But why working with lirc? Find the protocol of your remote and use ir-keytable -t, or do it in once as described in the wiki:

"Then, for each of the protocols (except lirc, which isn't a real protocol) run ir-keytable -p PROTOCOL -t, then press some buttons on your remote.

If you discovered the correct protocol you should see EV_MSC events together with the scancode of the button. eg:

LibreELEC:~ # ir-keytable -p rc-5 -t
Protocols changed to rc-5
Testing events. Please, press CTRL-C to abort.
1503592437.660155: event type EV_MSC(0x04): scancode = 0x101a
1503592437.660155: event type EV_SYN(0x00).
1503592437.774129: event type EV_MSC(0x04): scancode = 0x101a
1503592437.774129: event type EV_SYN(0x00).
1503592437.921009: event type EV_MSC(0x04): scancode = 0x101a

If you see no events stop ir-keytable with CTRL-C and try the next protocol from the list."

And create your own remote. Maybe you there is already a configuration for your remote, check in teh amlogic subforum:

LE9.0 remote configs ir-keytable Amlogic devices

If you find it, don't forget to change the rc_maps.cfg and replace the meson-ir with a *

Read the wiki! You have to kill kodi and lircd first before using irrecord. It's all in the wiki.

Same problem on 8.95.2 image, but now it gives a error message: the joystick addons are required, but they are listed as not available.

I tryed also mr boom, there retroplayer works, but gives a black screen. When I call the menu with pressing C button on keyboard, the retroplayer menu pops up and I see in the background the start screen of Mr.Boom. When the retroplayer menu goes away, the screen turns black again.

Maybe also interesting is the crash log:

I must say I could install older versions of the emulator cores. I tried them one after one and I think the 3th one would install with all the emulator cores.

Second try:

IR should work well with very latest update. I'm not sure when I created tritium image, before or after update. Just make sure that you follow LibreELEC Infrared Remote tutorial.

Seems it was a typo in my remote.conf. It's a very good libreelec you build for us, it's the most responsive libreelec I have (I have also AML S905x en S812). Especially the network is fast, seems a mainlined kernel really pays off! Thanks a lot for this, it was worth the wait.

CvH,

The link to the log i created:

I could install the emulator cores when I used some older packages.

Do you need the crash log also?

Just to inform that retroplayer is not working on the wetek core. When I want to load roms, kodi crashes. When I go to the libreelec addon installer and want to install a core manually (I tested snes and nes cores) it says the installation failed. Libretro installs without a problem.

I tested yesterday evening the libretech ALL-H3-CC image in a hurry. First thing I noticed is that I couldn't configure my remote. Didn't check further what could be the problem as I didn't have a lot of time. I will come back about this later.

Nothing else tested, expect I can tell you the sound comming out of this board is a lot loader then from my KVIM. My amplifier was set on the KVIM but I had to turn it down for the Tritium H3, so good points for that.

Quote from lumpi

what board would you recommend? A64 or H3? are orange Pis to recommend or is the missing HDMI ESD protection a show stopper for a TV Box? unfortunately the beelink X2 is no more available. maybe friendlyelec or ALL-H3-CC (Tritium)?

lumpi,

I should recommend the ALL-H3-CC, Libretech invest in mainline for Allwineer, Amlogic and probably also rockchip + most of their boards fit a raspberry pi case, so a lot of choices of cases. Probably, the kodi/flirc case should fit also (I didn't try it so don't blame me if it doesn't).

Somebody knows if one of the orange pi images should work on a Libre Tritium H3 board?

With the latest version the remote is working again the old fashion way. Just place the remote.conf of your remote in the configuration map as it was with libreelec 8.

Are there plans to implement meson-ir in the 3.10 kernel? Or should I open a thread on the wetek forum for these kind of things?

Same problem, even worse. Now Libreelec says that libretro compatibility is not compatible with this version of libreelec.

Just to tell that in the Libreelec 8.90.006 Retroplayer lets Kodi crash when you want to play a game. So if you select a rom (in my case snes or nes) kodi restarts. In the previous alpha build 8.90.005 everything worked fine.

HiassofT,

just tried it with libreelec 8. The IR-remote works like a charm with my remote.conf.

I know you changed to meson-ir. it's why you need to do the ir-keytable stuff. Previous with amremote it was just copying your remote.conf into /storage/.config.

See my dmesg from LE8 on the core in attachement as proof:dmesg.txt

Strange,

I already used it with libreelec and a IR-remote. I never used the rf-remote as it is not a good match with kodi.

I will check that again with a older version of libreelec.

CvH,

problem is this:

/sys/class/rc/: No such file or directory

No devices found

What means no ir-receiver is found. If it doesn't find a IR receiver I can't continue with the wiki-page. I already have all files cause I already did it for my Khadas VIM.

Normally when a IR receiver is found the meson-ir module should be loaded.

Probably it does have something to do with the kernel as Balbes150 doesn't get the IR working also on his S812 builds (although I don't know the current status of it).
