR commands to Kodi, so that KEY_C, KEY_KPENTER, etc will work. At the moment, those keys are recognised by IR-KEYTABLE, but something intercepts the key presses before they reach Kodi so they are unusable.

    This feature would be a great help to those of us that are trying to use IR keyboards, rather than IR remotes.

  • Actually I've found the root cause of the issue and it's that XORG sometimes gets loaded before IR-KEYTABLE has loaded a new table on startup. I'd like to see an option to delay startup of XORG slightly (say a few seconds) to give IR-KEYTABLE time to assign it's table.
