Unfortunately no. I tried out everything I could think of but eventually switched to Bluetooth which works nicely now.

Are you sure your Harmony is set up right?
Yes, otherwise the identical setup wouldn't work with the same libreelec version (and config) on the old Raspberry 3, would it?
Code

All the others keypresses are not there.

Therefore we have a wiki page with the current info - and it was linked in the first post of this thread:
Unfortunately it is NOT current as you can see by reading my post. The setup isn't valid for RPi4 anymore, it seems. And the troubleshooting tipps don't work like described.
I'm still clueless. I followed wymand's advice and set gpio_pin to 24 but then "ir-keytable -r" doesn't show anything at all anymore. So I guess pin 18 is right BUT why is it showing codes from a third party remote but not from my Harmony which works with the RPI3? Ok, that might be a bug in ir-keytable but keypresses are not received by kodi. I have tried all the hints from the wiki ...
I suspect that - although I stopped kodi and eventlircd - something is still reading the events and not processing them correctly. That would maybe explain why other scancodes get through.
Do you guys have any other advice for me please?

Am I really the only one with this setup and this problem?

I'm puzzled with my new Raspi4. I installed libreelec on it and restored the backup from my Raspi3 (same, latest LE version).
Everything is there and works as expected - except my IR remote. (logitech harmony)
I've connected the same IR receiver to the GPIO pins and set "dtoverlay=gpio-ir" in the config.txt
What could be wrong?
I even tried a clean reinstall because I read that the MCE IR should work out of the box - but no luck.
Interestingly: reinstalling the RPi3 with latest libreelec version, restoring the backup and setting "dtoverlay=gpio-ir" leads to a working IR remote on the old RP3. Why not on the RPi4?
Thanks for ANY hints!

PS: I followed Infrared Remotes [LibreELEC.wiki] but the debugging doesn't work like described. E.g. "ir-keytable -t" doesn't show any of my IR keys. It's very strange however that it shows scancodes from a third party remote: Why not from the Harmony? (BTW the exact same happens on the RPi3 where the IR remote is working - I'm confused)
