RE: Trouble getting lircd to work as expected, also is something else handling IR input?
I fully understand. Anyways, it turned out to be a "bug" in kodi, somewhere, where there are too few values for key events (I think it was 255 - that is, unsigned byte), so a lot of keys that are "out of range" of that byte in kodi, end up as 0x0000, so they're all treated like the same 0x0000 key - they are in fact indistinguishable for the following kodi procedures.
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues/16834 One way was to manually change type to integer or some like so, and build it yourself, but at that point, I just refused to be setting up build environment, and trying to build kodi in my free time, next 3 weeks... Another way was to change scan codes that gpio-ir was sending to system, but, again, I had no clue how to do that and was too tired and demotivated. I haven't checked yet, but it seems that new kodi are being released around this time, so I have tiny little hope, that this was fixed - at least for anyone attempting to do same as me. (the issue is still opened though...) So, yes. Here is the reason I failed, Thank you thought, that you was willing to guide me through at least this point. At least, I learned some new things along the way... Maybe another time... |
