Okay, I eventually figured it out.
First I have to run this (I don't know what it is or why I need to run it .... )
Then I have to create and edit the xiaomibtremote.evmap file
My file looks like this:
I am not sure if this will be my final configuration but it suits my using pattern better than the default configuration.
Hello,
I have Raspberry Pi 3 and Xiaomi Bluetooth remote.
It works fine, but the default keymap does not suit me, how can I change the function of some buttons ?
Thanks for the clarification.
Nope. Read Development Update – LibreELEC
I saw that but did not know how to reconcile it with this statement: "Between now and LibreELEC 10.0 the team will be working to achieve GBM/DRMPRIME feature parity so nobody notices the switch".
If video acceleration stops working surely everyone will notice the switch (?)
"Stop updating" sounds a bit crude, your machine will work, just not with LibreELEC 10+ as it stands right now. Most add-ons should still be available and update-able in a standalone solution upto Kodi 18, but people using shared SQL Kodi video/music libraries will not be happy, all "thanks" to Nvidia's change of direction in video drivers, there is currently no viable successor for its VDPAU driver in LibreELEC/Linux.
One alternative is a cheap Android box type of box, which performs pretty well these days graphics-wise. More and more support is in the pipeline as you already read in the new blog post.
Will Nvidia ION machines still have video acceleration in LE 10 ?
Thanks, this certainly works. But it only wakes the machine once. I need to wake everyday at same time.
If Your PC supports Wake On LAN then maybe Your router is capable to sen WOL command to it...
On OPEN/DD-WRT and similar based routers You can use router to wake up WOL compatible devices...
My router is ISP locked-down but I do have an always-on Rpi with LE on same network so maybe I can send a schedule WOL packet from that. I was hoping not to involve other machines for simplicity/reliability reasons but I guess I can try something like that.
Thanks
Thanks, it was not a link, I just bolded for emphasis. I found reference to it in another thread but I could not discern from the discussion if it was relevant to my query nor how to install/use it. I just thought (from the name of it!) that it might be something relevant.
Hello,
I have LE 8.2.5 running on an x86 machine. It is in suspend mode when not in use (I think S3).
Is it possible to set a wake timer in order to resume from sleep automatically at the same time every day (eg 3am) ?
I found reference to setwakeup.sh but I am not sure if it will suit my purpose nor how to use it.
Thanks
Syncthing does what you want. It runs on LE and Windows and is easy to install an configure.
Thanks for suggestion, I will check it out.
File/folder sync is not exactly what I am looking for, as the files I want to send do not permanently reside on the sending machine.
why not use the ftp server (proftpd)?
scp?
Are there add-ons (or built in functionality) for these protocols? Apologies if question is dumb.
What is a good method to know the public IP address of the LE box at home ? (it changes periodically). I guess I need some kind of DynaDNS type service?
Hi,
Basically I want to send a media file to my LE machine (at home) while I am in another location (eg office). So the file is already there when I come home.
The machine doing the 'send' is a windows machine so whatever solution needs to be compatible. The LE machine receiving the file will be powered on (of course).
I am aware of BTSync so that is one possibility I will look into. But I am not really looking for a 'sync', I just want to push a file.
Are there other solutions ? I don't know anything about SFTP...is that an option ?
thanks for that tried, everything, think its a dud, feels like it has nothing inside of it lol, sending it for a return, i guess ill try again
Did you put batteries into it ?
Display MoreThat is the exact one I currently have shipping in the mail for my ODROID C2.
I will then be able to finalise mapping and also get that exact remote added to the LibreELEC master code.
You will still have to run a simple one line script to install some u.dev rules to get it to work.
I consider these ABS plastic Xiaomi remotes the best one the market.
Design wise, ergonomics, button clickiness, repeat delay responsiveness. Xiaomi have nailed it IMHO for a simple BT remote.
Hi, thanks for info.
Will it ever work out of the box without scripts? I am planning to order a couple but at least one will be for someone else and loading on scripts would be a no-go. I thought the latest beta changelog mentioned support for it.
I have two models of the remote. One uses a CR2032 coin battery and the other uses two AAAs. Both are good, but the CR2032 model is weighted (I actually disassembled it to see) and feels more substantial in the hand, despite being about 5mm thinner. I suspect (but haven't verified) the AAA model is classic Bluetooth, and the CR2032 Bluetooth Low Energy (which would explain the battery differences).
Overall though, they can't be beaten for the price. Clickiness, size, feel and response time are fabulous and far better than what you'd normally expect for a $10 remote. Wrxtasy deserves great credit for getting these working. I bought several about this time last year and held onto them—despite no proper support or ability to use them—because I knew eventually that others would see the quality and want to get them working with LibreELEC.
Thanks for reply.
They are working out of the box now (since latest beta) ?
Have you seen them cheaper than this anywhere?
Decided to do a DIY because the Xiaomi Remote really deserves to get some LibreELEC lovin'
It's the best simple remote I've ever used especially with Android TV on WeTek devices !
Work in Progress - Connect Xiaomi Mi Box BT remotes to LibreELEC devices (click)
Is it a good remote? Good button response, build quality and so forth?
Need more info. How are you powering the Pi? Are you using HDMI-CEC? Does your TV have a HDMI-CEC option 'shutdown devices' ?
Hello,
I was thinking of getting a Fire TV remote (model CV98LM) to pair with RPi via bluetooth. This model:
Does anybody use this remote? It works okay, has good range and response ?
Thanks for any imput
