  • TV IR remote not working with 11.0.3

    Hello All, Re-posting, hoping for some help.

    Having an issue with my TV IR remote not working with 11.0.3

    Background: Was having issues with the Library, Scanning new shows, they were marked as Watched and couldn't change.

    I tried deleting everything in the Library but that didn't solve the issue.

    At this point I noticed my LE version was not the latest. I made a fresh SD for 11.0.3. That fixed my Library issue but my IR Remote no longer worked.

    Looks like the version that I had and the IR Remote worked was 9.2.8, Kodi was 18.9

    I have uncommented the "dtoverlay=gpio-ir", even added the "gpio_pin=18", still not working.

    Don't know what to do now, any help greatly appreciated.

    Don't know what to do now, any help greatly appreciated.

    Also wondering about the"gpio_pin=18", as the actual PIN number of the header is 12 for GPIO 18.

    I tried 12 but still no working.

    TIA,

    At this point I noticed my LE version was not the latest, what it was I'm a little fuzzy on but I think it was 10. x

    My IR Remote did work just fine however. After update to 11.0.3, it no longer worked.

    I have uncommented the "dtoverlay=gpio-ir", even added the "gpio_pin=18", still not working.

  • Music/Songs

    Hi all,

    Was trying out the Music section and it either doesn't work or I'm doing something wrong.

    Music/Songs I select "Play next" works OK.

    I select "Queue item" doesn't work. It plays something else (random, I think).

    Am I using it wrong or is it a bug?

    Thanks

  • Sharing an External HDD between Pi's

    I have my WD MyBook connected via Ethernet to my router. Don't have to have anything on to use it from my RPi4 and would assume that I could do the same with any other RPi connected to my network. Works great.

  • How to edit remote.xml?

    Quote from Da Flex

    Both. It adds a non-exiting definition or replaces an existing one.

    Wrong question ;). The question is, which Kodi action is linked to the right-click.

    If "ContextMenu" doesn't performs the right action for your needs, selects yours here.

    Using the "Back" action is correct. You probably need different Kodi actions. Define different actions on your remotes color keys.

    I couldn't get it to work with just the simple xml you suggested. I ended up copying the complete original remote.xml file to /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml and then editing the RED KEY action

    That works as expected (have to wait for TV message to go away).

    Maybe the version you posted just needed the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> line?

    The "ContextMenu" was what I needed, it works well not only to "Scan to Library" but to "Add to Favorites".

    My question was, what remote key would be most appropriate to use for the mouse right-click?

    The Green, Yellow and Blue also had defined actions I have just left as is for now.

    Anyway, I have a way to bring up the context menu now so I'm happy. Thanks for the help.

  • How to edit remote.xml?

    Quote from Da Flex

    You are trying to edit a default settings file, which is read-only. To overwrite such settings, you have to create a custom file.

    So what you want is /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml with this content:

    Code
    <keymap>
  <global>
    <remote>
      <red>ContextMenu</red>
    </remote>
  </global>
</keymap>

    Does that add to or replace the default settings?

    What would be the accepted Remote key for a mouse Right-Click?

    I would like to use the Right Key for this but if I understand the Remote.xml file, I would need to know what window I am in to add that without screwing up the other instances when I need the Right Key to work as it is now. An example if I have the "side" menu open and need to go back.

    Is that correct? The Red, Blue, Yellow and Green keys make the TV display a message, which is annoying but it goes away, so the Right Key would be a better choice.

    The reason I need the Context menu is there were movies and TV Shows in my media files that did not input into the Library. I used a wireless keyboard and mouse to "Scan into Library" and fixed those files but think I could use the capability of bringing up the context menu without using the keyboard and mouse (I don't have that out and powered unless I need to).

    Thanks!

  • How to edit remote.xml?

    Hi all,

    I'm trying to get my remote to bring up the Context Menu when I have a video file highlighted.

    I would like to change the function of the Red remote button from it's current action ActivateWindow(TVChannels)

    to ContextMenu

    Using Putty and going to the usr/share/kodi/system/keymaps folder, then typing nano remote.xml

    Editor opens but says file is unwriteable. I am logging in as root.

    So, what am I doing wrong?

    Thanks,

  • Request a Wiki account

    Quote from Klojum

    Your record is on repeat.

    Which part of the Wiki has your interest?

    IS this directed to me? Sorry for the repeat but did not see any response like other requests.

    I do have a question on the Wiki itself .. is there some sort of Table of Contents? The Main page has a few links but one cannot just look over topics and explore them (unless I'm missing something).

    People have posted these links in the Kodi Forum ..

    Infrared Remotes [LibreELEC.wiki]

    Raspberry Pi Config.txt [LibreELEC.wiki]

    but I have NO idea how they found them. They have a "Table of Content" for that topic but I don't see an over all one or how one would look for information on a specific topic. I thought after I had Wiki account that would change.

    Thanks
