I've installed a fresh 9.97.1 (19.1.0) on my Raspberry Pi 4

First of all it's wonderful that the mediathek from arte is working now, Thanks.

But I have issues with sound. First I thought this is a bluetooth (PULSEAUDIO) problem, but same issue is with audio over hdmi (ALSA). Then I detected that it's not a problem with streams from the mediathek, only videos and live tv, which are served by Ultimo 4k OWIF 1.2.8 - VTi (14.0.6/2020-02-25-vti-master))

There is a delay of around 1s which seems to increase the longer TV is runing. I've searched around and used a bluetooth dongle instead, but there is no sound at all. Stop/Start of TV is not the solution. Similar, but not that large delays are in videos. as mentioned, streams via mediathek seam to be ok.

I've no idea where to start for solutions. It would be kind if you can support me with some hints (or a solution )

LOG with CSR4.0 Dongle and disabled in config.txt (dtoverlay=disable-bt), No sound and no possibility to select BT device: http://ix.io/3uN5

LOG with onBoard bluetooth, but asynchron video/audio with ~1s: http://ix.io/3uN9

EDIT: The system runs on a 4K monitor with 3840*2160 @30Hz

Thanks for your attention.

I can see clearly now, the rain has gone, BaDaDa

thanks to the wind you have send

Thanks

The -a parameter I used as you mentioned wrong... Now, I may be familar with the usage. I had a VDR running a decade ago. But the lirc support was totally different.

By the way, the wiki says:

Quote

Once you are finished with the keytable, save the file, stop ir-keytable -t with + and then restart it with the keytable file:

What does this '+' mean? I couldn't stop it with that key. Misunderstanding or outdated?

Thanks a lot for your explanation. Following this I'm very close to success.

Now I installed a IR remote sensor (gpio=18) on the Raspi as mentioned in your answer. Also I used a fresh install.

So, I'm lucky to have signals. I edited /storage/.config/rc_keymaps/custom_remote changed the first line to # table custom_remote, type: rc-5

Finally I get the keys and working remote if I start ir-keytable in the shell. After reboot the remote is not working, I have to start ir-keytable in the terminal, then it's ok. So lirc seems not to start during boot, but:

LibreELEC:~ # ps | grep lirc

The line with ConditionPathExists=/storage/.config/lircd.conf was not met... confuses me again. The dates are not correct and it seems that lirc is not correctly configured.

I disabled the /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg as mentioned in LIRC Support. No success

I took a look at <strong>/etc/lirc/lircd.conf</strong>, it's empty, so I did nothing with /storage/.config/lircd.conf. As I remember it was used like the key_maps.cfg and it couldn't be the reason for my issue because after starting ir-keytable it's working...

I created and did some changes in <strong>/storage/.config/lirc_options.conf</strong>. No success

So, finally I am at the last lines of the wiki, where it mentiones:

Quote

Sometimes lircd will run after ir-keytable and in-kernel decoding is disabled as expected.

I find no information where to disable these.

Can anyone give me a hint, please.

Thanks for your attention

EDIT

OK, I solved the problem. I had to set the protocol in /storage/.config/rc_keymaps/custom_remote correctly.

There was

# table custom_remote, type: unknown

now I use

# table custom_remote, type: nec

and it's running.

Thanks again, I move to the next problem....

Hi there, here is a newbee who wants to enjoy Kodi

Yes, I 've checked the wiki (Infra-Red Remotes - LibreELEC.wiki) and tons of other pages with content of IR Remote and Kodi.

Unfortunally I'm now totally confused about remotes. But step by step.

dmesg relevant output:

[    1.756522] usb 1-1.3: new full-speed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd
[    1.850997] usb 1-1.3: New USB device found, idVendor=066f, idProduct=4200, bcdDevice= 0.08
[    1.851008] usb 1-1.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
[    1.851017] usb 1-1.3: Product:  IrDA/USB Bridge
[    1.851024] usb 1-1.3: Manufacturer:  Sigmatel Inc

I'm missing the device id, so I think the driver is not loaded, so I editied (in correct way) the /flash/config.txt:

.
.
[all]
include distroconfig.txt

dt_overlay=gpio-ir

But ir-keytable still says:

/sys/class/rc/: No such file or directory

According to this post I've tried to edit udev rules (usr/lib/udev/rules.d/98-eventlircd.rules), but can't edit it. What do I have to mount for that?

From here on I'm struggling to get the device running.

My question:

1. Is it possible to use any recognised USB IR-Dongle (like the mentioned above) ?

2. How to use a simple IR Receiver (like TSOP 1238) There are many HowTo's but it seems that Libreelec is a little bit special ?

Thanks for your attention
