Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Howto create a linux kernel IR remote keytable for Jivelite on piCorePlayer 5

All good now - I didn't fully get the fact that Jivelite sent output via
HDMI as well as to any screen - obvious really, so went done that route,
configured Flirc on PC for most common controls, now just going to try
getting my Harmony Hub to get it right - Two wonderful products killed
by Logitech!
Many thanks

Thanks - I did try those, I found after originally posted, but got stuck
on

$ sudo /usr/local/sbin/inputlircd -n "flirc.tv flirc" -m 0 -g -r 500

Today I'm getting Command not found, but I was getting something else
yesterday - I'll keep playing, not much else to do today apart from take
decorations down.

With JiveLite install I am guessing I don't need any of the IR parts as
FLIRC is viewed as a USB keyboard (Which I didn't realize until the
earlier reply).

Off Topic - the reason why I am looking at this is my SB2 has semi-died
- see
https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?117314-SB2-Display-died-after-power-loss
and we had the SB2 with a 'fuzzy clock" which is now missed by the
family - if I went with a small display on the Pi is there an equivalent
display option for when nothing is playing?

Many thanks

Thanks - so with JiveLight I need to configure the FLIRC to read the
remote buttons as specific Jivelite keys - presumably there is a key map
somewhere - I'll look - there are instructions on 'page 5'
(https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?110640-Howto-create-a-linux-kernel-IR-remote-keytable-for-Jivelite-on-piCorePlayer-5/page5)
of this thread I've found since posting, but I get as far as "Start
inputlircd from the command line while testing. I've found the following
options work best." which doesn't work.

Anyway - something to look at next year!

Not sure about without Jivelite I have never used it like this I've

Jumping in here - so, a old, prob v1 flirc, SHOULD work with pCP, and

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Howto create a linux kernel IR remote keytable for Jivelite on piCorePlayer 5

[bengaldave]

Get got an ir receiver for my piCoreplayer.

Works great

1)
According to an earlier post, holding down the ffwd should seek through
the currently playing song.

What it does do is to cycle through all songs in the playlist.

How can I get seek working?

2) 

How hard would it be to map the sleep key to now playing? Would like to
be able to cycle through the now playing screens.

I have both the full sized squeezebox remote and the mini squeezebox
remote.

The mini squeezebox remote does not have a key for now playing, that is
why I would like to map the sleep key to now playing.

Flirc is nothing to do with lirc, in fact if you're using a Flirc you
don't need lirc or ir keytables

If Flirc is not working you probably need to go to the Flirc forum and
work out what you're doing wrong.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Howto create a linux kernel IR remote keytable for Jivelite on piCorePlayer 5

[mfraser]

I've only been using Jivelite and piCorePlayer for about a week, but
I've successfully managed to connect and setup remote control using a
TSOP38238. Is it possible to modify the keytable file to support more
than one type of remote control so that I can use the original
Squeezebox remote and a Yamaha receiver programmable remote?

Unfortunately the Yamaha remote doesn't have the commands for the
Squeezebox remote built-in and it isn't a learning remote.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Howto create a linux kernel IR remote keytable for Jivelite on piCorePlayer 5

[chazza]

Hi there again - thanks for the tips Ralphy, but i'm not sure i fully
understood them ?!

Anyway, having messed around far too much with LIRC - trying to somehow
disable the receive function, whilst exploiting transmit (didn't work in
the end, i could either have only Rx with IR-tools, or only Tx with
LIRC) - and then i discovered ir-ctl !

So, ir-ctl is part of the ir-tools package and will allow me to
transmit, whilst receive continues to work as is!

ir-ctl -f gives me this:
Receive features /dev/lirc0:
- Device cannot receive
Send features /dev/lirc0:
- Device can send raw IR
- IR scancode encoder
- Set carrier
- Set duty cycle
So this makes sense i guess as receive is already busy via jivelite.

and indeed, the following will send a key code and make the IR LED
flash:   sudo ir-ctl -S rc6_0:0xA45B

However, this wont turn my NAD amp on !! - whereas the licrc equivalent:
irsend SEND_ONCE  NAD_SR6 KEY_POWER does indeed work.

Below is the first part of the LIRC config file i am using for my amp -
and i assumed if i could guess the correct protocol (which is the
function of the first part of the lirc.conf file right ?!) then all i
need to send would be the key code and possibly the pre_data 0xE13E
beforehand (which i think identifies the make and model). But i cant
find / guess whcih IR protocol the NAD is using and also i cant get any
to work with the 4 hex numbers 0xE13EA45B

So, the two questions I have are: Am i barking up the right tree or
completely not ? / and does anyone have a clue which IR protocol NAD use
??

By using the metod you descirbed  on Page 6? 

I can says that now pcp works with flicr and a remote. I borrowed a hdmi
cable before but bought one now so I can test any time I want. Connected
and rebooted. Jivelite started as it should and everything works. I
don't know what didn't work when I had no video.

I have also mapped keys 1 through 9 to pick stations from favourites but
I can only pick two. The one set at nr 1 and the one set at nr 3. Any
idea what would the player skip station 2 and not play anything beyond
station 3? All the stations are playable via browser. Jivelite just
shakes when i pick a station that isn't 1 or.3.

Not sure about 1:1 transmit, but the "blst" frame is a noop in both
squeezelite and jivelite if I remember my research correctly (it's been
some time).

I don't know - but with those limited functions that do not rely on real
navigation then I suppose it could work.
Are you trying to control a player that is not on this device?
If yes - then that could be a problem if Jivelite has switched to a
different player.

Can you reconnect a screen to watch what is happening?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Howto create a linux kernel IR remote keytable for Jivelite on piCorePlayer 5

[Brookaz]

I'm really disappointed with how the remote part works with jivelive
enabled... I don't know what's going on since i'm running my pibox
headless but the remote doesnt work. I have jivelite enabled, it's
supposedly running, my harmony remote was programmed to work with flirc.
And about a month ago when I set it up and still had pi connected to my
tv to see whats going on it was working. Now I found a pair of speakers,
connected them and the remote doesnt work. It's not plug&play friendly
enough for my wife that needs the remote to work to switch it on/off and
cycle between saved stations.

Am I doing something wrong, should I switch to LIRC? ralphy wrote an
excellent guide in post '#44'
(https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?110640-Howto-create-a-linux-kernel-IR-remote-keytable-for-Jivelite-on-piCorePlayer-5&p=983675&viewfull=1#post983675).
It's also a bit more complicated than just enabling jivelite. But is it
more foolproof and plug&play friendly once set up?

I also have an IR jive module that I use that's based on the
squeezeplay_fab4 ir driver from the touch, but uses lircd to get the IR
events.  IR Navigation is identical to that of the hardware players, in
that the key hold actions work, which the current implementation does
not support.  However, what we currently have in pcp is more flexible in
terms of what actions can be executed.  So there's that tradeoff.

The ir module currently supports the slimdevices remotes by default and
you can map actions for other remotes using lircrc and/or key symbols.

I haven't released it yet, but if you don't have any luck getting
lircd-uinput to work, it's another option that can be explored.

Maybe. I don't remember testing using lircd with pcp 5+.  I know the
kernel IR keytables does not support many of the features of lircd.

The pcp webadmin only has support for LIRC with squeezelite.  You will
need to create a modified jivelite.sh startup script to manually start
lircd-uinput before jivelite will receive IR events.

I don't know if IR transmit is possible with the kernel subsystem.  I've
never investigated that.

The jivelite IR tools extension are from of the v4l (video for linux)
tools so you might be able to find more details on their site

Sorry was watching F1 on catchup !

Yes FLIRC is easy with jivelite

It can be made to work with Squeezelite but I've never done this though
others have.

Glad you got it working

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Howto create a linux kernel IR remote keytable for Jivelite on piCorePlayer 5

[Brookaz]

Okay, please tell me how you got it working, NoobNR7. I have really
tried. I have 15 open tabs. Started going through the procedure that
ralphy wrote on page 5. I also have a FLIRC and I just want to control
the player to stop, start, maybe have a few favorite stations on buttons
1-9. Just like you I've tried enabling IR, then disable IR and enabling
Jivelite. All sorts of tweaks and nothing! I'm so frustrated. I have now
completely deleted and reinstalled pCp and want to start from scratch.
So pCp with LMS is installed. I have 9 stations in my favourites in
LMS.

I have a harmony remote that I want to use with the pCp. But first I
would like to control the player with a remote from my previous radio
device. It has all the buttons I need and when pCp works with it I'll
add a new device in Harmony and have it learn the IR codes from this
older remote. I've mapped all the buttons I need in FLIRC on windows. I
plug in my FLIRC and nothing happens. If I press the buttons in notepad
on Windows I get the correct responses. So why doesn't pCp respond? This
is the keymap I used:

Yes you only need to mess around if you are controlling squeezelite,
controlling Jivelite is easy with the FLIRC

Thank you Jeff for answering my question.

I bought the flirc some time ago. Hoping it would make my pcp life
easier...
I did not got it to work a while ago... The past weekend was my second
attempt.

I programmed the flirc with some keys on my Windows PC.
If I use the flirc dongle on my Windows system I can see the keys I have
programmed when I use notepad. 
On my picoreplayer nothing happens?

If I understand you correct?
I do not need to activate lirc?
I do not have to activate jivelite and/or jivelite ir settings? Jivelite
was the keytable way?

Just put in the correct keys when I am programming the flirc usb
receiver? Ah ok... I just connected my Logitech wireless keyboard. It
works like that? Oh... well my Logitech keyboard works of course... I
used when I installed pcp for first time... 
I am going to try some things...
Will be back to let you know. You just put my thoughts on a different
track. Thank you Jeff :D

Thanks for reply Jeroen.

pcp bu is like *b*ack *u*p?
I found that on main page op web gui. Later on. Maybe if I did that when
I was trying to get it working it would have been oke?

That was my attempt to get it running with inputlircd...
Described by Ralphy on page 5 of this thread.

When I try to do the same now inputlircd does not seem to exist? I also
get errors when trying to do what is described in the steps explained by
Ralphy.
That was different before?
In the mean time I upgraded to higher version of piCorePlayer :cool:to
put in some extra variables...
pfff

I will try a fresh install tonight on a slightly newer raspberry.

Keep in touch please. I would like to see my flirc en remote work on my
pcp...

When using the Flirc USB Dongle you do not use lirc or keytables, the
FLIRC emulates a keyboard

So program the FLIRC dongle to send the appropriate keys for the remote
control operation you want

Hi Ralphy,

Hoping you can help me out? I am struggling to get IR working on my old
raspberry with pcp.

Trying to install/ use flirc ir usb receiver with a remote lying around
in the house.
(wich is preferred ir remote (easiest/ future proof) method in
2021?(Jivelite or Lirc?))

Trying your steps from your first post.
With Jivelite IR enabled my Flirc usb dongle is not working.

sudo ir-keytable doesn't seem to show my flirc usb device?
I think it only shows gpio_ir_receiver? No usb device mentioned.
When i "sudo ir-keytable -t" I do not see anything being displayed. So I
have yet to make my own keytable file/ settings?

I had the remote working :D for a little while on pcp. But when I
rebooted I had to take all steps again. 
So I think the Philips remote and flirc do work?
The time I got it working was when I followed the steps mentioned
further down in this thread. I tried it with inputlircd. But now I do
not seem to get that working anymore?

I am sorry I am a noob.
Enjoying my pcp. Wish I could use ir remote with it. 
I do not know what is wrong: flirc usb dongle? My remote? Me trying to
config pcp?

I read quite some hours already. Believing de solution is around the
corner. I just can't see it.
Hoping you can help me find it.

Remove inputlircd from user commands and add it to /opt/bootlocal.sh
before the pcp_startup.sh line.


Code:

tc@rpi37-wls:~$ cat /opt/bootlocal.sh
  #!/bin/sh
  # put other system startup commands here
  
  GREEN="$(echo -e '\033[1;32m')"
  
  echo
  echo "${GREEN}Running bootlocal.sh..."
  /USR/LOCAL/SBIN/INPUTLIRCD -N \"FLIRC.TV FLIRC\" -M 0 -G -R 500 -T 
/HOME/TC/INPUTLIRCD.KEYMAP > /VAR/LOG/PCP_INPUTLIRCD.LOG 2>&1
  
  #pCPstart--
  /usr/local/etc/init.d/pcp_startup.sh 2>&1 | tee -a /var/log/pcp_boot.log
  #pCPstop--
  


That will launch inputlircd before squeezelite is started and save any
output from inputlircd to /var/log/pcp_inputlircd.log

Hi Ralphy,

Many thanks again for these detailed instructions. I managed to
succesfully complete all of the actions, including the testing of the
key mapping file.

However after making the final changes in the webgui, backing them up
and rebooting, the RPI does not respond to the remote control. Any idea
what the reason for this could be?

For completeness, I'm using PCP 6.1.0, Squeezelite v1.9.7-1270-pCP and
the logitech remote that comes with the SB Touch.

Thanks.

Try switching to the PCP Mirror Repo by clicking the bottom right tab to
the left of the theme tab and then try updating squeezelite.

This doesn't seem to be available as of right now (1256 is the latest
from the WEBGUI), while Sourceforge contains 1269. I presume that it's
just a question of time and not anything more serious.

This requires a change to squeezelite to enable repeat for those keys. 
Update squeezelite to 1.9.7-1270 from the picoreplayer webgui main tab. 
Then pressing the key momentarily skips to the next/prev track and if
you hold either one LMS "scans" forward/back within the current track.

You can push the "Favorites" button, then enter the number of a favorite
(something between 1 and 99), and then hit "Play" and squeezelte will
start playing the favorite.

Another option is to create a /home/tc/.lircrc file to map the KEY_1 to
KEY_6 to presets.


Code:

begin
  button = KEY_1
  repeat = 1
  prog = squeezelite
  config = preset_1
  end
  begin
  button = KEY_2
  repeat = 1
  prog = squeezelite
  config = preset_2
  end
  begin
  button = KEY_3
  repeat = 1
  prog = squeezelite
  config = preset_3
  end
  begin
  button = KEY_4
  repeat = 1
  prog = squeezelite
  config = preset_4
  end
  begin
  button = KEY_5
  repeat = 1
  prog = squeezelite
  config = preset_5
  end
  begin
  button = KEY_6
  repeat = 1
  prog = squeezelite
  config = preset_6
  end


Pressing 1..6 will play the preset and holding the key will set the
currently playing track/stream to the preset.  There are no
Slim_Devices_Remote IR codes in LMS for presets 7-10.

Also, note that I've removed the -c from the inputlircd command lines in
my instructions as I found squeezelite ignores "shifted" key codes.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Howto create a linux kernel IR remote keytable for Jivelite on piCorePlayer 5

[Wigster]

Perfect! I just had the idea of setting up my FLIRC again and here is
the guide. Thank you!

So I managed to get it to work with my old Squeezebox remote, through
FLIRC into PCP6.1 in the way that you have described.

Now, the basic keys work ok (power, play, pause, shuffle, repeat).
However, as far as I can tell, KEY_NEXT and KEY_FORWARD have exactly the
same actions: they move to the next track in the currently playing
playlist. Same goes for KEY_BACK and KEY_REWIND: they skip the beginning
of the current track, and then to the previous one. I was thinking that
FORWARD/REWIND would skip within the track and NEXT/BACK would skip to
the next/previous track. Is this something I can configure somewhere?

Also, how can I configure the numeric buttons to launch particular
favourites? Right now KEY_1 etc do nothing apart from registering in
Squeezelite.

Thanks!

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Howto create a linux kernel IR remote keytable for Jivelite on piCorePlayer 5

[ralphy]

First you must disable IR remote control in the web tweaks tab and
reboot before proceeding.

Next, install pcp-lircd from the extensions webgui.  Reboot if needed.

Next, ensure squeezelite is stopped.


Code:

sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/squeezelite stop



Plug in your FLIRC and find the name.


Code:

$ cat /proc/bus/input/devices
  
  I: Bus=0003 Vendor=20a0 Product=0001 Version=0101
  N: Name="flirc.tv flirc"
  P: Phys=usb-2098.usb-1.3/input0
  S: 
Sysfs=/devices/platform/soc/2098.usb/usb1/1-1/1-1.3/1-1.3:1.0/0003:20A0:0001.0001/input/input0
  U: Uniq=
  H: Handlers=sysrq kbd event0 
  B: PROP=0
  B: EV=10001f
  B: KEY=3007f 0 0 0 0 483 17aff32d bf56 0 0 1 130c13 b17c000 267bfa 
d941dfed e09effdf 1cf  fffe
  B: REL=40
  B: ABS=1 0
  B: MSC=10



Start inputlircd from the command line while testing.  I've found the
following options work best.

$ sudo /usr/local/sbin/inputlircd -n "flirc.tv flirc" -m 0 -g -r 300 -c

Run irw and press each key. Note with keycode that is generated for
which key.


Code:

$ irw
  29 0 KEY_C /dev/input/event0
  19 0 KEY_P /dev/input/event0{/code]
  
  For example my slimdevices remote PAUSE key sends KEY_C and PLAY sends KEY_P. 
 The codes from your flirc will likely be different as I'm using an old flirc 
config which I created for use with jivelite on my wandboard, since I don't 
want to reprogram my flirc.
  
  Stop irw by pressing control-C
  
  Create a file mapping of the keycode from your remote to a corresponding 
keycode squeezelite operation.
  
  For example:
  

Code:

$ cat /home/tc/inputlircd.keymap
KEY_C = KEY_PAUSE
KEY_P = KEY_PLAY


  
  The list of squeezelite IR keycodes can be found 'here' 
(https://github.com/ralph-irving/squeezelite/blob/master/ir.c#L103)
  
  Restart inputlircd from the command line adding the mapping file to test.
  
  sudo /usr/local/sbin/inputlircd -n "flirc.tv flirc" -m 0 -g -r 300 -f -c -t 
/home/tc/inputlircd.keymap
  
  
  Start squeeelite with the -i option and -d ir=debug to test if the keys work. 
 You can ignore the error reading the ir config.  It's not needed for inputlircd
  Note that you need at least squeezelite version 1.9.7-1237 for this to work.
  

Code:

$ squeezelite -d ir=debug -i
[11:28:55.788622] load_lirc:242 loaded liblirc_client.so.0
[11:28:55.791797] ir_init:261 error reading config: ~/.lircrc
[11:28:57.951369] ir_thread:199 ir lirc: KEY_PLAY [0] -> 768910ef
[11:29:05.246239] ir_thread:199 ir lirc: KEY_PAUSE [0] -> 768920df


  
  
  Once you're happy with the key map file, backup your pcp config and confirm 
the mapping file is in the backup.
  

Code:

$ tar -tvf mydata.tgz | grep input
-rw-r--r-- ralphy/users35 2020-08-01 11:20:21 
home/tc/inputlircd.keymap


  
  Now in the webgui.
  
  Put /usr/local/sbin/inputlircd -n "flirc.tv flirc" -m 0 -g -r 300 -c -t 
/home/tc/inputlircd.keymap in one of the user commands and also add -i to 
squeezelite various options field on the squeezelite tab.
  
  Backup your config once more and reboot.

Would it be possible to go the default way (jivelite) on a headless

Picoreplayer only supports the flirc usb dongle with jivelite by
default.

However, it is possible to control squeezelite with a usb device that
mimics a keyboard, like the flirc dongle using inputlircd if you
manually install the pcp-lirc extension. That being said, it's not an
simple setup.

If you enabled lirc through tweaks, pcp will launch lircd at startup
which conflicts with inputlircd.  So you must disable IR remote control
in the web tweaks tab and reboot before proceeding. 

Next, install pcp-lircd from the extensions webgui and put
/usr/local/sbin/inputlircd in one of the user commands. Next add -i to
squeezelite various options field on the squeezelite tab.

You will likely need to create a mapping file (-t) and you might need to
add -m 0 and -r 300 in addition to the input device your usb device is
sending key events on.

See the 'inputlircd manpage'
(https://manpages.debian.org/jessie/inputlirc/inputlircd.8.en.html) for
option details.

The power key mappings in jivelite are for LMS and the player only.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Howto create a linux kernel IR remote keytable for Jivelite on piCorePlayer 5

[TheHypnoToad]

I've just finished setting this up and it's working great with a generic
17 key remote. 

I did try it with another remote with more buttons but it just did not
work, it appeared as 'necx' protocol, whatever that is!

So for anyone else trying to get this working, try a different remote if
it doesn't work at first. :cool:

Also, is it possible to have a remote button that cycles thru the
different display modes in the 'now playing' screen, so it goes to VU
meter, then album cover, etc.?

Hey Hinguy.,

But glad it's working now.

Ooooh great! Thank you so much. That was actually the problem :-)
It now works even after reboot! 

I just took it from the very first post by Ralphy, and he also didn't
put the "#" in the first line. Maybe it would be good to change it, so
that no other dummies like me fall into that trap :-)

But again thank you very much!

That's actually a good hint. Somehow the protocols get disabled after
reboot. I attached the output BEFORE and AFTER reboot.
But what causes the protocols to be disabled?

BEFORE:

AFTER:
27832

Hi Paul-

I think it is something deeper than just not being backed up.

usr/local/etc/keytables/jivelite IS being backed up just not working
after reboot

Default SB3 remote does not work after reboot either.

27823

After reboot:-

27825

File uploaded (via GUI) is this and appears to be backed up

The content of my file is:

-table: apple, type: nec
0x87eee50a KEY_UP
0x87eee50c KEY_DOWN
0x87eee509 KEY_LEFT
0x87eee506 KEY_RIGHT
0x87eee505 KEY_SPACE
0x87eee503 KEY_ENTER-

As stated before, the file itself works like this, and even loads into
jivelite after reboot, but doesn't get recognzied somehow. I've also
checked the -/opt/.filetool.lst- in diagnostics and the file
-/usr/local/etc/keytables/jivelite- is also listed in there.
27822

I've also attached a screenshot of the scancodes sent by the white apple
remote.
I am using the upload function and the file is simple named apple.conf.


Thank you very much.

What I forgot to mention. Does it matter what I write into the file? I
mean for table and type?

Currently I typed in:
table: apple, type: nec

Because my testing outputs protocol nec32, could be the problem also
here??

Thank you again

Hi Paul, thank you for your answer. Yes tried various different namings,
e.g. apple.conf, but none worked. I also have checked the folder
/usr/local/etc/keytables/jivelite and could see my uploaded file, but it
still didn’t work.

I will take a look into the .filetool.lst thought, haven’t done that

If you are loading manually, your file must be called 
/usr/local/etc/keytables/jivelite

The upload script will automatically rename whatever you upload to the
above name.   As jeff mentioned, keep spaces out of your upload name.

For backups,  look on the diagnostics page and make sure that file is
listed the section for /opt/.filetool.lst

Just realised I have this problem as well, I have rebooted (from cron)
and now remote does not work.

If i clear the keytables and reload using the WEB GUI even if I ssh in
and do "pcp br" the custom table works fine but does not survive a
reboot

Good day,
I do have the same problem here with my picoreplayer installation. I've
been trying everything so far...at least what came in my mind, but I
still can't get my keytable to "survive" a reboot. I cleared the
keytable using *-sudo ir-keytable -p all -c-*, then uploaded my custom
keytable for the white apple remote, then everything works fine. But
after a reboot the settings are gone. I already tried backing up my
changes using "Main Page" --> "Advanced Mode Operations" --> "Backup".
Also I was trying to figure out saving the keytable to "temp" as
suggested by Mirko, but didn't really understand what he was exactly
doing.

I hope someone could also help me out?

Thank you very much,
Michael

When you upload the file using the Web GUI there must be no spaces and
no special characters in the filename, keep it simple like Xbox.conf

I had this problem as well

I made my own keytables for my Xbox remote, uploaded and it works. But
after reboot the default keytables are loaded. 
Can you tell me how to fix this problem?

Just to complete this one ... yes, JiveLite controlled by ir-remote
worked fine after in-situ update.
My GPIO receiver working with Squeezebox remote without me having to go
through any of the ir-keytable etc stuff myself.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Howto create a linux kernel IR remote keytable for Jivelite on piCorePlayer 5

[ralphy]

Your device is using /dev/lirc1 according to the details from
ir-keytable.  But you can't use it with jivelite.  Jivelite will read
from /dev/input/event1 but you'll need to create a keytable file.

It appears you haven't followed the steps outlined in post #1 as not all
the IR protocols have been loaded and that's likely why -t doesn't print
any scancodes.

mce_kbd appears in the supported protocols but not in the enabled list.

sudo ir-keytable -p all -c

sudo ir-keytable -t

etc.

Hi ralphy

Ok, yes, the kernel support seems to be there.  sudo ir-keytable gives


Code:


  Found /sys/class/rc/rc1/ (/dev/input/event1) with:
  Name: Media Center Ed. eHome Infrared Remote Transceiver (0471:0815)
  Driver: mceusb, table: rc-rc6-mce
  LIRC device: /dev/lirc1
  Supported kernel protocols: lirc rc-5 rc-5-sz jvc sony nec sanyo mce_kbd rc-6 
sharp xmp imon
  Enabled kernel protocols: lirc rc-6
  bus: 3, vendor/product: 0471:0815, version: 0x
  Repeat delay = 500 ms, repeat period = 125 ms
  



 which is a good start.  However,  sudo ir-keytable doesn't give any
response - I assume because it's listening on GPIO 25.  How do we tell
it to listen on /dev/lirc1 instead?

The pcp 4.19.40 kernel includes the rc media driver for your dongle.


Code:

modinfo mceusb.ko | grep 815
  alias:  usb:v0471p0815d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in*



Try removing lirc and reboot.
Confirm jivelite is installed then install IR-tools for jivelite and
reboot.

Run sudo ir-keytable to see if the device is found.
If yes, then try the steps outlined in post #1.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Howto create a linux kernel IR remote keytable for Jivelite on piCorePlayer 5

[psketch]

Hi Guys

I wondered if there was going to be any way to still support USB dongles
with jivelite?  I understand of course things move on, but I see that
with the 5.x setup, I can get my dongle to work if I install lircd
support for squeezelite - i.e. before installing jivelite.  Once I've
done this, I can see the /dev/lirc devices present, so it seems it's
possible to get lircd on the new kernel.  However, once I install
jivelite, i don't see these devices at all.

dmesg is

Thanks for asking this Paul.  I sometimes forget the important details
and have updated the howto.

As Greg mentioned, we provide support for the slimdevices remote as the
default when the IR tools are installed.
We also provide keytables for the JustBoom IR and Sony RMT-D11[67]A
remotes.

hi Paul Webster,

They should work with the default IR install. Through squeezelite or
jivelite depending on configuration.

I tested this many times on the pCP5.0.0 beta and rc. I haven't tested
on the official pCP5.0.0 release yet.

regards
Greg

Does 5.0 contain out-of-the-box support for using official Squeezebox IR
remote (in my case with simple TSOP on GPIO) - or will people have to go
through the keytable set-up steps?

[SlimDevices: Unix] Howto create a linux kernel IR remote keytable for Jivelite on piCorePlayer 5

[ralphy]

 piCorePlayer 5.0 is not GA but we expect it's release soon. *

The 4.19 linux kernel has removed the original LIRC uinput drivers that
piCorePlayer has used since 3.x for navigating Jivelite with an IR
remote control.   The feature is still supported but you need to migrate
your lircd.conf files to an IR keytables configuration.  If you are
using the FLIRC usb dongle, it works the same as in previous
piCorePlayer releases.

IR keytables requires an IR receiver connected to a GPIO of your
raspberry pi.  I'm using these '38 kHz TSOP4838 DIP-3 IR Receiver
Modules' (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00VJNCMBM/).  Check out
'this video' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-f25PeqduU) for info on
creating a solderless harness to connect an IR receiver directly to the
rpi.

So let's get started.

Switch to Beta mode at the bottom of the Main page of the piCorePlayer 5
webgui.

