Forums are filled with “Runs out of the box”.
So I bought a Hama MCE Remote Control bundled with an Ortek IR Receiver.
The USB-receiver is recognized on my Pi2, see below, but thats about it.
No further reaction whatsoever. Un- and replugged - no change.
My understanding is that once plugged in, the remote should be attached as keyboard and a mouse.
My question now: Am I misunderstanding something here? Lirc not necessairy, right? Modprobe? Kernelmodule? Is there any way to test the remote itself?
