ping @sraue the master of remotes :)

just in case, @lysin coold you please post the result of

dmesg | pastebinit
lsusb | pastebinit

thanks

sraue commented 9 years ago

i ordered such remote and should get this the next days, if we cant solve for beta2 then i try to solve this for beta3

lysin commented 9 years ago

I had to revert it back to stable version as it was unusable for me.

I'm going to try and run it from a USB and post the results later.

Cheers

fritsch commented 9 years ago

That's the pain of a beta ... backup highly suggested. Thanks for reporting, but take meassures before replacing your stable media center in the living room.

For what it's worth I have this remote (VRC-1100) and haven't had any problems with the 6.0 Beta or other custom builds from master - the remote works fine with a RPi2 and Revo3700 (Nvidia_Legacy).

@fritsch I did backup my system, I only had to downgrade to previous stable version. Everything is looking fine so far ;)

I will try and replicate the issue as soon as I get home.

lysin commented 9 years ago

Here you go:

dmesg http://sprunge.us/GIKN

lsusb http://sprunge.us/XZJH

If I kill "eventlircd" as suggested by someone at openelec forum, some more buttons start to work (like enter, back, FF, RW, and some shortcuts. Not fully functional tough.

Hope the info is helpful. If you need anything else, feel free to ask.

Worked fine with my Harmony 300 before the upgrade. The only buttons that worked for me after the upgrade were the four arrows.

Happy to provide any other details that might help.

That's how the VRC-1100 rolls...

This is the output from cat /proc/bus/input/devices for 05a4:9881, my "Ortek Technology, Inc. IR receiver [VRC-1100 Vista MCE Remote Control]" according to lsusb:

So one keyboard, one mouse... and then a virtual device, eventlircd.

The VRC-1100 is fully functional with OE 6 Beta on a Revo 3700, so maybe the lack of eventlircd on your systems is the key?

lysin commented 9 years ago

@sraue

Any news regarding this issue? Did you managed to pinpoint the origin of the problems with this remote?

Cheers

fritsch commented 9 years ago

It seems it's a personal problem for now. As it works for all the others :-)

Edit: For completeness I use this remote together with my cubox i4 - all fine.

lysin commented 9 years ago

@fritsch

Maybe it has something to do with a specific build or the kernel and hardware.

It's not working for a lot of people. You can see here, here, here and here .

I'm running x64 Generic build on a i3-3225.

Cheers

EDIt: This bug is not replicated in arm devices.

fritsch commented 9 years ago

To my knowledge @sraue has bought this remote already and it was working for him, too. All with issues, please provide

dmesg | pastebinit (after boot) lsusb | pastebinit

and so on, as requested earlier.

Edit: Then unplug; wait; replug; wait and provide the same output again.

It needs some udev rule as the input name changes ... @sraue ^^ this true?

so @not4smurf it stops working after replugging it?

not4smurf commented 9 years ago

It does not work for me with 5.95.1 at all. Well, just the 4 arrow buttons work - nothing else.

I just did the unplug/replug because you asked for it...

stefansaraev commented 9 years ago

did you enable "Remote control sends keyboard presses" in kodi input settings ?

EDIT: meh, this option is now gone in isengard. whatever. pls ignore

not4smurf commented 9 years ago

did you enable "Remote control sends keyboard presses" in kodi input settings ?

I don't have that option under Input Devices, just the options to enable mouse/touchscreen and joystick/gamepad. I assume that means Kodi does not think I have a remote, which makes sense as my "remote" is effectively a keyboard..

polojoe commented 9 years ago

The keys OK, start and enter produce the same irw event KEY_ENTER. the keys yellow and Live produce KEY_T the keys blue and DVD produce KEY_M

key description http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=220677&pid=1949375#pid1949375

Is this behavior expected?

lysin commented 9 years ago

@polojoe Yes, this is normal behaviour for this remote. It always worked like that.

