Hi, what to do when my original IR remote stopped working after last update? Thank you
Same with my KII pro. Will switch on OK but after that it doesnât work and wonât shutdown unless I use my rf remote to select shutdown from the menu.
Oh! Spotted it, itâs in the CoreELEC 8.95.6 thread.
echo "meson-ir * mecool" > /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg
Iâm lucky that I have bluetooth remote too, which is working fine, but prefer infra remote due to all the tv buttons, like epg, audio, etc
I followed the instructions belowâŚ
Unzip, then eg
Copy kiii to /storage/.config/rc_keymaps
Copy rc_maps.cfg to /storage/.config
Rebooted the box, but it still doesnât work.
Any advice?
My KIII IR remote worked just fine with the echo command mentioned in release notes.
In one of the other threads somebody mentioned if you have any old files under rc_keymaps the echo command would not work. I donât suppose you have any old files lying around in that directory?
@Martynet those where not the instructions that where given to you.
SSH to your device and enter the following command.
echo "meson-ir * mecool" > /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg
Nothing else is needed, please read the announcements in the future as all of this information is already posted.

Thank you. Will read the release note properly next time.
Hi,
I did exactly what you said, but still no working.
I have kiii pro, I edited rc_maps.cg and it has the line echo âmeson-ir * mecoolâ
The file in .config/rc_keymaps/ has the name mecool also.
When the box is in shutdown, the remote works to start it, but when Coreelec starts, only the tv remote works, via hdmi cableâŚ
What elese should I try?
You donât need any file in rc_keymaps folder so delete it for a start.
Paste output of
ls -l /flash
ls -l /storage/.config
fdtget -t s /flash/dtb.img /meson-remote/ status
fdtget -t s /flash/dtb.img /meson-ir/ status
1- rm /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg
2- echo âmeson-ir * mecoolâ > /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg
3- cp /lib/udev/rc_keymaps/mecool /storage/.config/rc_keymaps/.
4- ir-keytable -a /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg -s rc0
Test now @Martynet
@fc_candido step 3 is unnecessary, you do not have to copy any file.

PS
I find the file dtb.img manually, exists in usb stick, here is the result:
CoreELEC:/var/media/COREELEC # fdtget -t s dtb.img /meson-remote/ status
disabled
CoreELEC:/var/media/COREELEC # fdtget -t s dtb.img /meson-ir/ status
okay
How can I enable it?
You are booting this device from internal? USB stick is not used in this case.
echo "meson-ir * mecool" > /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg
and reboot, should fix your issue.
If not please paste output of
fdtget -t s /dev/dtb /meson-remote/ status
fdtget -t s /dev/dtb /meson-ir/ status
You are perfectly right! It works!
Thank you very much, now I can use the remote as I wanted too.
After reboot I also did what you asked:
output here:
CoreELEC (official): 8.99.2 (S912.arm)
CoreELEC:~ # fdtget -t s /dev/dtb /meson-remote/ status
disabled
CoreELEC:~ # fdtget -t s /dev/dtb /meson-ir/ status
okay
Anyway, I am happy to be part of this full of documentation forum.
Yes that looks normal now, you can use a remote.conf from the KIII Pro Android image and the remote response will be even better.
Maybe this one here will be okay.
Just save the file as /storage/.config/remote.conf and reboot, if it doesnât work remove the file and reboot again.
I did exactly what you said, but, unfortunately it did not worked.
I copied the text from first post in file remote.conf and copied to .config
After deleting remote.conf and reboot, again not working the remote.
I entered again the âmagic formulaâ ( echo âmeson-ir * mecoolâ > /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg) and reboot, but still not working.
again output:
CoreELEC (official): 8.99.2 (S912.arm)
CoreELEC:~ # fdtget -t s /dev/dtb /meson-remote/ status
okay
CoreELEC:~ # fdtget -t s /dev/dtb /meson-ir/ status
okay
What else should I try?
I tried this:
CoreELEC:~ # systemctl stop kodi
CoreELEC:~ # systemctl stop eventlircd
CoreELEC:~ # ir-keytable -t
No devices found
CoreELEC:~ #
You need the right remote.conf, I donât know if that one would work for your device or not and just thought that maybe you could try it,
fdtput -t s /dev/dtb /meson-remote/ status disabled
Should fix your issue, remember to reboot.
Yes, you are right again.
Now it works my remote.
I will try to find a good remote.conf for my kiii pro
Good Morning,
Iâm new of corelec and the forum this is my first message so apologize if Iâm not really good to follow.
Iâve installed the last stable version of corelec on my mecool k3 box all working fine. Just the remote ir not working at all. I tried to follow this convo to build all the right sequence but Iâm lost.
Can I ask a list of procedure I must applicate with the right commands I must to do?
Thanks in advance!
