Yes, I mean selecting the Microsoft Mediacenter Remote profile in the Harmony software.

Hias

The harmony.txt file you attached contains Windows line endings - you need to have the file with unix line endings.

Use Notepad++ on Windows and make sure you save the file with unix line endings or create the file locally on your LE box with nano or vim.

Other than that: better use the standard MCE remote profile, not the MCE keyboard profile - the latter can be a bit tricky to use.

Can you try creating a lircd.conf file from scratch with irrecord?

It looks like the update mode of irrecord didn't quite work as it should.

Please update to LibreELEC 9.0, 8.2.5 is no longer supported.

The logs showed that you also enabled the RPi GPIO IR receiver - better disable that.

This looks odd. Do you have any .config/lircd.conf or .config/rc_maps.cfg files on your box or some ir-keytable commands in autostart.sh and/or enabled one of the optional DVB driver sets?

Also: which LibreELEC version are you using and on which platform (it looks like you are using RPi)?

Please post a full journal output journalctl -a | paste

Use the search function of the forum.

You can improve responsiveness of the remote by either adding ir-ctl -t 30000 to autostart.sh or by enabling the crazycat DVB drivers (the latter will pull also in the IR optimizations from later linux kernels).

You can also tweak the button repeat settings with ir-keytable -D xxx -P yyy - this has been discussed about a million times during the last year.

A fix for the this issue - [Windowing] Build complete strmode for RES_DESKTOP by peak3d · Pull Request #15516 · xbmc/xbmc · GitHub - was recently merged into the Kodi tree. It didn't make it in the Kodi 18.1 timeframe (which will be used in LibreELEC 9.0.1) so it'll appear in Kodi 18.2 in a couple of weeks.

If you don't want to wait you can try the latest Milhouse build LibreELEC Testbuilds for x86_64 (Kodi 18.0)

Store the keymap in /storage/.config/rc_keymaps/my-imon-pad and then create a /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg file with the following content

Yes, you can still use irrecord like before.

Looks like there's a possible fix on the horizon: DisplaySettings: Fix off by 1 iterator start in UpdateCalibrations() by yuri-sevatz · Pull Request #15508 · xbmc/xbmc · GitHub - details are still being discussed, but let's hope a fix will make it into Kodi 18.1

From the logfiles it looks like you created the autostart.sh file with Windows line endings, which causes all sorts of weird errors.

Use nano or vi on your LibreELEC box or Notepad++ on Windows and make sure you save the file with Unix line endings.

Are you using some custom Lircmap.xml and/or remote.xml files?

KEY_MENU (or KEY_CONTEXT_MENU) and KEY_INFO should work out-of-the box.

Some of these cheap air-mouse remotes from Asia seem to generate bogus mouse(-scroll) events. Easiest solution is to disable mouse and touchscreen support in settings->system->input.

As for the other remote: please provide a debug log using the log file upload function in LibreELEC settings and post the URL.

Yes, you need to test this keymap with current Milhouse builds which include the kernel IR fix- or wait for the next LE point release.

Yes, you'll need a keymap. We shipped a zotac keymap with LE8.2 and before (I've attached it) but I'm not 100% sure if it's correct - I don't have that remote to verify it.

New keymap files for 2 Zotac remotes were posted here IR Remote malfunction after upgrade to LE 9.0 but again they are slightly different.

The button count in the attached keymap matches the pictures I found on the net, but it would be good to get some confirmation that the prints on the buttons match the keycodes. KEY_TITLE could be the "T in a square" button, KEY_TEXT may be more appropriate for it, not sure if KEY_POWER (the "1" button?) and KEY_SLEEP ("0" ?) might be swapped.

Once we have confirmation that the keymap is correct we can consider adding it to LE again.

There's already a kodi issue open for this problem, but no solution so far: Video calibration settings changes are lost after Kodi restart · Issue #15165 · xbmc/xbmc · GitHub

LibreELEC 8 and earlier versions (back to the old OpenELEC days) contained an ugly kernel patch to get the Zotac remotes working. This hacky patch was causing issues though and broke on every other kernel update.

So we decided to drop most of the crappy hacks so we could find out if there are actual issues that need fixing and if there are (like with the Zotac remote) then fix them properly - which means communicating with the Linux kernel developers and getting issues fixed in official Linux kernels.

Doing it this way means all Linux users profit from the fixes (eg if you run Ubuntu you'll get the fixes, too) and we don't have to do the tedious work of adapting our own fixes after each kernel update. So it's a win-win situation for all of us.

It looks like Sean (the Linux kernel maintainer for the IR remote stuff) has picked up my Zotac fix and it should appear in official 5.1 kernels syoung/media_tree.git - media_tree.git RC development tree

The fix is also included in current Milhouse testbuilds and of course will be included in the next LE9 update as well.

Try this  .kodi/userdata/Lircmap.xml file (untested)

<lircmap>
    <remote device="devinput">
        <menu>KEY_EPG</menu>
    </remote>
</lircmap>

Or use the keymap editor addon.
