Here is my meson_IR package for the remote provided with the box.

Thank you, your contribution has been added to the repository.

Hi All,

Im having trouble getting my remote to work. Im sure its me and not the files but here is what i have done:

The box is H96max just like the picture.
Copied the rc_maps.cfg file and put it in /storage/.config/
copied the H96max file and renamed it KEYMAP (no extension) and put it into /storage/.config/rc_keymaps

Ive tried renaming to H96max and that doesnt work either.

Any ideas

That’s incorrect. You added a step.

Lol. I’m not so sure why I’m not understanding this.
Which step extra did I add?

Step 1

Copy the rc_maps.cfg to /storage/.config/

Step 2

Copy the file H96max to /storage/.config/rc_keymaps

Was I supposed to name the file which was H96max to KEYMAP ??

The box is irrelevant. Is it the same remote as in the picture?

You posted that you renamed the H96max file to KEYMAP, that would be an incorrect step.

Also, please provide a log.

So what should I name it? I can’t just copy the file from github.
I have to copy the text into notepad then save it as something.
I think that’s where I’m not sure. What should I save it as?
I need 2 files, correct?

You’ll have the answer in the other file.

Hi, need your inputs, I have x96air_v2 that is working on the latest Coreelec version. But the remote is not working. I followed the steps on creating your own remote.conf via the wiki - 02. Amlogic: Creating remote.conf from scratch · CoreELEC/remotes Wiki · GitHub

When I press the “up” key I get this

[ 463.840681@0] meson-remote ff808040.meson-remote: invalid custom:0xe916fe01

So the settings I have is below

factory_code	= 0xfe010001
work_mode	= 1
repeat_enable   = 1
repeat_delay    = 130
repeat_peroid   = 120
release_delay	= 20
debug_enable 	= 1

key_begin
0x16 103 # UP
key_end

But the “up” key still doesn’t work. getting errors below
[ 106.002716@0] meson-remote ff808040.meson-remote: invalid custom:0xe916fe01
[ 106.002725@0] meson-remote ff808040.meson-remote: cur_custom is nulll
[ 106.002729@0] meson-remote ff808040.meson-remote: no valid key to handle

Any way to resolve this? I’m just trying to troublesoot the “up” key first. Thanks.

CoreELEC3:~ # dmesg | paste
http://ix.io/3Irv

Maybe see if this one works.

As an alternative, you could try the meson version:

Unfortunately both doesn’t work

CoreELEC3:~ # dmesg | paste
http://ix.io/3IrI

CoreELEC3:~ # ir-keytable
/sys/class/rc/: No such file or directory
No devices found

Can you SSH into the box and run: :

systemctl stop kodi
systemctl stop eventlircd
ir-keytable -u

then press the power key on the remote and paste the output here?

It should look something like:

Received IRMP code: remotewakeup='0xb24d4040', decode_type='0x0', remotewakeupmask='0xffffffff'

See output, it seems ir-keytable is not available

CoreELEC3:~ # systemctl stop kodi
CoreELEC3:~ # systemctl stop eventlircd
CoreELEC3:~ # ir-keytable -u
/sys/class/rc/: No such file or directory
No devices found
CoreELEC3:~ #

For troubleshooting purposes, I tried to burn to another sd card. But same result. I can power on the box via remote. but after that the remote doesn’t work anymore.

Please ensure to follow all troubleshooting steps.

@Betatester
Thanks for your help. Removing the remote.conf on the /flash did the trick. Thanks again.

I thought I had the answer in the file so I called it H96max.
I do t know where this extra step is that I’ve done?
