for the Argon ONE Fan, you can use the scripts from Argon40: argon1.sh. Usually fan will start at 55 degrees CPU temperature.

there are also some GIT projects for the Argon One case...

The script is not directly for libreelec, but it has the missing functionality for IR from the LibreElec installation script of the Argon ONE.

Raspbian is the OS if it is not Ubuntu in the script. Maybe you get some hints from the script or LibreElec is compatible with Raspbian in configuration. I looked a little bit into the script and it adds the GPIO for IR into /boot/config.txt, LIRC is used for IR communication. looks not too bad.

You need a special script for Argon One (the version with the installed IR) for usage with LibreElec. V2 of the board allows to power up the RPi4 with IR. Maybe this script helps:

# IR config script
sudo wget https://download.argon40.com/argonone-irconfig.sh -O /usr/bin/argonone-ir --quiet
sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/argonone-ir

the full installation script can be seen in this german article.

there is a big difference between RP2 and RP4. RP4 supports USB3 (which is very different to USB2). USB3 can interfer with WLAN.

have you tried USB2 connector on RP4?

If you want to power up the RP4 with IR, you have to use some board like this one: RemotePi

I have this board and it works without problems with the RP4. It allows to power up the RP4 and normal shutdown of it.

They have a description how to use the board for LibreElec.

I think the RemotePI board is not possible in combination to the Argon ONE case.

The problem is, that both can cut the power to the RPi4. Just think, that you connect USB Power to the RemotePi board. If it is off, there is no problem, BUT if it powers the RPi4, power will also go to the Argon ONE case daughter board, since it powers the RPi4 over the same GPIO pins.

And now the Argon ONE daughter board gets power from the wrong side (not from USB connector, but from RPI4). This may destroy some logic on the Argon ONE side...

I would try to solder the IR receivers in the Ar gon ONE case and test it (you have to press the button to power the RPi4 up), but then you dan control it with any remote IR controller. The LIRC article was using the IR receiver installed on the Argin ONE daughter board.

The Argon ONE has on the extension board some space for adding an IR transmitter and IR diode. This is NOT setup by default.

see this article (almost at bottom).

in this article it is used with LIRC.

I assume you view only "unplayed" videos and not all. should be a configuration somewhere...
