Hi, I just transferred from OpenELEC to OSMC, and I really enjoy it. I just want to get the apple tv remote (silver) to work with the raspberry pi?
I have a IR GPIO Adapter, and I can ssh into the raspberry pi, but other then that, I don’t really know where to go from here?
I enabled the IR GPIO in the MyOSMC Settings, and that was it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
You need to go to MyOSMC>remotes(remote icon) and select your remote from there. If you don’t have a remote icon then go to updates and update
Do the update through MyOSMC? Or update through the main system?
Didn’t we have this same convo less than 24hrs ago?
[14:25] <>>> Appl3Kork<<<>ActionA the update inside the MyOSMC addon? or
update somewhere else?
[14:25] <@ActionA>inside
[14:25] < Appl3Kork>i'll try that
[14:25] <@ActionA>or by traditional linux methods
[14:25] <@ActionA>same either wayYes ActionA we had the same convo. I couldn’t get it working, so I figured I’d try the forums… I do the update inside of MyOSMC and when i reboot no remote icon is in there?
Try
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Ok the Remote Icon is there now, I selected the remote, and enabled IR in the rpi config, rebooted. Still not getting anything from the remote? Is there something else I was suppose to do?
Yes, learn the remote and submit a copy of your learned conf . The Apple remotes are strange in that different remotes will put out different signals, I assume this is so that more than one ATV can survive in a room without conflicts. Our conf file supplied with OSMC has several but not all possible remote configurations so if it doesn’t work then remote learning will be needed. This is not hard as there are only 7 or so buttons. Assuming there are a finite number of remote possibilities as more conf files are submitted by users and then added to our existing conf file we will eventually have them all covered.
How do I go about making the remote learn the keys, and submitting it to where?
I should really redo this for OSMC but haven’t.
OSMC Forums scroll down to Step 3 of the post. Any path name that contains pi will need to be changed to osmc
If you post the completed conf file to dropbox or http://paste.osmc.io/ with a link here I will see to it that it makes it to the right place and thanks in advance for your contribution
OK so that got it working! can’t thank you enough! Just one problem… The ENTER Key or SELECT Key, I marked them as KEY_SELECT but that didn’t work, then tried KEY_ENTER, and that wouldn’t work either? Is there a certain command I can make that key so that it selects the tab that i highlight in OSMC?
Try KEY_OK not at home to check but that may be the one
Pete
Thanks Pete, but that one doesn’t work either 
^^^^^
KEY_OK is the enter/select key, the other tricky one is KEY_TITLE which is ContextMenu (right click)
Post a link to the completed conf if you would.
You’ll need a reboot after any changes to make them work, KEY_OK is right

end remoteHmm, I followed step 3 and on, and everything seemed to be working. I’ll give it another go.
It was saving it as lircd.conf.conf that’s why I didn’t see it:
