so, whats the difference between AMremote and Mesen_IR ?
Personally, I havenât 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 ât
ir-keytable: Too many arguments
Try `ir-keytable --help' or `ir-keytable --usage' for more information.
Thatâs weird, since IR-KEYTABLE -? does show me option -T
In the copy-paste there is a wrong dash character. Itâs â not a -.
I already noticed this. but I also copy&pasted the argument from the ir-keytable -?
Neither -t nor ât 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 iTerm2âŚ
ir-keytable -V. is working fine, and as said, copy and paste of the âdashâ doesnt work either / rather a âdeviceâ is needed if I understand â-hâ correctly:
Usage: ir-keytable [OPTIONâŚ] --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: errorâs 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
After deleting all remote-related files I was able to create the config for my remote.
Everything is working fine: I made this zip to be added to the repo!
X96MAX s922x.zip (37.9 KB)
(Now, only the VFD is missing - will post it as well, as soon as I got it to work!)
Thank you very much for your help !

@bubblegum57: New REMOTE CONFIG file for Repo! 
Thanks for this. I am letting Betatester deal with these nowdays. Still suffering the after effects of radiotherapy.

Guy, i have a problem unsolved. I bought a remote like in the post below:
I had managed to get the remote to work and everything was fine. It is now since this summer that the POWER button works for the PowerON but it does not work for the PowerOFF. I donât think itâs a problem with the remote control otherwise the PowerOn wouldnât work either, donât you think? This is a problem that other users have found and it seems to me that we have not solved them either. I also tried the Keytable command from SSh to understand something more but that command doesnât find any .cfg files that are there.
If this remote has a learn function, try relearning from the original remote that came with the device.
Do you still have the remote that came with the box? If yes, you can teach the USB remote how to turn on the box. The tutorial on how to do that is in the Library section of the Repository.
I try to give some more information to try to understand the problem. I tried to completely delete the remote control cfg file and Configfiles \ rc_keymaps folder. The remote still works without custom configuration. The original remote no longer works. If I try to learn the power button it stops working even in power_on. Same with another device that mounts the S912 instead of the 905X. Same remote and same problem. I tried the procedure described at How to configure IR remote control. I am able to stop systemctl services stop kodi e
systemctl stop eventlircd but pressing remote keys read nothing. In previous versions they worked. If you need more info or photos I will send them to you.
Then try this:
