OSMC remote with Ubuntu 20.10

[sunk]

I am setting up a new machine with my OSMC remote and have some issues with the remote being correctly detected.

To install, I have grabbed the latest AMD64 packages and followed the advice in the following thread:

OSMC remote mapping on KodiBuntu

Run the following commands: wget http://ftp.fau.de/osmc/osmc/apt/pool/main/a/amd64-remote-osmc/amd64-remote-osmc_1.2.1_amd64.deb wget http://ftp.fau.de/osmc/osmc/apt/pool/main/a/amd64-lirc-osmc/amd64-lirc-osmc_0.9.0-5_amd64.deb wget http://ftp.fau.de/osmc/osmc/apt/pool/main/a/armv6l-eventlircd-osmc/armv6l-eventlircd-osmc_1.2.0_armhf.deb Then run: sudo dpkg -i amd64-*.deb sudo apt-get -f install Now the remote should function normally. However I note that you wish to change keys. You can do t…

The packages seem to install as expected and eventlircd is running. On my old machine, when plugging the remote I see the following in dmesg:

You can see at the end that eventlircd creates virtual input devices. On the new machine, this doesn’t happen:

I then test the remote with irw and get junk output. It feels like eventlircd is failing to do its job.

Do you have any pointers on what I could try get it seen correctly?

[darwindesign]

In OSMC we have moved away from using lircd with those remotes in order to gain long-press. If you remove those packages you should have most of the buttons working. Which buttons don’t work and what language are you using?

[sunk]

I have the original first edition remote (for now, considering the new one). The arrow keys work and OK key. Home and back seems to work too. Info, list, stop, ff, rw are all broken from what I can tell.

On my old machine I had the following customkeys.xml:

<keymap>
 <visualisation>
  <keyboard>
   <key id="166">volumeup</key>
   <key id="167">volumedown</key>
   <key id="168">skipnext</key>
   <key id="169">skipprevious</key>
   <key id="11">playpause</key>
  </keyboard>
 </visualisation>
 <fullscreenvideo>
  <keyboard>
   <key id="166">volumeup</key>
   <key id="167">volumedown</key>
  </keyboard>
 </fullscreenvideo>
</keymap>

But that doesn’t seem to be helping here.

[darwindesign]

Try making a file at /etc/udev/hwdb.d/osmcrf.hwdb with the following content…

evdev:input:b0003v2252p1037*
 KEYBOARD_KEY_7004a=esc
 KEYBOARD_KEY_c0060=i
 KEYBOARD_KEY_10084=c
 KEYBOARD_KEY_c0226=x
 KEYBOARD_KEY_c00cd=p
 KEYBOARD_KEY_c00b4=volumedown
 KEYBOARD_KEY_c00b3=volumeup

…and then reboot and see if that gets everything going. Please note that the file must NOT be set with an executable permission. Additionally notice that there is a single space before each of the “KEYB…” lines and this is required for this to work. Normally I would have the remap for the last two pointing to mappings for rw/ff but no reason to bother with a keymap here.

[sunk]

That is great! definitely made progress. Thank you.

The only key that seems odd now is the play/pause key. That doesn’t see, to do anything.

I also noticed that the ff/rw keys change the volume, but I can probably work with that.

[darwindesign]

I updated my previous post with a remap for that key. Update that file and let me know if that works. As for the ff/rw keys I remapped to volume as you showed that you were already doing that with a keymap (that and ff/rw does not generally work well in Kodi). You can change to mappings to “rewind” and “fastforward” if you wish.

[sunk]

Thank you.

Gave it a test but no joy. I seem to be experiencing the same issue as described here:

OSMC remote control under other distributions with Kodi

Only the arrow keys, the OK key and the back key works. The others still don’t work I get this symbol when I press the other buttons [symbol] No errors when running the systemd-hwdb command. I have also restarted

It seems that key is perhaps picked up by the OS as that overlay/no entry symbol is not part of Kodi.

I’m going to order a new remote anyway, as I think it will be better with the new dedicated volume keys. Will the new remote need a new hwdb file?

