USB IR reciever, Lircmap, samsung/onkyo remote problems - SOLVED

Help and Support
1

I just started playing with RC OSMC but running in to issues trying to get lirc set up. I can get my MCE remote to work but trying to get my amp remote working which I had set up on my old xbmc setup by programming as a samsung remote and using required remote files and mappings but just not sure where all the necessary files need to go. anyone got any tips?

ok so I got this to work by looking around some other threads that have come up in the last few days

Raspberry Pi LIRC instructions
set onkyo remote to MCE remote code using code 30522 (hold game/other and display and then enter code)

I used the following instructions to record the ones i needed so if you have different remote then you can try and record your own but the keynames should help you.

sudo systemctl stop lircd_helper@lirc0
Once that is stopped you can use irrecord - but you must specify the correct device node as the default is incorrect:

irrecord -d /dev/lirc0 /home/osmc/lircd.conf
Once you’re finished you can start lircd again:

sudo systemctl start lircd_helper@lirc0

this is the lircd.conf file
