Did you tried CEC?

I have tried enabling CEC. It appears that my Panasonic TH-L32EM5A only supports CEC for detecting / switching sources. It doesn't appear to send the input from the remote.

I tried using the irrecord program. Since my TV's standby/power led flickers whenever is receives an IR signal that it understands, I am assuming that the button on the remote is working. When I ran it using as a "update" for the current lircd.conf, the config contained:

Code

KEY_INFO                 0x0

When I tried recording a new lircd.conf file, using a known button for comparison, BOTH keys were recorded in the config with a code of 0x0

Am I overlooking something obvious?

Are you using some custom Lircmap.xml and/or remote.xml files?

KEY_MENU (or KEY_CONTEXT_MENU) and KEY_INFO should work out-of-the box.

so long,

I am using no other custom files (in relation to the infrared remote). Since I have been using the same lircd.conf file for so long, I can't recall why I skipped the kets now missing from the config. Doe LE 9.0 still offer the ability to record a custom lircd.conf file?

I apologise in advance if this is something solved in a document that i have misread.

I have a RP3b+ that is now running LE 9.0. It was a clean install, with minimal config files brought across from the previous setup. I followed the instructions for updating the Pi to use the gpio-ir driver.

I brought across the lircd.conf file and almost all of the buttons are working perfectly on my Universal remote configured as a Panasonic remote. I understand that some may have the initial suggestion that I reprogram the universal remote as an MCE clone. The reason for making it a Panasonic remote was to have it maintain the ability to turn the TV on/off and to switch input after a power outage.

The INFO and MENU buttons are not working. I have spent two days tinkering with irw and the contents of my lircd.conf file. Nothing seems to let me see the buttons detected by Kodi. Running ir-ctl -r confirms that the remote is sending something and that the Pi is receiving it. I just can't get the Pi to recognise the codes.

Is there some other file / command I should be looking at?
