Are you using a TSOP?

Ok I will upload a log soon

I am using a vanilla Xbox DVD dongle rewired to USB plug with harmony 650 remote control. It worked until I pressed update. After update rpi3 booted, then sad face (I don’t know why but it always seems to happen after an update) then it rebooted automatically and remote wasn’t working.

Tried rebooting again
Then tried to reselected Xbox DVD from osmc settings. Still not working.

Rebooted again. Not working.

I am using a mouse for now

What is tsop?

How are you getting signals from the remote?

USB Xbox dongle

Here’s a log https://paste.osmc.tv/bokixekono

I cannot see anything except the log date in that - how did you create it?

Check if dmesg shows Xbox module being loaded (lirc_xbox).

I updated this driver in 4.14:

Unfortunately it’s not maintained upstream and I don’t have a dongle to test with. A GPIO based TSOP may also work for you.

turned on debug then rebooted then upload via osmc utility

here’s the file on pastebin

https://pastebin.com/MzxwxgQ0

dmesg log is empty
not sure how to look for that

quick update

i’ll try to restart with a fresh install and see how it goes

Same issue here, oh the woes of deciding to update lol

OG XBOX DVD remote and dongle

My dmesg:

ok so a fresh install of january version restored remote. reupdated to february and remote is broken again

so definitely a problem with february update

and also noticed that i don’t have ssh access either

I’ll send you $25 if you think that’s enough to obtain a dongle/remote and an xbox to USB adapter. Well worth keeping my remote working haha

Just upgrade your PuTTY install

i will try that!

thank you k0usi it worked for putty

here is my dsmeg

(dsmeg osmc - Pastebin.com)

i have found this line

and it is about the same in k0usi’s log

I have the same issue, using a Harmony 950 but my context menu buttons do nothing, normal buttons, play pause etc work ok

When you say it’s the ‘same issue’. Are you using an Xbox dongle?
If not – then the issue is not the same
