I am very grateful for the support of this spectacular Coreelec team !!! Congratulations!!

If you are successful in creating a working remote, please follow the instruction on how to upload with pictures etc.

sorted out. I managed to configure my RC10 dreambox control with coreelec. Attached pdf with instructions that helped me. Thank you!

Please could you add your remote to the repo using the instructions in this link.

Thanks

I just wanted to make everyone aware that the tools and tutorials used by @ultra_signal are available in the Library section of the repository.

I would like to take the opportunity to stress once more that the repository is a centralized resource solution for remote controller related issues, not only hosting remote configuration files, but also the tools, tutorials and documentation required to create a configuration file.

Any Info which remote.conf works for the X99MAX (S922x) ?

X99 Max:

Did you check the repo? If there isn’t one, then read the instructions on how to create one, also in the repo.
Your remote looks exactly like the one I have for my X96 Max+, I used a X96 mini one, I think

The X92 and X96 both use the same remote. Both are available from the repository both as AmRemote and Meson_IR. Please let me know if it works for the X99 so I can add this information to the repository. Thanks.

Thank you already, but sadly…

Tried all three:

  • AMremote\X96_Air
  • MESEN_IR\X96_Air
  • MESEN_IR\X92

and folled these intructions:
copy X92_remote to /storage/.config/rc_keymaps/
copy rc_maps.cfg to /storage/.config/
copy remote.xml to /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/

Also tried: the Remote.conf from my X96 Max+ (s905x3, same remote).

All 4 are NOT working - any more ideas. ?? :frowning:

Yes create your own from the instructions also in the repo

so, whats the difference between AMremote and Mesen_IR ?

Personally, I haven’t a scoobie.

In general: amremote use the hardware decoder, meson-ir is software decoder.

meson-ir is also in upstream I think, amremote not.

amremote was used before meson-ir was developed (before Kodi Krypton?).

CoreELEC:~ # ir-keytable –t
ir-keytable: Too many arguments
Try `ir-keytable --help' or `ir-keytable --usage' for more information.

That’s weird, since IR-KEYTABLE -? does show me option -T

In the copy-paste there is a wrong dash character. It’s – not a -.

I already noticed this. but I also copy&pasted the argument from the ir-keytable -?

Neither -t nor –t is working

CoreELEC:~ # ir-keytable -t
/sys/class/rc/: No such file or directory
No devices found
CoreELEC:~ # ir-keytable -t
/sys/class/rc/: No such file or directory
No devices found

Tested with MacOS Terminal and iTerm2…

ir-keytable -V. is working fine, and as said, copy and paste of the ‘dash’ doesnt work either / rather a “device” is needed if I understand “-h” correctly:
Usage: ir-keytable [OPTION…] --device [/dev/input/event device]*

you need to stop Kodi and eventlirc before.
Also meson-ir needs to be enabled. So remove any remote.config as meson-ir is than enabled by default.

Cleared everything that has to do with remote files -->
Yes, I did end kodi like the manual (or your link) says: error’s still the same

*s922x:~ # systemctl stop kodi *
*s922x:~ # systemctl stop eventlircd *
s922x:~ # ir-keytable -p NEC,RC-5,RC-6,JVC,SONY -t
/sys/class/rc/: No such file or directory
No devices found
