I’ve been trying to configure LIRC for a remote which isn’t in the list of pre-configured remotes.
I’ve created lircd.conf, and successfully added it to the list and selected it for use.
I have also created a keyboard.xml, a remote.xml, and an lircmap.xml:
/home/osmc/.kodi/userdata/Lircmap.xml
/home/osmc/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/keyboard.xml
/home/osmc/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml
I’m using a Pi1A for testing, but I haven’t updated it for a while (so as to have a stable basis for comparison)
I note that only certain keys get properly actioned, as if my special files aren’t there - but the kodi log error messages suggests that they are found.
On trying to load selected files to the SD card, I get a file which contains messages suggesting that the keyboard.xml and remote.xml are not found - so perhaps there is something I don’t understand about the location requirements.
Could I have an informed comment, please, as I don’t know whether the manual has been re-written (but not documented) or what.
