    I recommend using bluetooth for a remote or at least a FLIRC. Only for wake up using IR.

    I did start with IR RC6 on my Haswell NUC. That was painfull slow with my Harmony 650.

    The i moved on to FLIRC with Harmony FLIRC HTPC profile, that was much faster. A FLIRC acts as a keyboard and works all the time without OS software support. But you need a windows to make firmware updates. I did an update only once as it was new and use the preprogrammed factory profiles.

    Now i use a Harmony Elite with bluetooth. This is faster then my eyes, when it is scrolling.

    eightball70 i follow the bug 105887 but i did see there is already a workaround

    So for all Gemini Lake user: I have build some LE version with the 1st workaround for Bug 105887.

    I think your best bed is a 6.42 or 7.42 version, but 5.42 and probably 3.42 should work too.

    Edit: First try LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2.5-6.42.1-201805201701-kernel-4.16.9, because for eightball70 / dkhait this one works and dkhait had some problems with other versions ( see this post #50 )

    - xf86-video-nvidia 390.59

    - created/added xorg-server-1.19.6-sync_pci_ids_1.20.0.patch

    - created/added libva1 for compatibility, so that tvheadend42 should work

    8.2.5-6.42.1-kernel-4.16.9 and in testing 4.17-rc5

    - all update from 8.2.5-5.42.1-kernel-4.14.41

    8.2.5-7.42.0-kernel-4.16.9 and 4.17-rc5

    - this is for testing only

    - all update from 8.2.5-6.42.1-kernel-4.16.9

    - LLVM 6.0.0 for Mesa 3D 18.1.0 compile

    - Mesa 3D 18.1.0

    - this is a attempt to get AMDGPU Raven Ridge running (not working so far)

    @eightball70 you did catch my latest 8.2.5-6.42.1-kernel-4.16.9 and i was not done with the 4.17-rc5. The testing 8.2.5-6.42.1-kernel-4.17-rc now should work too with your bluetooth. When you get me or point me to the "No Signal" patch i will build a version with that patch.


    here are the versions that are new the last 2 days (if you downloaded before you should do it again) HiDrive

    @bullrin i just build 2 with alle the lastest things for AMDGPU (i hope)

    - kernel-firmware from yesterday with brand new AMDGPU firmware

    - kernel 4.17-rc5 and 4.16.9

    - xorg server 1.19.6 updated with all pci ids from 1.20.0+ (many new AMD)

    - LLVM 6.0.0 update to build Mesa 18.1.0

    - mesa 3d 18.1.0

    - xf86-video-amdgpu latest 18.0.1

    you can try this one from here HiDrive

    The one thing what is left (as far as i can tell) is to do it with xorg server 1.20.0, but this makes things a little bit more complicated.

    @5schatten the tip to fix tvheadend helped me to see the problem and i have build a new version with old libva too. Yes i need to use git. Sorry so far there are only my patches which apply agains git version ov LE 8.2.5 and they are here HiDrive

    new version 8.2.5-6.42.1 with kernel 4.16.9

    - most updates are from the git repo of @Sschatten GitHub - 5schatten/LibreELEC.tv: A bit more OS for KODI

    - update iwlwifi-firmware from Sschatten git

    - update intel-ucode from Sschatten git

    - new package cc-dvb from Sschatten git as media_build replacement, so dvb drivers should be fine again

    - created a new package libva1 to fix tvheadend42, so old 1.7.3 libva (as in original LE 8.2.5) version exists too

    - kernel 4.16.9

    - carefull i just builded it and did no testing at all (so far)

    @psycmos try my new version 8.2.5-6.42.1-kernel-4.16.9 from here HiDrive and you should not need the suggested workaround from Sschatte (which gave me the hint for probably solving it)

    8.2.5-5.42.1 with kernel 4.14.40 and Coffee Lake support

    ...

    - libva-intel-driver disabled and replaced by intel-vaapi-driver 2.1.0 (this could break tvheadend42 plugin VAAPI support)

    ...

    Sorry @psycmos i needed to update the intel lib and my fear was that will break tvheadend and it did. I just did a short try to build tvheadend42 in my 8.2.5-6.42.1 build env, but it wont build with or without transcoding.
