I took your example above and assigned KEY_POWER to button 1 as 0x52 KEY_POWER

After restarting Kodi, it worked, button 1 switched off the box.

However, I would actually like to assign (for example) the letter "O" to button 1, so I re-wrote it as...

0x52 KEY_O

After restarting Kodi, button 1 does nothing. Any ideas why its not working?

(the letter "O" brings up codec info on screen during video playback.)

Log in to your box using ssh, and then run this command:

: > /storage/.config/udev.rules.d/98-eventlircd.rules

Restart Kodi, eventlircd, or reboot the box just for sure That's it. It will work.

Unfortunately not, as it worked for me with LibreELEC 8.2.3.1.

LE 8 using another way to deal with remote, which is file remote.conf file. And that easier to config than rc_keymaps file, at least in my opinion (Leia still in development so not expect to be perfect).

I just assume it will work, normally I'll test first but I'm away so... please let me know the result

I have an M8S PRO+ and the remote is identical to the one in post #243

I have successfully found all the key scan codes as explained in post #1 and need to make a map

However, the link in post #1 ...

"Now with the keycodes you need to create your map you can look at

https://github.com/libreelec-aml/libreelec.tv/tree/master/packages/sysutils/v4l-utils/keymaps for an example"

...is not working.

Has anyone got the correct link to the example?

That file is going to be look like this:

# table your_device_name, type: NEC
0x804d KEY_MUTE
0x8056 KEY_VOLUMEDOWN
0x804e KEY_VOLUMEUP
0x8025 KEY_LEFT
0x8026 KEY_UP
0x8027 KEY_RIGHT
0x8028 KEY_DOWN
0x800d KEY_ENTER
0x801b KEY_BACK 
0x8053 KEY_HOME
0x8051 KEY_POWER
0x8049 KEY_MENU
0x8052 KEY_PLAYPAUSE

For all the command/function, you can have a look here: linuxinputdevices.cpp

Quote from HiassofT

You can disable the Linux event -> lirc event translation, eg by creating an empty eventlircd udev rule: Code
: > /storage/.config/udev.rules.d/98-eventlircd.rules

then the remote buttons/keys reach kodi like standard keyboard input.

There's one drawback though: kodi currently can't deal with a lot of keycodes used on remotes

Hi there, I have used this method to create a keymap with longpress mode, however, I had an issue with key Stop. Even though I put KEY_STOP in remote rc_maps file, but there is nothing happen when I press it in the playing movie. Anyone else experience this kind of error?

When I stop the kodi and monitoring the key being press, it still recognise that as a KEY_STOP pressed. I'm using the latest LE9.0 in this thread: Test LibreELEC images with KODI-18 for S9xxx

Quote from senzalice

White and tmm68, thanks for your help, much appreciated.

After re-reading post #1 (LE9.0 remote configs ir-keytable Amlogic devices) , I had a go at scanning for IR codes for my remote.

I used SSH to stop Kodi and Lirc with systemctl stop kodi and systemctl stop eventlircd

I know this worked because Kodi was frozen on screen.

Then I used ir-keytable -t and got the message to start pressing keys on my remote.

However, at this point nothing happened. I did not get any scan codes.

I also tried ir-keytable -c -p nec -t and ir-keytable -c -p rc-6 -t and ir-keytable -c -p all -t with no luck.

Is there something i'm missing...or doing wrong?

I know asking this would be silly but have you put the battery in the remote? Is the remote working in Android?

Quote from senzalice

Hi balbes150,

I have successfully installed and run your Kodi 18 (Leia) images for S812 - on an M8S OTT box (AP6330) on a USB stick.

I have tried both the MXIII_Plus and LAN_100 images and they work fine...except for the remote control.

I'm using the original remote control that came with the M8S.

I have tried a couple of "remote.conf" with no luck (from an M8 and an M8S)

Do you know of any "remote.conf" file that might work?

Thanks.

Think you tried with wrong method, the ones that you tried is for Kodi 17.x.

With Kodi 18 Leia, you should follow the step here: LE9.0 remote configs ir-keytable Amlogic devices

... a download of 151 Mbps, which is in line with my ISP 150 Mb fibre package ( we often get slightly more speed than we pay for here which is nice)...

Here in Australia, I am getting 4~7Mbps from Telstra ADSL2+ with a package of $99/month (Unlimited Data)... There is no NBN, fibre, etc... available. Could not register with other providers as there is no infrastructure. Where I live is about 10 minutes to the central business district (CBD) in Sydney. So SAD for Australia internet users.

Quote from RayW

Oh yes and still wondering if anyone knows about switching off the front panel display which permanently shows "boot" when running LE ?? Not that important but would be nice to fix this. Anybody ??

Suggest you have a look at this post: LED (VFD) Displays in LibreELEC. Customize it with your own liking.

Quote from chewitt

The good (long-term) thing is that those feature are being actively worked upon...

Love you and your work on improving experience with LibreELEC on Amlogic devices Keep up chewitt...

