Guys thank you for your remarks and advice. I have been using forums for a very long time, so I am accustomed with the do's and don'ts.
I have read the FAQ, of this forum and others dealing with that same problem. I have tried what has been advised, all of it, naming the file remote.conf and also sometimes rc_maps.cfg, depending on who you ask. I have tried putting it in the /storage/.config folder and also in the /storage/.config/rc_keymaps folder depending on who you ask. I have tried countless files downloaded from a lot of different sources. I have even changed the batteries on the remote, mind you. And still, it does not work.
I am feeling stupid going after these instructions, blindfolded.
What I am lacking here is 2 things:
- how can I make sure that I have the right conf file and then restricts the tests to one and only one file?
- how can I monitor the process of loading the file by LE ? This to make sure I am actually loading something
