Remote Mappings not working (kinda solved)

Help and Support
1

Hi, I recently switched from LibreELEC to OSMC, because it has more freedom. Under LibreELEC my remote was working fine, but under OSMC I have a little problem. Under \OSMC\osmc.kodi\userdata\keymaps I pasted in my remote.xml and under \OSMC\osmc.kodi\userdata I pasted my old Lircmap.xml. I am using a Xbox One remote, so instead of using my lircd.conf (I could not find the path were it should be) I just installed the Xbox One remote directly in OSMC. I also added dtoverlay=lirc-rpi to my config.txt. The remote works, but the keymappings do not work. I tried the keymap editor addon, too, but no success even after restart. What am I doing wrong?

Select the Xbox One remote under My OSMC -> Remotes should do the trick.

Thanks for the fast reply :slight_smile: I have done this already (and again 1 minute ago), the remote is working, but the mappings are the problem.

The easiest way to edit keymaps is using Keymap Editor.

I’m not familiar with LE/OE’s remote pathway now, as they made a few changes in their latest release that seem to deprecate LIRC to an extent where using ir-keytable is considered more favourable.

The problem is that the keymap editor does not work either :confused: I have the files uploaded that have probably been created by the addon. Could you take a look?

I’m not sure – we’ve never tested the Xbox One remote, it was submitted by a user. It’s possible you need to run irrecord to record the buttons properly. This would be a better approach than editing XML files.

Ok I understand what you mean, but where is the remote saved? Under LibreELEC there is lircd.conf, how is it called under OSMC? And will remote.xml and Lircmap.xml work?

You can record any configuration and select it from My OSMC.

Ok, it seems like Lircmap is not working, I went to myosmc -> remote -> browse and took my lircd.conf, and activated myosmc -> hardware -> enable lirc. I put remote.xml under \OSMC\osmc.kodi\userdata\keymaps and did not use lircmap.xml then everything was fine. If someone wants to do this I would try to avoid lircmap.xml I had problems with it.
My working lircd.conf:

Restore all the files you’ve changed to what they were; then try again.

Hi, I tried it like you said with Lircmap.xml in \OSMC\osmc.kodi\userdata, but the key mappings did not work. I will just leave it without Lircmap.xml, after changing my lircd.conf and remote.xml I have everything I need, thanks for your time :slight_smile: I really like OSMC and the freedom it brings to the user :slight_smile:

Since the last 10 posts of you I wonder if you just write the folder wrong in the post or you actually putting the file in the wrong folder? The folder for userdata on OSMC is /home/osmc/.kodi/userdata

13

I think it should be the right folder, I copied the path from Windows (I pasted the Lircmap.xml it into the folder with Samba). The path has already been there and my working remote.xml is in there, too (in keymaps).

14

If you are using \ in the file name, that is incorrect for linux. You can’t copy the path from Windows (Not only is the \ incorrect, so is the location)
