I got an MCE remote I've use for ten years. First in Ubuntu and XBMC, later OpenELEC and now latest years LibreELEC. At first I use the IR receiver that came with the remote, but for 1-2 years I've used a Intel NUC with built in IR instead.
During all upgrades of OpenELEC and LibreELEC the remote has still worked. I got a customized remote.xml in ~/.kodi/userdata/keymaps that I've kept during the years, where I've edited some stuff. The four colored buttons I got on the remote I don't want Kodi to use, but instead they are mapped with irexec/lirdrc to four different scripts that force a restart of LibreELEC or force Kodi to restart. irexec are configured by the file .lircrc in ~/.config
But, yesterday, the remote didn't work. First I thought it was the batteries, even though I say the remote to light up when I pressed the buttons. Changing them didn't help. I also connected the IR receiver mentioned above, and I can see that it flashes when I press a button on the remote (like if the remote actually do send something), but Kodi doesn't do anything.
I know that I found the option in the LibreELEC settings, to enable Lirc, and I might have enabled that. Because, as I told you, it worked even before that.
Is there a way to test my remote like in a terminal, or something else I can do to get it to work again? Are there any changes done lately? BTW, I'm on LibreELEC 8.0.1 Generic Build, Intel.
Thanks.
