[SOLVED] IR, no output from IRW and not work

    Hello everyone,

    i am stuck with configuring IR remote (from Microlab Pro 3) can't get it work. Here is there full story - what was done:

    1. Added - "dtoverlay=lirc-rpi,gpio_in_pin=25" to config.txt (as i use iqaudio pi-dac+ which is mapped IR pin to 25)

    2. dmesg | grep lirc

    Code
    [    3.576349] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 244
[    3.620614] lirc_rpi: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.
[    4.551568] lirc_rpi: auto-detected active low receiver on GPIO pin 25
[    4.551766] lirc_rpi lirc_rpi: lirc_dev: driver lirc_rpi registered at minor = 0
[    4.551769] lirc_rpi: driver registered!
[    4.775897] input: lircd-uinput as /devices/virtual/input/input2
[    4.899723] input: eventlircd as /devices/virtual/input/input3

    3. killall lircd

    4. mode2 -d /dev/lirc0

    So IR - receiver works fine.

    5. Tried this: ir-keytable -p LIRC from guide: Guide To lirc rpi GPIO Receiver - LibreELEC

    Code
    Couldn't find any node at /sys/class/rc/rc*.

    So just skipped.

    6. irrecord /storage/.config/lircd.conf

    Created for me ml3.lircd.conf so i have just copied and renamed it to lircd.conf


    7. Reboot, and that's it - configured buttons do not work, irw - shows nothing.

    8. Tried Added/Created Lircmap.xml added to ~/.kodi/userdata

    Code
    <lircmap>
<remote device="ml3">
                <volumeplus>KEY_VOLUMEUP</volumeplus>
                <volumeminus>KEY_VOLUMEDOWN</volumeminus>
                <mute>KEY_MUTE</mute>
</remote>
</lircmap>

    No help.

    Almost forgot:

    RP3 (IR - Infrared Receiver (TSOP38238)), LE:8.0.2 (Kernel 4.9.29), Build: Kodi 17.3, Git 147cec4, (25.05.2017)

    Will be appreciated for any help.

    Could you try with the gpio-ir overlay instead of the lirc-rpi overlay?

    Just change your config.txt to contain this:

    Code
    dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=25

    Also disable Lirc in LibreELEC Settings -> Services.

    Then follow this guide to configure the remote using ir-keytable: WD TV Live remote

    Using irrecord to manually create a lircd.conf file has always been problematic. In your case it created an invalid file - you'd have to remove the 0x00000000 from the keycodes.

    Using a remote with a IR standard protocol like rc-5, rc-6 or nec and the in-kernel decoding (which is available if you use gpio-ir) avoids most of these pitfalls.

    so long,

    Hias

    Dear HiassofT

    Thank you for your help. Before trying gpio-ir, i did try to correct lircd.conf and you was absolutely correct - generated file is invalid because of 0x00000000, so i removed these zeros sequences.

    Also just in case i have removed lircmap.xml which i have created desperately when was trying last time to solve that.

    After reboot - it magically works! So all problem was in lircd.conf generated file.

    Thanks for help and support.
