Hi
Thank you for the prompt answer. It is very weird then, it should be an incompatibility issue with my hardware.
Any idea how to fix it? (At least to start to investigate?)
Thanks

Hi
I just would like to report an issue which exists as well with Ubuntu and Openelec, with the hope that you can fix it in a future release of LibreElec.
My HP USB MCE IR Receiver is not working on my new HTPC motherboard (ASRock N3050B itx) under LibreElec (7.0.2 x86_64 in my case), but is still working with other PCs.
The device is working fine: I can see it with ir-keytable and lsusb, when I press a button the red led lights-on but there is no event received while listening with irw
This issue is known and is due to a bug with USB3.0 (xHCI) hardware (even if the USB device is connected to an USB2 port). The bug correction is here, but doesn't seem to be implemented yet in the official driver.

Could you please take in into account for the next release?
This issue is really anoying, and I believe that many people should have it as this IR receiver is a very popular one.
I am now using a keyboard in addition of my Harmony until you provide a fix (unfortunatly I cannot disable USB3 in my BIOS) !

Thank you.
Cheers
Seb
