Upgrade of volumio breaks NanoSound (no more remote, partial OLED)

[arthurlutz]

After upgrading volumio to 2.599 (August 2nd) LIRC part of nanosound breaks (no more control).

Disable and enabling the plugin and watching the logs I find :

Looking into it.

This might be a problem related to the new kernel. lirc-rpi might be replaced by gpi-ir https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=236240

/usr/bin/dtoverlay gpio-ir gpio_pin=17

seems to work. Produces the following in syslog :

[681096.223178] rc rc0: gpio_ir_recv as /devices/platform/ir-receiver@19/rc/rc0
[681096.223440] input: gpio_ir_recv as /devices/platform/ir-receiver@19/rc/rc0/input0

still not working ,but this might be because I seem to have lost my lirc configuration (not sure yet)

Here is an example of the code that does both dtoverlay : https://github.com/volumio/volumio-plugins/blob/master/plugins/accessory/ir_controller/index.js#L229-L257

Just upgraded to 2.609 and this is still an issue.

Although, a brief look at my notes from last time, doesn't appear to magically fix this, this time... but I need to check again (more slowly / carefully)

Anyway, @nanomesher, this problem still appears to be a problem.

hi all,

This is actually an issue caused by kernel 4.19 upgrade since volumio 2.599.

We have done a permanent fix with a new implementation and awaiting PR to be merged

Before it is merged and deployed to volumio repo, you can install it manually via method 3

Moverover, with this implementation you can adapt your own remote
