Raspberry PI2 + Openelec 6.0 + MediaPro III + VDR + Remote command

[Want2Play]

Hello,

Edit : I use a Raspberry Pi2

I'm using Openelec 6.0.0 and the VDR backend and frontend.  I've the last version of the remote command, the version "3" from a german thread.

The cursors can change the channels, but the number can't select a channel. After I want map some key to the Kodi interface.

I've found this, but it could be too old for the 6.0.0 version of OpenElec http://openelec.tv/forum/103-infared-remotes/61729-sundtek-remote-not-working?start=15

How to activate the remote command in OpenElec / VDR ?

Thanks.

Best regards.

Good question, I don't know how Openelec currently implements the remote control.

There are 2 ways.
1. the remote control is registered as a keyboard interface (by default)
2. Lirc attaches to the registered remote control interface

I don't know if Openelec currently uses LIRC or just the default keyboard interface

It seems like Openelec uses LIRC
http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php/Guide_to_add_your_own_remote

the numeric patterns are currently set to KEY_0 - KEY_9 instead of KEY_NUMERIC_0 - KEY_NUMERIC_9

Do you have any experience with Lirc?

Hi,

I've no experience with Lirc.

Must I do something to activate the specific mapping of the MediaPro III ? The the moment, you've right, it's only a keyboard.

I can only give you some hint at the moment since I do not have any openelec system here right now.

If you open a terminal you can dump the current keymap
mediaclient --dumprc > /tmp/keymap.txt

afterwards you can edit this keymap and change KEY_0 to KEY_NUMERIC_0

and load the new keymap using
mediaclient --setrcmap=/tmp/keymap.txt

You would have to wait a few more days until I can have an openelec system in order to help you with more details.

Thanks for your help. I'll go try this and come back to give you the status.

Edit : I've changed the title of this thread because I use a Raspberry Pi2.

The KEY_[0-9] changed to KEY_NUMERIC_[0-9] and mediaclient --setrcmap=... done, but no result. Even the keys CH+ and CH- are inactiv.

Edit : I've add the program "Keymap Editor". For the PVR, when I try to map the CH+ to a command, there is no detection of the key pressed, but it's working for CH- and Record / the red button.

Have you some suggestions ?

For the moment, I use Osmc (November 2015). I would want to controm Kodi with the remote control.

Thanks for any help.
