I just got m Vero 4k, and was using a NUC running LibreELEC before. For many years I’ve been using a MCE remote. A couple of month ago, something happened to the remote.
It was still sending signals to the receiver, but the signals was not what the used to be, and the result was that the remote didn’t work as it should (it didn’t work at all).
I then got some help, to reconfigure how LibreELEC should act on these signals, and I could easy just add a file in /storage/.config/rc_keymaps called my-mce, and after that the remote works as it should.
Now when I’m using OSMC on the Vero 4K, and I like the new remote, but still would like to be able to use the old one to, I wonder if I could add a rc_keymap in the same way?
I got lost directly when there’s no .config folder like in LibreELEC, and I hope that I can get some more help.
Here’s the thread from LibreELEC if you want to know what I’m talking about.
Is this a custom keymap you’re hoping to use or is it a standard mapping (i.e. did you make any changes). Can you take a snap of the remote?
They’re probably using ir-keytable to map the remote.
If you provide us with some more information there’s likely an LIRC or eventlircd mapping suitable for you. I’ll also check with some LE chaps about their remote stack, but this might take a bit of time.
Well, the remote is the same as the one called rc6 or mce6 in OSMC, where we can see a lot of different remotes we can enable. I’ve “never” had any problem getting it to work kind of out of the box in LibreELEC. I’ve only done some minor changes on how the buttons should work in Kodi, but the “communication” between the remote the receiver has always worked.
Until something broke in my remote. After that, the “language” wasn’t the same, and what I then did is described in that link I posted in the first post.
That looks like a standard ir-keytable map to me.
You’d need to enable the RC6 decoder via My OSMC, and then run ir-keytable on startup (perhaps rc.local) and use that keymap.
Indeed. As explained, your remote appears to send RC6 codes.
If you invoke ir-keytable, you can tell OSMC’s kernel to interpret the same keymap you were using on LibreELEC.