There are some ready made remote files here for coreelec. Just copy them to the correct location & reboot

Do you have any idea how to create a remote config cfg that support mouse function on remote for Kodi 18 (LE8.90 or CE)? For the Kodi 17.x, with the remote.conf, I can do it. But for Kodi 18, using .cfg, I have no glue how to do it. Assign BTN_MOUSE perhaps?

Quote from Sharuman

Hi!

I Have used CoreELEC a few weeks, and yesterday, I went back to libreelec.

Remote does not work, even adding the specific files of the remote.

Before flashing coreelec, remote always works fine.

I have a Beelink mxiii.

Does anybody any idea what is wrong?

Thanks in advance 😉

Did you use LE 8.2 or LE 8.90? If LE 8.2 then you need to reconfigure the remote to work with your box as LE 8.2 and LE 8.90 (or CE) use different method to recognise the IR signal. Have a look here: LE9.0 remote configs ir-keytable Amlogic devices (for LE 8.90 and CE) and Create remote.conf from scratch (for LE 8.2). Determine your desired image then the method for the remote. Cheers.

Hi guys,

so LibreElec or CoreElex working on W95 box? With what image and dtb? Thanks.

Im thinking about buying this box.

Suggest you buy a S905X for much easier compatible if you wish to use stable Kodi 17.x. The reason is mentioned below (so CoreELEC is your only options):

Quote from GDPR-2

interesting I know some S905W boxes will not boot 8.2 image with the p212 dtb but mine does.

8.2 builds have been largely abandoned as work is focused on Leia, I have no intention of working on it In afraid.

Leia is your only option.

Quote from znahuja

hi sir, i have s905x 6.0 android, i want to instal libreelec, i try 8.2.3.1 with all dtb images, but box is not booting it goes to recovery, need help

Read this first: [HOWTO + FAQ] Install community builds on S905/S905D/S905W/S905X/S912 device

Then try with ones of these image (I tried with kszaq image, it didn't work; but these two listed below works for me, at least):

1. wrxtasy image: [8.2.4.1] LibreELEC Kodi Krypton - S905 & S912 devices
2. balbes150 image: LibreELEC-S905_SD_USB.aarch64-17.6_20180122.img.gz

_{Next times please put some more effort to give more information (model box, chipset, wifi, how you set up, how you did, etc...).}

Hi folks, is anyone try this for Kodi 18 Leia yet? Change label /dev/data to "STORAGE"? I have tried this on my x96 1GB RAM with the dtb gxl_p212_1g.dtb, everything is fine, but I could not turn on neither connect to ssh of the box. With the /storage mount to /dev/mmcblk1p2, it works.

The image I have tried is:

- LibreELEC-S905.arm-9.0-devel-20180621082211-5287365.img

- CoreELEC-S905.arm-8.90.4.img

Thanks.

Anyone knows how to check autostart.sh using SSH in this version?

LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.2.4.2-Test2.wetekdvb.img.gz

What did you mean by "check autostart.sh"?

This is what I'll do:

# Login to SSH

cd /storage/.config
nano autostart.sh

Edit autostart.sh as below:

#!/bin/bash
(echo 1 > /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/output_rgb)&

Save file by press: Ctrl-X -> Y -> Enter. Then make the file executable and reboot:

chmod 755 ./autostart.sh
reboot

Enjoy

Hi, I'm first time user of Minix U9 with LibreELEC.

Taking SMB defaults when copying files from Win7-64 PC over CAT6 LAN to USB3 attached HDD on Minix U9 LibreELEC, I'm getting a file transfer rate of only 3 kbytes/s.

For comparison, when copying over same CAT6 LAN from Win7-64 PC to:

• old WDTV copying to same USB3 attached HDD I get 10 kbytes/s, or
• ASUS router's Network-attached USB3 HDD I get 22 kbytes/s (that was from PC's SATA1 drive, just got 80 kbytes/s copying from USB3 HDD on PC to ASUS router's Network-attached USB3 HDD)

When saying 3 kbytes/s, do you mean 3KB/s? Even if the ASUS NAS, the speed of 22KB/s or 80KB/s is extremely slow... Please re-check if the speed unit is correct?

Normally, I copy a large file from my laptop to Raspberry Pi 3, I get the maximum of around ~12MB/s (over 100M LAN Adapter on both devices).

Thanks for sharing this. Try it tonight.

Quote from wrxtasy

White , looks like you have been dudded.

That dtb from android.zip you supplied is for a 1GB device only.

I get the same as results as Emerson above.

Use the gxl_p212_1g from the following folder and rename it to dtb.img and also throw a v8.2.4.2 .tar into the Update folder and reboot:

MEGA

That will give you 792Mhz GPU clock capabilities. You only really need 1GB for AML LibreELEC anyway.

Thank you so much for your response. I don't understand why I check in the System Info, free -m and AIDA64, they both see 2GB of RAM, is the Android dtb might has multiple device trees in 1 file?

And how about the cpu freq? I see the scaling_available_frequencies has the maximum of 1200000 only. Can we get 1536000 (1.536GHz) for this S905X chip, I think that the real maximum cpu freq of it?
