Minix U1 Remote Issues

Hi All,

Ok I’ve successfully installed Coreelec Legacy on an old Minix U1. The keyboard bluetooth remote works but the IR remote does not. I’ve spent all morning reading posts and guides. I came across this post from 2018:

Second post mentions just need to run:

echo “meson-ir * minix_neo” > /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg

I’ve tried that and it makes no difference, but I am assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that I first need a remote.conf file called minix_neo? Is that what the above is trying to look for?

I’ve gone into the remote database (GitHub - CoreELEC/remotes: Repository for AmRemote & Meson IR Remote Controllers) and cannot find minix_neo in either the AmRemote or MesonIR folders.

I did manage to find four Minix devices in the AmRemote folder. They aren’t the U1 but the remotes look the same. I downloaded all four to a USB and used file transfer to move them one by one into the /storage/.config/ folder, rebooting inbetween, but none made any difference.

Can someone point me in the right direction? Has anyone got the remote working with a Minix U1?

The reason I need IR is the device is so far away from the viewing room the bluetooth does not connect so I use a Harmony Elite.

May be useful

or remote.conf down the page

Good luck Baz

Thanks Baz, unfortunately I had seen a lot of those posts and the .conf files were either no longer there or did not work. However someone on the Minix forum still had a copy of the remote.conf file. So I’ve got what I needed, working fine and I’ve added it to the repository in case it helps someone in the future.