Cheers

not4smurf commented 9 years ago

I've just updated to 5.95.2 and my remote behavior is exactly the same - that is, the four arrow buttons work, but nothing else.

New dmesg: http://sprunge.us/SeDH New lsusb: http://sprunge.us/hFfI New /proc/bus/input/devices: http://sprunge.us/dbNW

Happy to run any tests etc. that may help.

MilhouseVH commented 9 years ago

Are you testing without any custom remote.xml/keyboard.xml etc.?

not4smurf commented 9 years ago

Are you testing without any custom remote.xml/keyboard.xml etc.?

Correct. This remote has always just worked for me.

not4smurf commented 9 years ago

And, this is the Official build - I was on the DA build.

Also, just ran irw /run/lirc/lircd and pressed a few buttons - it seems to be producing the expected codes.

MilhouseVH commented 9 years ago

Can you upload a full debug log? Press a few of the working/non-working buttons so we see how they're handled. You should be able to run irw at the same time, the output of which might also be useful (annotate the irw log with the actual buttons you're pressing).

not4smurf commented 9 years ago

Sure - here is my irw output:

kodi:~ # irw /run/lirc/lircd
69 0 KEY_LEFT devinput
69 0 KEY_LEFT_UP devinput
6a 0 KEY_RIGHT devinput
6a 0 KEY_RIGHT_UP devinput
1c 0 KEY_ENTER devinput
1c 0 KEY_ENTER_UP devinput
e 0 KEY_BACKSPACE devinput
e 0 KEY_BACKSPACE_UP devinput

I forgot to start irw so the output above is missing a LEFT and RIGHT that will be in the debug log.

I rebooted in debug mode, pressed the above keys then connected using Kore and turned off Debug.

Kodi seems to have KEY_ENTER mapped to "Fullscreen" and KEY_BACKSPACE mapped to noop...

MilhouseVH commented 9 years ago

Which buttons do KEY_ENTER and KEY_BACKSPACE correspond to on your remote, as I'm not able to reproduce your irw output (perhaps not surprising, as my system works, or I'm simply pressing the wrong buttons!)

You said previously:

Worked fine with my Harmony 300 before the upgrade

Might it be worth testing with your real Hama VRC-1100, rather than the Harmony?

On my system (real Hama VRC-1100, RPi2, no custom remote.xml etc.), this is my irw output for LEFT, RIGHT, OK and <-- buttons (the last one being the left-pointing arrow button below the STOP button):

69 0 KEY_LEFT devinput
69 0 KEY_LEFT_UP devinput
6a 0 KEY_RIGHT devinput
6a 0 KEY_RIGHT_UP devinput
160 0 KEY_OK devinput
160 0 KEY_OK_UP devinput
ae 0 KEY_EXIT devinput
ae 0 KEY_EXIT_UP devinput

And now these same buttons in Kodi:

I'm assuming the KEY_ENTER and KEY_BACKSPACE codes might be the result of your OK and <--- buttons, but you're not getting the correct codes for these buttons, so it looks like irw (or eventlircd?) is screwed up somehow, and it's not the mapping in Kodi that is the problem (as Kodi is simply being fed the wrong codes).

Have you tried a completely "clean" system - it might be worth (temporarily) renaming the .config, .cache and .kodi directories then rebooting, or alternatively a totally fresh installation, and seeing if the irw behaviour is still the same.

not4smurf commented 9 years ago

Thanks for all this!

I don't have a "real" Hama VRC-1100, I have a "HOLTEK PC receiver" - this is a cheap generic MCE look alike from eBay. I jumped in this thread because mine was behaving the same way as the original issue. The very first thing I said was "My remote is a..."

Anyway - I no longer have the original remote. I programmed the Harmony to send the same signals by teaching it every key press.

You are correct - my KEY_ENTER and KEY_BACKSPACE are from OK and <--.

Reading through this again got me thinking... my HTPC is actually and old laptop so I thought I would see what key codes the builtin keyboard keys would generate. irw did not record anything. This is probably obvious to anyone who knows a bit more about this than me... Now, remembering that my remote is not a real remote (it's a strangely shaped USB keyboard) I tried kodi:~ # systemctl stop eventlircd - and now everything works!

