Create a /storage/.config/kodi.conf file with the following line
Code
LIRC_SOCKET_PATH=/var/run/lirc/lircd.irtrans
so long,
Hias

And now it works. Thank you very much!

Okay, I've successfully copied the OE irserver file from an older working OE image I've found. I've copied it as irserver64 (irserver through the same error as the official IRtrans version) into ~/.config/irtrans/. The ir server seems to be working fine:

/storage/.config/autostart.sh looks like this:

Code

echo 1 > /sys/module/bluetooth/parameters/disable_ertm
) &
nohup script.sh &


/storage/.config/irtrans/irserver64 -logfile /var/log/irserver.log -pidfile /var/run/irserver.pid -daemon /dev/ttyUSB0

Is this correct? Now I have the socket described in the post upon reboot.

Code

HTPC:/run/lirc # ls
lircd          lircd.irtrans  lircd.socket

Now to the next problem with the old manual.

Display Spoiler

Instruct Kodi to listen on the alternate LIRC socket (/run/lirc/lircd.itrans) by changing the Kodi command-line parameter with which it is launched.

To do this, copy /usr/lib/kodi/kodi-config to /storage/.config/. Edit /storage/.config/kodi-config and replace the line reading KODI_ARGS="--lircdev /run/lirc/lircd" with the following

Code

if [ -e /run/lirc/lircd.irtrans ]; then
KODI_ARGS="--lircdev /run/lirc/lircd.irtrans"
else
KODI_ARGS="--lircdev /run/lirc/lircd"
fi

This way, Kodi will only listen to /run/lirc/lircd.irtrans if it exists (and fallback to /run/lirc/lircd otherwise). Make sure to make /storage/.config/kodi-config executable (chmod +x kodi-config).

Now copy /usr/lib/systemd/system/kodi.service to /storage/.config/system.d/kodi.service. Modify /storage/.config/system.d/kodi.service and change the line ExecStartPre=-/usr/lib/kodi/kodi-config to ExecStartPre=-/storage/.config/kodi-config. This will instruct LibreElec to launch your custom kodi-config instead of the default one.

or

Instead, of the "kodi-config" step from my previous post above, you now need to modify /storage/.config/system.d/kodi.service and add the following line:

Environment="LIRC_SOCKET_PATH=/var/run/lirc/lircd.irtrans"

Add this as the first line in the [Service] domain of kodi.service.

Neither /storage/.config/kodi-config nor /storage/.config/system.d/kodi.service exist in the build of RR. I have a

Code

/.config/system.d/kodi.service.wants # ls
service.rr-config-tool.service

In which location is the config file located, where the change of lirc socket needs to made?

Most likely you have to use irserver64 on a 64 bit system.

Thank you so much, now the server starts. I missed the forest for the trees. And I even see button presses.

However, I don't have a lircd.itrans file.

Code

HTPC:/run/lirc # ls
lircd         lircd.socket

Is this one of the files I would need from Openeelec?

Thank you for your help.

Quote from ghtester

This is wrong. If you try to run it inside the folder, you have to enter ./irserver
That's why I put the example with absolute path which must work ( /storage/.config/irtrans/irserver )
Otherwise you have an issue with SSH client or a filesystem issue.
The source codes needs to be compiled. The better option should be to get the necessary files from OpenELEC package.

Afair, when I use the full command, the result is the same (The machine is currently in use with an older Linux image. When I have the time to put the LE image back on, I will confirm this).

I tried to obtain the OE files. The newest image from the website seems to be faulty (It installs, but upon reboot I get a "OS missing" message. I tried it multiple times with the same result) and I can't find an older version. Is there some server where these files are downloadable?

Thank you for your help.

Code

HTPC:~/.config # cd /tmp
HTPC:/tmp # tar -xf irserver.tar.gz
HTPC:/tmp # sed -i 's+/usr/local/+/storage/.config/+g' install.sh
HTPC:/tmp # ./install.sh
IRTrans Software installed in /storage/.config/irtrans

After a reboot

Code

HTPC:~ # /storage/.config/irtrans/irserver -loglevel 4 -debug_code /dev/ttyUSB0
-sh: /storage/.config/irtrans/irserver: not found

I can see the folder and the file, it just doesn't work

Code

HTPC:~/.config/irtrans # ls
ip_assign    irclient     irserver     remotes
ip_assign64  irclient64   irserver64
HTPC:~/.config/irtrans # chmod +x irserver
HTPC:~/.config/irtrans # irserver -loglevel 4 -debug_code /dev/ttyUSB0
-sh: irserver: not found
HTPC:~/.config/irtrans #

The folder /run/lirc/lircd.itrans doesn't exist, but I guess it's because the irserver doesn't get of the ground.

If I follow the post past this I encounter other issues:

-The file the post points to (irserver-src.tar.gz), doesn't contain the server executable and install script, so I used the package you suggested.

Looking at the logs this is what I can see. Is the RT232RL your ir receiver?

After researching it: Yes, the RT232RL is the ir receiver built into my case.

Is there any way I could help to give more info? Can I use the drivers from the previous Linux install to fix this (I have backups of both LE and Lubuntu)?

Bobsofa

Hello,

I've recently switched from Lubuntu to LibreELEC-RR 10 Generic.x86_64 and everything besides the remote control works.

My system:

Case: Originae S16V with integrated VF210 VFD and IR sensor from Irtrans

CPU: i5-4440

MB: ASUS B85M-G [C2]

RAM: 4GB DDR3

GPU: GTX 1050

TV card: Digital Devices cineS2 V7A

The system has been running with multiple OSs (Win 7, Linux) and the remote worked every time (Linux took a while to set up, but it worked fine for years).

I've tried this thread but the setup doesn't work (some aspects don't make sense with the current LE version, as some files/code lines aren't there) and the irtrans server doesn't seem to load the driver (logs).

I've tried the built-in solution, but every single keytable has the error "No devices found", as has the ir-keytable by itself. lsusb finds the module.

but no approach has worked so far. What am I doing wrong? My Linux experience is limited and I've run out of ideas . It would be a shame to abandon the build after everything else is working as expected .

Thank you for your help.
