So, I’ve got my Pi2 with the latest OSMC (just installed using the windows osmc installer to sd card) and I hooked up an RC6 clone remote from Rosewill (model RHRC-11001).
It seems to recognize, and on default osmc-remote-lircd config, seems to actually work with the very basic buttons.
Of course, if I go to rc6-mce-lircd it seems to probably have more functionality. But then it gets into double-pressing. Now, I’ve seen another discussion that had this…
And that seemed to work when I did a rmmod ir_rc6_decoder - I was able to use the standard rc6 profile or the lircd-full profile without double-presses.
That thread did mention that the rc6 profile was deprecated, so I am trying lircd-full.
Looking at that thread’s instructions, I tried inserting the rmmod command into /etc/rc.local - and when I reboot, the system says something along the lines of Failed to start rc.local Compatibility and asks that I check the service status with systemctl status rc-local.service. Of course, that’s no help at all.
If I manually do /etc/rc.local start, as long as the command in there is sudo rmmod…etc… then I can do it each time - but it doesn’t seem like I should need to do that.
I’ve tried sudo chmod +x /etc/rc.local and that applied but no change still failed to load.
Applied all updates to OSMC under My OSMC Updates,
What am I missing?
Is there a better way to get this remote working without killing that module every startup? Is there a better way to kill that module every startup?
Yeah, sadly tried it, doesn’t seem to change things.
I added it by going to modprobe.d and adding a blacklist-rc6.conf file like another site suggested about blacklist-xyz.conf - added the line:
blacklist ir_rc6_decoder
and left a newline afterwards, and saved.
Unfortunately, update-initramfs doesn’t exist in OSMC that I can tell, and after reboot, the ir_rc6_decoder module loads still.
EDIT: I fixed it by adding the install ir_rc6_decoder /bin/true line.
