Thanks for the update!

There's nothing obvious in the logs. You seem to be using a Hifiberry DAC, in which case the clocks are generated by the RPi. Therefore my best guess now is the RPi kernel PCM clock patch in combination with the way mpd uses alsa.

In order to track down the issue I'll need to be able to reproduce this locally, so I'll need some more information and detailed step how to reproduce this:

set log_level=verbose in mpd.conf, reboot the RPi, then try to trigger the issue.

After that post the mpd log, output of "journalctl -a | paste" and your config.txt and mpd.conf files.

It could be related to the file played (or the file played immediately before that), so having the "mediainfo" output of these files would also help.

FYI: the patch is also in the latest Milhouse testbuilds for RPi/RPi2:

LibreELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi (Kodi 18.0)

Here's a build for RPi2 so you don't have to compile yourself:

Adding the alsa card conf with the correct card name (IQAudIODigi) is enough to make passthrough working in LE.

Could you test if this tree works: GitHub - HiassofT/LibreELEC.tv at le8-iqaudio-passthru

The last commit RPi,RPi2: add alsa card conf for IQAudIODigi to enable passthrough · HiassofT/LibreELEC.tv@ae9ce1c · GitHub should do it.

Please report back if this works, I don't have this card and can't test myself.

Hias

Yes, you can do this before updating.

Disable Lirc in LibreELEC settings.

BTW This is also mentioned in the 8.1.1 release notes LibreELEC (Krypton) v8.1.1 BETA – LibreELEC

so long,

Hias

LE 8.1.1 ships with kernel 4.9.43 and the commit is included there.

smp could you test if it works with LE 8.1.1 beta?

Hias

In LE 8.1/8.2 you can configure the lircd device and driver via /storage/.config/lirc_options.conf like in standard linux distributions - just copy over the default file from /etc/lirc/ and edit.

Better do it this way and remove all other custom systemd and/or autostart changes to make the config future-proof.

Please don't double-post in different threads. See my answer here:

Quote from castaway

can someone help me get my XBOX ONE remote working? using raspberry pi with IR on GPIO.

on 8.0.1 it was working perfectly

i attached all my config files whish was working on 8.0.1 but stopped working on 8.1.0.

BTW i switched on/off (everytime reboot) lirc in settings but no luck.

First remove this block from autostart.sh:

killall lircd
ir-keytable -p lirc
lircd --device=/dev/lirc0 /storage/.config/lircd.conf

Then enable lirc in LE settings, this wil automatically pick up your lircd.conf file.

You also have to change your Lircmap.xml, the remote device has to be set to "devinput" instead of "XBOX-ONE".

Instead of using the "lirc-rpi" dtoverlay plus your lircd.conf file you can also use the "gpio-ir" dtoverlay and disable Lirc in LE settings. This should support the Xbox one remote out of the box, some of the KEY names seem to be different to the ones from your lircd.conf file though (see /usr/lib/udev/rc_keymaps/xbox_one) so you'll need to adapt your Lircmap.xml

so long,

Hias

You are probably still using the lirc-rpi dtoverlay. You need to use "dtoverlay=gpio-ir" instead.

The position of the IR receiver can certainly have an impact, you can try rotating/moving your RPi - ideally the receiver should point directly to you.

Use of Hifiberry should be harmless, I'm using a GPIO receiver myself with the Cirrus logic audio card.

Since you mentioned streaming from NAS the linked issue immediatly came to my mind. Simply speaking: transferring data via USB can mess with GPIO IR receivers. And on RPi the (wired) ethernet chip is connected via USB.

While personally I haven't experienced that issue yet (but I mainly play from local USB HDD, sometimes stream from the internet) it's not unthinkable that you are hit by it.

so long,

Hias

Could you give 8.1.0 beta a try? KEY_OK should work there, but make sure Lirc is disabled in LibreELEC settings.

There was a bug reported of KEY_OK not working in 8.0.x, eventlircd somehow didn't seem to pick up the remote events as it should. I couldn't reproduce it myself but we got reports that it works in 8.1.0

There's a typo in config.txt:

dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin4

you need to have a "=" between gpio_pin and 4. Also triple-check you are really using GPIO 4, which is pin 7 on the GPIO header.

so long,

Hias

First check with "mode2" that your IR receiver is hooked up correctly and the GPIO pin setting in config.txt is correct. You should get a bunch of "pulse" and "space" messages when you press a button on your remote.

I'm currently writing a new guide on IR remotes in LibreELEC, until that's finished here are some additional hints and pointers.

Instead of "dtoverlay=lirc-rpi" better use "dtoverlay=gpio-ir". To configure the latter for GPIO 4 add this line to config.txt:

dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=4

With gpio-ir you can use the new (and IMO easier to use) "ir-keytable" method to configure remotes and don't need to enable lirc.

Have a look at this thread for detailled infos on how to setup a custom configuration using ir-keytable:

Hi, I'm a little confused now. For me before everything was fine (no repetitions) but now the key presses are repeated sometimes (Logs). I have new batteries in my remote and I really only pressed once It seems like it occurs more often when I watch a file from my NAS then when I watch it from a USB Stick, but maybe this is just arbitrary.

Quite certainly you are hit by this issue: lirc_rpi is sensitive to interrupt latency · Issue #906 · raspberrypi/linux · GitHub

Unfortunately there's not much we can do about that, it's a general problem of the RPi and how USB and GPIO remotes are handled.

As an alternative you can use a USB IR receiver, eg one integrated into a USB DVB receiver:

Similar issue with double press with 8.1 generic with harmony remote upgraded from 8.0.2. Lirc is not listed under my services. Is there a file I can edit to disable lirc?

Scroll down to the end of services, the option should be there always (in 8.0 the option was only shown if an IR receiver was detected).

You can also manually disable lirc via

cd /storage/.cache/services/
mv lircd.conf lircd.disabled

and then reboot.

Another thing I noticed is that my IR remote stops working for about a minute after I switch my HDMI output cables. Not a big deal, but maybe it is helpful to know.

Have you double-checked the batteries in the remote aren't flat?

Other than that: output of

journalctl -a | paste

after this has happened could be useful.

Also check with "mode2" if the IR receiver is getting any signals.
