Odroid N2 test builds

Honestly, I don’t think this is something I could solve with any overscsn settings.

This worked without any problems some builds ago.

Look into your guisettings.xml

The only adjustments I could find in ir-keytable are Delay and Period which are to do with how long a key is pressed down. My problem is that after you press one key you need to wait almost a second before pressing another key or the press isn’t recognised.

Anyway the main problem turns out to be my USB DVB dongle. If I stop TVHeadend the HK remote improves, and if I remove the dongle altogether the remote is just about perfect.

I don’t know if this is fixable or not, but I guess it should be as the IR remote on my S905 box works perfectly while using that dongle.

It’s a PCTV Triplestick 292e.

Unfortunately, the magic special sauce behind how the DVB driver stuff works, breaks stuff and makes it a nightmare to maintain and deal with IR remote stuff. The IR remote when not using the DVB stuff works reasonably well, though I do plan on making a few more improvements to it. Hopefully we can figure a way to lower the burden caused by DVB stuff and make it so there is no problems when using an IR remote with the DVB stuff.

Thanks so much for the reply, I understand it must be a bloody nightmare.

I think my wife is finally getting used to the airmouse/kb now anyway after me constantly reminding her “spacebar to pause/play and C for menu” :slightly_smiling_face:

@Daaave I can highly recommend the Amazon Alexa remote paired with a super cheap CSR8510 bluetooth dongle, works perfectly and is more responsive than any IR remote.

I’ve tried my OSMC remote as well which also works perfectly fine out of the box.

Can these remotes be configured to switch the N2 on? (startup from shutdown state I mean)

Thanks for your help

I’ve checked both poweroff / systemctl suspend - no diff.
Last line after kernel up is always:

CoreELEC:~ # pwr_key=1fe0f807

If it means anything… didn’t find reference to such variable anywhere in sources…

I don’t think so no, afaik only an IR remote can be used to power on from a full off state.

Iirc, POWER and VOL buttons on Alexa Remote use IR, everything else are BT.

Possibly on the older Amazon remotes, however on the new voice remote that comes with the 4K stick all the buttons are bluetooth and can be configured inside Kodi.

Interrupt handler delay. We might have to adjust smp affinity.

This has to work. Now I looked in my uart and there is no confirmation that the usr key is setup. But uart will print NEC keycodes if you push some buttons. Can you check uart again and press your NEC keys. Is your remote NEC? Maybe ir-keytable gets the wrong keycode.

@Ray
Spoken too soon. After about 20hr of suspend, got problems as described below

Can’t SSH to it at first, but fixed by toggling Wired Network at CoreELEC Settings.
Managed to upload the logs http://ix.io/1GDs

Haven’t tried your latest build (with sdcard fix)

Regards,

Yeah SD cards are broken with suspend. I will have to look for a solution.

This won’t work out of the box. You need to put in some effort.

Sure I understand that but I dont know what file to modify its not so obvious to me :slight_smile:
