Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] [piCorePlayer] Customization of RF remote control keys?
Thanks for the pointer. It turns out this new remote is sending a different code for the OK and Enter keys than the one that works. Working remote: Code: Event: time 1613328411.379315, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 70028 Event: time 1613328411.379315, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 28 (KEY_ENTER), value 1 Event: time 1613328411.379315, -- SYN_REPORT Event: time 1613328411.387290, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 70028 Event: time 1613328411.387290, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 28 (KEY_ENTER), value 0 Non-working new remote: Code: Event: time 1613328715.194926, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 70058 Event: time 1613328715.194926, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 96 (KEY_KPENTER), value 1 Event: time 1613328715.194926, -- SYN_REPORT Event: time 1613328715.298836, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 70058 Event: time 1613328715.298836, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 96 (KEY_KPENTER), value 0 So it looks like the remote is functioning, but Jivelite is ignoring the 70058 code. I guess I will need to remap the codes to get it to work if I want to keep it? Is this typical of RF remotes? I would have expected Enter to be consistent/universal.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] [piCorePlayer] Customization of RF remote control keys?
Just got another RF remote to try out: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0787Z1C2G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8=1 33368 I wanted to try this one since the front side is much simpler and should do the job for jivelite control. All the buttons work with jivelite EXCEPT the OK button and the enter key on the back. They do nothing. These are obviously the most important for selections, so it is pretty useless. I suspect it is just defective and will send it back, but I was wondering about a quick way to check in the logs to see if these keys are getting recognized?

OK - thanks. I am finding the remote pretty useful out of the box. Like I mentioned the space bar on the keyboard side does work as a play/pause.

I have installed the updated jivelite test version per your instructions, and everything looks OK now: 1) PLAYPAUSE button is now working as intended (press first time => playback is paused; press second time => playback is resumed) 2) I can navigate into the piCorePlayer menu item again 3) NL and DE translations of menu item "MENU_ENABLE_POWER_ON_BUTTON_WHEN_OFF" are updated and OK. 4) Behavior of POWER button is OK again. Since everything looks OK I have stored a backup of the updated test versions of files pcp-jivelite.tcz and pcp-jivelite.tcz.md5.txt.

I think the POWER button changes are a side effect of the picoreplayer applet not loading, because the code in the repository jivelite build is the same. Otherwise, I've introduced an issue that I need to resolve before starting on the next release.

I burned the original PCP6.1.0 image to the SD card and apart from selecting the proper audio output device on the Squeezelite Settings page (in my case Hifiberry DAC Zero) I did not change any setting. Then I installed the Jivelite extension on the Tweaks page, and after reboot checked that Jivelite was working as expected.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] [piCorePlayer] Customization of RF remote control keys?
Thanks Ralphy for spending time on making KEY_PLAYPAUSE functional! I followed your instructions for installation of the test pcp-jivelite extension. Unfortunately it does not work as expected. These are my observations: 1) The PLAYPAUSE button still does not work, i.e. audio playback is not paused. When I press the PlayPause button the only thing that happens is that the jivelite GUI moves a few millimeter to the right on the connected monitor and then within a fraction of a second moves back to its original position. 2. I can't enter the piCorePlayer menu (Home => Settings => piCorePlayer) anymore. So I also can't check if the Dutch translation of menu item "MENU_ENABLE_POWER_ON_BUTTON_WHEN_OFF" has changed. When selecting the piCorePlayer menu item and pressing the OK button I only see the short movement of the GUI (same as when pressing the PlayPause button). FYI, I copied the updated pcp-jivelite.tcz file from the pCP SD Card to my Windows PC and inspected the content with 7-zip. I found that /opt/jivelite/share/jive/applets/piCorePlayer/strings.txt does contain the updated translations for menu item "MENU_ENABLE_POWER_ON_BUTTON_WHEN_OFF" Based on my observations, do you have an idea what goes wrong? | LMS 7.9.3 | Squeezebox Boom | RPi0W + pCP 6.1.0 + HiFiBerry DAC+ Zero | CJS's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68700 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112709 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

After enabling the Power On button in Settings -> Picoreplayer the Power button behaviour is indeed as I want it. Thanks Ralphy. PS: The reason that I did not select the proper setting for the Power button is that I was wrong-footed by an incorrect translation (normally I have the Dutch language (Nederlands) selected in Jivelite advanced settings).

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] [piCorePlayer] Customization of RF remote control keys?
First thanks for the keycode for the KEY_PLAYPAUSE. A generic key symbol is already defined for it in SDL, so I should just need to update the jive_framework.c file to map it. KEY_POWER has several special handlers in jivelite, where as KEY_Q does not follow the same code path. You should be able to fix the KEY_POWER behaviour in jivelite go to settings->picoreplayer->enable power on button when powered off and save and restart jivelite.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] [piCorePlayer] Customization of RF remote control keys?
One more question about the response of Jivelite/LMS on pressing button KEY_POWER on my RF/USB remote control. The response on pressing this button is not as I expected. I made following observation: In file InputToActionMap.lua, keys["q"] and [KEY_POWER] are both mapped on action "power": charActionMappings.press ["q"] = "power", keyActionMappings.press [KEY_POWER] = "power", Yet the reaction of LMS on pressing q and pressing KEY_POWER appears to be different: - pressing q *toggles power* (pressing q first time => power off, pressing q again => power on) - pressing KEY_POWER gives *power off* (pressing KEY_POWER first time => power off, pressing KEY_POWER again => player stays off). To power the player on after pressing KEY_POWER I need to press a different key, for example a numerical key or the KEY_HOMEPAGE button. My preference would be that pressing KEY_POWER toggles power. *Question to Raplhy*: Can it be explained why pressing the POWER button results in a different action than pressing q? For completeness the full output of evtest on pressing KEY_POWER after selecting event2 is given below: Code: sudo evtest No device specified, trying to scan all of /dev/input/event* Available devices: /dev/input/event0: FREEWAY TECHNOLOGY RFIC-MOUSE Keyboard /dev/input/event1: FREEWAY TECHNOLOGY RFIC-MOUSE Consumer Control /dev/input/event2: FREEWAY TECHNOLOGY RFIC-MOUSE System Control /dev/input/event3: FREEWAY TECHNOLOGY RFIC-MOUSE /dev/input/event4: FREEWAY TECHNOLOGY RFIC-MOUSE Select the device event number [0-4]: 2 Input driver version is 1.0.1 Input device ID: bus 0x3 vendor 0x25a7 product 0x2402 version 0x101 Input device name: "FREEWAY TECHNOLOGY RFIC-MOUSE System Control" Supported events: Event type 0 (EV_SYN) Event type 1 (EV_KEY) Event code 116 (KEY_POWER) Event code 139 (KEY_MENU) Event code 142 (KEY_SLEEP) Event code 143 (KEY_WAKEUP) Event type 4 (EV_MSC) Event code 4 (MSC_SCAN) Properties: Testing ...

It would be very nice if you could consider this for the next pCP release. Running evtest, selecting event1 and then pressing button KEY_PLAYPAUSE gives the following output.

Thanks Ralphy. I had earlier hidden Quit from the HOME menu, that is why
I did not see it... Pressing letter o indeed works.

