Not a dumb question at all - in fact, it's an old battery, has been in storage for a while. I would have suspected it first but I thought the fact ir-ctl showed keypresses meant it must be working. But perhaps it needs more power to work correctly? I need to buy a new one, will report back when I do. Thanks.

Thanks HiassofT, I just wiped and installed 8.90.006, I made no configuration changes to the OOTB settings except to enable SSH and connect to my wifi, and get exactly the same symptoms as above when following the same series of commands.

"ir-ctl -r" reports keypresses, but I can't get any further.

Thanks, Matt.

Edit: Was just a flat battery! Didn't realise it could partially work in that condition.

Hi all, I'm struggling to find out where the problem is in getting my remote working.

I'm using LibreELEC 8.2.5, on an Acer Revo 3700, with an HP MCE remote and receiver. I've followed the troubleshooting steps here: Infrared Remotes [LibreELEC.wiki]

My progress is pasted below. Essentially I get feedback from "ir-ctl -r", but not from "ir-keytable -t". Unsurprisingly, I get nothing from "irw", either. I have also tried "ir-keytable -p <protocol> -t" for each of the supported protocols, with no luck. I've played around with different keymaps to no avail, but I presume the problem is at a lower level than that, anyway.

I've been searching here and googling but I haven't found any examples of someone stuck at this particular point. Any ideas on how I can progress would be much appreciated! Thanks.