Is there some way that OpenELEC/Kodi should recognise that a remote is actually a keyboard and not use eventlircd?

Edit - I did also try the clean install by renaming out those 3 directories. That did nothing other than confuse me for a minute or two because my box no longer had the hostname I had set for it and I couldn't get to it :-)

polojoe commented 9 years ago

@lysin in oe 5.0.8 the keys produced different events, this changed with oe 6 beta builds

tergo commented 9 years ago

Same issue, VRC-1100 and Nvidia Legacy 5.95.1/5.95.2. Some keys work but others don't.

Hi all, i have same problem with my LOGITECH HARMONY TOUCH i have 2 intel nuc (DN2820FYKH internal IR, and DCCP847DYE with external speedlink IR Receveir) and it does not work in beta 1 and beta 2 (OK, INFO, BACK... dont work) just move key work.

@polojoe You're right. I'm sorry, I misunderstood your question.

Same issue here, since beta 1 some keys don't work. Zotac AD06, with "PHILIPS MCE USB IR Receiver- Spinel plus".

dmesg: http://sprunge.us/OaCb lsusb: http://sprunge.us/NEXS

jcjeffe commented 9 years ago

I have a MCE Remote clone with USB dongle which previously worked in Windows and Openelec until V5.95.1. I reverted to V5 but when 5.95.2 arrived I installed on spare computer to see if the problem was cured but it is still there.

The main missing keys are "OK" and "Back" but I think "FF" and "FB". The arrow keys and "Stop" work as do "Play" and "Pause". I don't use many other keys but "OK" and "Back" are essential!! I am using the Legacy Nvidia version.

My remote was working fine for years...

lysin commented 9 years ago

Any news on this subject? Kodi 15 release is almost here and I really need this remote to work.

Thanks to all

not4smurf commented 9 years ago

I just upgraded to 5.95.3 and no change for me.

My work-around (since someone thought it would be a good idea to cripple systemctl...) is:

ln -s /dev/null /storage/.config/system.d/eventlircd.service

zuzzurro commented 9 years ago

I can report that 5.95.3 changes nothing for me too. I can also report that the ln -s workaround improves the situation on my zotac box. Not all keys are back though..

fatez commented 9 years ago

Same problem here! it's so hard to get the remote? in a HTPC?

Is someone working on this issue? Is this considered a release blocker? Do developers know now what is the underlying bug? Is there anything else we tester could do in order to help?

The silence on this side of the fence is deafening..

tergo commented 9 years ago

@lysin I suggest the title be changed to "MCE remotes not working" because this affects a range of MCE remotes, not just VRC-1100.

I'll give it a go later on when openelec 6 stable is released. Hope a fix is ready for it then...

kenzodeluxe commented 9 years ago

@zosky While it makes things better, for me the layout isn't exactly the same as before (like context menu). Is that different in your case?

zuzzurro commented 9 years ago

In my case the most relevant key that does not work as before is the "windows" button. I don't know the precise name. DOuble checking each key will take more time than I have available right now.

zosky commented 9 years ago

@kenzodeluxe its not perfect, but its workable now. with lircd disabled the hama is treated like it was before (as a keyboard/mouse) ... just need to change some of the defaults

for right click / left click ... i like info and context ... cp /usr/share/kodi/system/keymaps/mouse.xml /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/mouse.xml nano /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/mouse.xml

i changed <leftclick>leftclick</leftclick> to <leftclick>contextmenu</leftclick> ... and rightclick to info

@zuzzurro 'windows key' is not one i use. im guessing its the same as a win-key on a keyboard ? you'll need to copy over the default keyboard.xml (like i did the mouse.xml) and figure out what to edit.

EDIT: i decided to make my windowsKey "Show only watched, unwatched or all videos" <leftwindows>SendClick(10)</leftwindows>
