IR Remote Zotac issue

genestar · July 5, 2016 at 3:17 PM

Good morning; i've "upgraded" my zotac zbox nano ad11 from OE 6.03 to LE 7.02 and now i have an issue with the original zbox remote: I power on the mini pc, but when LE finish to load Kodi, it doesn't respond anymore. Keyboard and mouse works properly, the remote no. In some cases if I force the shutdown and power on with the button in front of the zbox, the remote works...

Any ideas?

Updates: Anytime I "wake up" the zbox using the remote, it doesn't respond after the load of kodi. I've to power off / on using the hardware button in front of the zbox, and than all works properly. If I shutdown an wait some minutes before power on, the situation is the same; if I wait some seconds instead of minutes, the remote works.

I have a Zotac Zbox CI520. I have "upgraded" from OE 6.03 to LE 7.02.
Same problem: sometimes after Kodi starts dont react on the Logitech Harmony One Remote anymore. Wireless keyboard works.
Thank you.

New update: the problem seems "Logitech Harmony" related. If I use the original Zotac remote, all works fine; if I power on the Zbox with the Harmony, Kodi no longer respond to the 2 remotes.
This issue appear only with LE, NOT in OE 6.03.

so the problem should be the power on signal that the remote harmony send to pc.

It could be, but I noticed that with the external ir reciver (...the one to connect to usb...) the problem doesn't exists.

Hello,
I have the same problem with my CI540 and Harmony remote, but it is random, and I noticed the same behaviour with Openelec 7.0 beta 3 :
- Powering on the CI540, using an harmony hub with "Zotac CI540 multimedia device" IR profile, always works.
- "Sometimes", once Kodi is started, IR signals are ignored

Openelec 6.03 worked fine, and I experienced the issue since Openelec 7, so this seems Kodi-related.

Hello,
the issue is still present (7.90.010) and it is really annoying . I can imagine that this problem is not the highest priority. But do the developers know about the problem?
I just want to remember and maybe I can help somehow?

Best regards
