Hi there,
I read many comments about Miracast and how Kodi can stream to it.
Can LibreELEC also be used as a MiraCast target? I want to get the screen controlled by my Surface tablet. The TV doesnt support anything like this.
Of course I could have a Microsoft Display Adapter, but wonder if Kodi wouldn't work either.
Thanks.
Yes, you were right, with a different remote it really works. Was not aware that there are IR receivers hard-wired to certain remote controlls.
The IR receiver seems to be that devices here:
The Remote controll is this one

Hias, thanks for support!
Thanks for answering, but as I wrote, I installed latest version today.
It is Version 8.1.1:
LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.1.1.img.gz
Hi there,
I use a HP remote and a IR receiver from a different brand.
I got installed latest LibreELEC just today on a x86 J1900 Intel CPU. LibreELEC works so far quite fine.
"lsusb" gives me for the USB-IR receiver:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0471:20cc Philips (or NXP)"cat /proc/bus/input/devices"

B: LED=1fFor my understanding this tells me that the IR signals will be redirected to /dev/input/event7 where lirc should catch it, right?
The command "irw" does not give any output when I press any random button on my remote.
I assume, the mapping between lirc and event7 is not given. I tried to open hardware.conf in the /etc/lirc/, but there is none.
Where can I establish a link between event7 and the lirc? I think this would be the next step to setup a working IR remote for LibreELEC, right?
Thanks for advice.