Install Jivelite from the webgui Tweaks Tab->Jivelite Setup, reboot and
configure jivelite.

Navigate to the IR Page from the webgui Tweaks Tab->IR Remote Control
section.

27517

Click Install IR tools for use with jivelite and reboot.

Set the GPIO number in Set LIRC GPIO in number (IR receiver) if you are
not using the default 25, save and reboot.

Connect to your piCorePlayer using ssh or putty and login as the tc
user.

Clear the default kernel keytable and load all IR protocol drivers.


Code:

sudo ir-keytable -p all -c




Code:

Old keytable cleared
  Protocols changed to lirc rc-5 rc-5-sz jvc sony nec sanyo mce_kbd rc-6 sharp 
xmp imon



Note the list of IR Protocols loaded.

Check that your remote is recognized

To test this, we are going to run ir-keytable and press some buttons on
our remote control.


Code:

sudo ir-keytable -t




Code:


  Testing events. Please, press CTRL-C to abort.
  5740.570027: lirc protocol(sony12): scancode = 0xe001b
  5740.570043: event type EV_MSC(0x04): scancode = 0xe001b
  5740.570043: event type EV_SYN(0x00).
  5740.620027: lirc protocol(sony12): scancode = 0xe001b
  5740.620047: event type EV_MSC(0x04): scancode = 0xe001b
  5740.620047: event type EV_SYN(0x00).
  5740.680024: lirc protocol(sony12): scancode = 0xe001b
  5740.680044: event type EV_MSC(0x04): scancode = 0xe001b
  5740.680044: event type EV_SYN(0x00).
  



If you do not see any output as you press your remote buttons, your
remote may not be supported or you have the wrong GPIO configured for
the IR receiver.

>From the Testing events we can determine that my remote uses the sony
protocol

If you have an lircd.conf for your remote from piCorePlayer 3 or 4, make
a copy of it and load it into your favorite text editor.

Delete everything except the key symbols and you should have a file
similiar to this.


Code:

KEY_MINUS 0xD8E # Tape B Fast Rewind
  KEY_EQUAL 0x38E # Tape B Fast Forward
  KEY_UP 0xCC1 # Tape A Fast Rewind
  KEY_DOWN 0x2C1 # Tape A Fast Forward
  KEY_RIGHT 0xC41 # Tape A Forward
  KEY_LEFT 0x6C1 # Tape A Record
  KEY_ENTER 0x1C1 # Tape A Stop
  KEY_ESC 0x9C1 # Tape A Pause



The format of the keytable file is rather simple:

It's a plain text file, the first line contains a header with a
descriptive name (you can choose that rather arbitrarily, but better
avoid special characters, spaces and such) and the remote protocol to
use (the type: - which is very important). After that each line contains
a mapping of remote scancode to Linux keycode. 

If you made a comment with the remote key that corresponds to the scan
code, creating the keytable file is quite simple.

Press each key on the remote and put the scancode BEFORE the key symbol
in the file we just created.

The scancode in the earlier test was for the Tape B Fast Rewind key on
my Sony RM-S70 remote.

Once complete remove all text following the key symbol name.

Next we need to add the header line to identify the remote the file is
for and the protocol; used by the kernel keytable loader.

The completed keytable file.


Code:

table: rms70, type: sony
  0xe001b KEY_MINUS
  0xe001c KEY_EQUAL
  0x100033 KEY_UP
  0x100034 KEY_DOWN
  0x100032 KEY_RIGHT
  0x100036 KEY_LEFT
  0x100038 KEY_ENTER
  0x100039 KEY_ESC



If you are creating a keytable file for a new remote, you can refer to
my 'Jivelite action to key symbol spreadsheet'
(https://github.com/ralph-irving/tcz-lirc/blob/master/jivekeys.csv) to
help identify the jive action to key symbol mapping needed.

Save your new keytable file, I use the remote model for the name, but
you it can be called whatever you like.

Now we need to upload the file using the piCorePlayer webgui Upload
custom jivelite keytables to pCP on the IR page.

Click Browse and choose your new keytable file, select it and click
upload.

If successful you should be able to