[darwindesign]

I had forgotten about that thread. Did you try using “p” in the hwdb instead of playpause? I still don’t understand why other Debian spinoffs are not acting the same in respect to the multimedia keys as OSMC does. Unfortunately i’m a bit too much of a Linux noob to figure it out. The new model remotes I would expect to need a hwdb as well, although not the same as above. As for the new remote the dedicated volume will be no different than remapping this way with the old remote. I don’t want to discourage a sale, and I have never put my hands on that model of remote, but I don’t believe it is all that different from the current model, at least from the users perspective.

[sam_nazarko]

Might be because he’s using X11

[sunk]

p is better for sure. I can then correct it with a custom keymap which it seemed to need as well:

<keymap>
 <visualisation>
  <keyboard>
   <p>PlayPause</p>
  </keyboard>
 </visualisation>
 <fullscreenvideo>
  <keyboard>
   <p>PlayPause</p>
  </keyboard>
 </fullscreenvideo>
</keymap>

Thanks again for all your help.

[darwindesign]

Your welcome. I’m curious, is there a reason you keymaped that way instead of just doing…

<keymap>
 <global>
  <keyboard>
   <p>PlayPause</p>
  </keyboard>
 </global>
</keymap>

Also note that you can keymap long-press actions now as well.

[sunk]

I didn’t choose global because it seems to be better set as Select in a global context:

 <global>
  <keyboard>
   <p>Select</p>
  </keyboard>
 </global> 

This allows Play/Pause to start a video too.

Ah yes, long press could be interesting to tinker with too.

[darwindesign]

Ah. I guess that would be for something like using it to play from a widget on the home screen without having to map it that way?

Long-press is great but it can be a bit tricky at times. This is what we are using currently in OSMC which you could use as well with a bit of modification to make it match up with your current button layout. More information on it can be found [here].

[sunk]

This is a big help thank you. Great to see how you are using longpress in this keymap, some neat little tricks I will have to copy

[darwindesign]

Just to wrap this thing up I did a bit of testing with Linux Mint and this should be something that will work with all three versions of the OSMC remotes.

Make a file at /etc/udev/hwdb.d/osmcrf.hwdb with the following content…

evdev:input:b0003v2017p1689*
 KEYBOARD_KEY_c0226=x
 KEYBOARD_KEY_c00cd=p
 KEYBOARD_KEY_7002e=volumeup
 KEYBOARD_KEY_7002d=volumedown

evdev:input:b0003v2017p1688*
 KEYBOARD_KEY_7004a=esc
 KEYBOARD_KEY_c0060=i
 KEYBOARD_KEY_10084=c
 KEYBOARD_KEY_c0226=x
 KEYBOARD_KEY_c00cd=p
 KEYBOARD_KEY_7002e=volumeup
 KEYBOARD_KEY_7002d=volumedown

evdev:input:b0003v2252p1037*
 KEYBOARD_KEY_7004a=esc
 KEYBOARD_KEY_c0060=i
 KEYBOARD_KEY_10084=c
 KEYBOARD_KEY_c0226=x
 KEYBOARD_KEY_c00cd=p
 KEYBOARD_KEY_c00b3=f
 KEYBOARD_KEY_c00b4=r

…and then reboot for the remap to take effect. Please note that the file must NOT be set with an executable permission. Additionally, notice that there is a single space before each of the “KEYB…” lines and this is required for this to work.

If there is any Linux experts out there that know why when trying to remap to a keyboard multimedia keys “playpause” and “stop” don’t work and might have a solution then I would happy to hear it.

[sunk]

Just to confirm then, this updated /etc/udev/hwdb.d/osmcrf.hwdb along with the keymap above, should, in theory give full controller support to all remotes.

[darwindesign]

The hwdb file above should make any of the three OSMC remotes that have been released work in any current Debian based x11 distro. It will make it such that the buttons will produce the following key mappings…

(button) = (how Kodi sees it)
Home  = escape
Info  = i
Up    = up
Down  = down
Left  = left
Right = right
OK    = return
Back  = browser_back 
Menu  = c
Play  = p
Stop  = x
Vol-  = volume_down
Vol+  = volume_up
FF    = f
RW    = r

These keys all correspond to things that work with Kodi’s standard keymap. The Kodi keymap I posted above was only written to cover mappings with the native mappings of the remote and the one we are using in OSMC. I will update the keymap to cover this layout as well when I get some time.

[darwindesign]

This keymap with the hwdb above should make any OSMC remote act the same as it does running under OSMC. I checked for syntax errors but didn’t actually test it so feedback is welcome.
