Hi.
I have been using OSMC on my Raspberry Pi 3 for some weeks and are very happy with it, and everything works fine.
But I found this old Niveus RF remote which I got about 10-15 years ago. I used it on Windows XP, where it works fine.
I have tried to see if it’s possible to use this with OSMC, but no luck so far.
When I connect the reciever to the USB port on the Raspberry Pi and run the ir-keytable command I get this:
Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event2) with:
Driver ati_remote, table rc-ati-x10
Supported protocols: other
Enabled protocols:
Name: X10 Wireless Technology Inc USB
bus: 3, vendor/product: 0bc7:0005, version: 0x0100
Repeat delay = 500 ms, repeat period = 125 ms
And when I check /proc/bus/input/devices I get this:
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=0bc7 Product=0005 Version=0100
N: Name="X10 Wireless Technology Inc USB Receiver"
P: Phys=usb-3f980000.usb-1.2/input0

Since the ir-keytable refer to ati remote, I tried to select the ATI driver from MyOSMC and then reboot. But it doesn’t work.
I came across this post: https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/howto-reassigning-keypresses-for-mele-f10-and-probably-other-rf-remotes/7952
And tried to install the hid_mapper tool and tried to run it, entering the manufacturer and product id I got from /proc/bus/input/devices but it doesn’t seem to recognize any key when I push buttons on the remote.
I have also confirmed that the remote is still working, as I still have Windows XP on one of the computers I used the remote on earlier. And the remote works fine when connected to this computer. But on Windows XP it’s necessary to install the software which was included on a CD together with the remote.
Anyone know if it’s possible to get this remote to work on OSMC?