Following your suggestion I have modified the behavior of function keys
F3 to F7 by means of following changes to sections
keyActionMappings.press as well as keyActionMappings.hold in
InputToActionMap.lua:
Code:
[KEY_PRESET_3] = "go_search",
[KEY_PRESET_4] = "disabled",
[KEY_PRESET_5] = "disabled",
[KEY_PRESET_6] = "disabled",
[KEY_PRESET_7] = "disabled",
FYI, the reason for disabling the coloured function keys F4 to F7 is
that these keys are programmed to function as "Source Select" keys for
my Stereo set when the RC operates in IR mode. For selecting a different
input source for my Stereo, I need to long-press one of these function
keys in IR mode. It happened a few times that I long-pressed one of
these keys for selecting a different input source for my Stereo,
assuming that the RC was operating in IR mode, while in reality the RC
was operating in RF mode. By disabling the function keys in RF mode it
is avoided that presets are accidentally changed.
Apart from changing the behavior of the function keys I also modified
the mapping of the special characters for setting presets 1 to 9. I did
this because the order of special characters on this T3 Remote Control
is different from the order that is used on standard PC/Laptop
keyboards, refer to picture below:
31247
I changed the mapping of special characters to presets by selecting the
special character that is physically located directly below the
corresponding numerical key.
Following changes were made to section charActionMappings.press in
InputToActionMap.lua:
Code:
-- [")"] = "set_preset_0",
["!"] = "set_preset_1",
["^"] = "set_preset_2",
["#"] = "set_preset_3",
["$"] = "set_preset_4",
["%"] = "set_preset_5",
["&"] = "set_preset_6",
["*"] = "set_preset_7",
["("] = "set_preset_8",
[")"] = "set_preset_9",
With this mapping I can set presets 1 to 9 by means of the Remote
Control. Only limitation is that preset 0 (corresponding with preset 10
in LMS) cannot be set with the RC.

Not being a programmer, at this moment in time I consider modification
of source code and recompilation of Jivelite a step to far. It is a pity
that I can't pause/play audio with the PLAYPAUSE key at the front side
of the RC, but I can still do this by using the SPACE bar at the back
side. This is a limitation that I can live with.
Thanks again Ralphy for your help! If there are piCorePlayer users that
own a similar RC are interested in the modified InputToActionMap.lua
file, just let me know in this forum topic. On request I can provide the
modified InputToActionMap.lua file including detailed installation
instructions.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] [piCorePlayer] Customization of RF remote control keys?
There is a Quit menu item at the bottom of the main menu in jivelite. Alternatively, you can press the small letter o to quit immediately. Picoreplayer will restart jivelite automatically. Unfortunately, you can't add key codes in InputToActionMap.lua as all keys must be registered in the jive framework C source first, which then requires recompiling jivelite and as you discovered if jivelite doesn't recognize the key code it won't start. The Fn (function) keys are 'reassigned in the framework' (https://github.com/ralph-irving/jivelite/blob/master/src/jive_framework.c#L102) to KEY_PRESET_n so you should be able to map Code: [KEY_PRESET_3] = "go_search", If the KEY_PLAYPAUSE doesn't respond to KEY_PLAY or KEY_PAUSE you won't likely be able to map it without modifying the SDL library and recompiling it and jivelite.

With the help of your instructions and the evtest program I found the keycodes of all buttons that are located at the front of the T3 RF remote control. The picture below shows the keycode for each button, as well as the input / event (event0, event1, event2) on which the keycode is received. 31226 ralphy wrote: > ... and 'this one' > (https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?105117-lirc-rpi-gpio-IR-support-for-picoreplayer=883651=1#post883651) > outlines how to modify the jivelite key mapping in picoreplayer. I am struggling with this step. After extracting the default InputToActionMap.lua file from /tce/optional/pcp-jivelite.tcz, I modified the content of this file. My plan was to change c.q. create following key mappings (keycode => wanted action): Code: [KEY_PLAYPAUSE] = "pause", [KEY_F3] = "go_search", [KEY_F4] = "disabled", [KEY_F5] = "disabled", [KEY_F6] = "disabled", [KEY_F7] = "disabled", As it happens to be, none of these 6 keycodes exist in the default InputToActionMap.lua file, even if jivelite does respond on pressing the F3 to F7 function keys by playing presets 3 to 7. It seems that (for example) key code [KEY_F3] is mapped on action "play_preset_3", even if code [KEY_F3] is not defined in InputToActionMap.lua. Since the 6 keycodes did not exist I added the code shown above to the end of section "keyActionMappings.press", and copied the modified InputToActionMap.lua to /home/tc/.jivelite/userpath/jive/InputToActionMap.lua, as instructed in the linked post (btw I first created folder jive since this folder did not exist under /home/tc/.jivelite/userpath) : ralphy wrote: > Just copy the modified InputToActionMap.lua to > /home/tc/.jivelite/userpath/jive/InputToActionMap.lua and "quit > jivelite".

