Hello,

I'm trying to write a little script for playing songs by scanning an RFID card on LibreELEC. I use a

The RFID reader gets recognized, loaded and provides a valid libinput device node called

Code

/dev/input/by-id/usb-HXGCoLtd_27db-event-kbd

Trying to dump input events does not show anything when scanning an RFID card,

Code

cat /dev/input/by-id/usb-HXGCoLtd_27db-event-kbd | hexdump

while the input seems to work correctly, because Kodi GUI changes to another place and plays the according navigation sound. My Questions:

Is there any possibility to get valid input events from /dev/input/by-id/usb-HXGCoLtd_27db-event-kbd for shell script usage?
Would it be also possible still getting these events while disabling input for the Kodi GUI (changing menus or playback position)?

It is working on OSMC, but I would like to change to LibreELEC... Unfortunately this has to work to do so...
