Minix U1 Remote Issues

Help & Support Remote Controllers
1

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.

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.