Since I did not know how to do this, I rebooted pCP expecting that jivelite would pick up the modified InputToActionMap.lua. But the respons of jivelite on the 6 added keycodes had not changed, and when I used winscp to check the contents of folder /home/tc/.jivelite/userpath it appeared that folder jive with the modified InputToActionMap.lua file had dissapeared. It seems like folder /home/tc/.jivelite is recreated after reboot? In a second attempt, I again copied the modified InputToActionMap.lua to folder /home/tc/.jivelite/userpath/jive, but before rebooting pCP I stored settings to SD card via the Jivelite GUI. In this case after rebooting pCP, at the end of the boot process the jivelite GUI did not appear on the screen. Maybe this is because jivelite does not recognize the 6 added keycodes? I noticed that in this case file /home/tc/.jivelite/userpath/jive/InputToActionMap.lua was there. After deleting folder /home/tc/.jivelite/userpath/jive the jivelite GUI did appear on the screen. Can anybody tell me what I should do to create the 6 custom keymappings mentioned above? +---+ |Filename: T3_RF_RC_keycodes_front_buttons.png | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=31226| +---+ | LMS 7.9.3 | Squeezebox Boom | RPi0W + pCP 6.1.0 + HiFiBerry DAC | CJS's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68700 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112709 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

[SlimDevices: Unix] [piCorePlayer] Customization of RF remote control keys?
Dear Squeezebox community, I have a few question about the possibility to customize RF remote control keys in piCorePlayer. But let me start with describing my pCP setup. I built a Squeezebox player using a Raspberry Pi ZeroW board in combination with piCorePlayer. I can control pCP with a smartphone control app (I am using Squeeze Ctrl on an Android phone), but also wanted to be able to control pCP using an RF remote control. To accomplish this I installed the Jivelite extension in pCP, and bought an RF remote control to control Jivelite. The Jivelite screen is displayed on my TV via the HDMI output of the RPi ZeroW. The RF remote control that I bought is a "model T3" device that is described here: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=278842 . This remote is sold on Aliexpress for circa 10 US dollar, for example here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000671247122.html . It is actually a multi-function remote control that can be switched between RF mode (in this mode it can also work as a mouse) and IR mode. I am using the RF mode for remote control of piCorePlayer via Jivelite, and the IR mode for remote control of my Stereo set. The remote comes with an RF receiver in the form of an USB dongle, that is connected to the USB port of my RPi ZeroW using an USB to micro-USB adapter cable. After connecting the RF receiver to the USB port of the RPi ZeroW, RF remote control was working immediately (i.e. without installing LIRC or IR tools for Jivelite), and most keys at the front side of the remote have a function. So remote control is actually working quite well, but if possible I would like to change the function of a few keys. For example, with the existing key mapping, somehow I unintentially changed presets a few times. I think I can avoid this by removing c.q. changing the function of the 4 coloured buttons at the front side of the remote. Also I would like to change the behavior of the pause/play button, i.e. give it the same function as the space bar at the bottom side of the remote. Finally here are my questions: 1) Where in piCorePlayer is the mapping of RF remote control keys defined? Is it in piCore Linux or in Jivelite? 2) Does anybody know if it is possible to customize the key mapping? If so, how? 3) Is there a linux tool to detect the key code of RF remote control keys? I suppose that I first need to know the key code of a specific key before I can map the key on another action. Thanks in advance for your help. | LMS 7.9.3 | Squeezebox Boom | RPi0W + pCP 6.1.0 + HiFiBerry DAC | CJS's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68700 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112709 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
