lircd support? - Githubissues

adrien-github commented 3 years ago

Hi, Thanks for your docker, it works like a charm at home! Kodi was the last thing not dockerised on by pi.

I usually use kodi with an IR remote, but it didn't work.

So I added 2 more packages to your Dockerfile : lirc and lirc-compat-remotes.
I also added a new device in my dockerfile (not sure if it's mandatory with the privileged:true option) :

    devices:
      - /dev/fb0:/dev/fb0
      - /dev/vchiq:/dev/vchiq
      - /dev/lirc0:/dev/lirc0 # <-- for IR remote

Then once the container is created, I have to manually launch lircd in root :
```
docker-compose exec  -u root kodi lircd
```

And my IR remote works!

I don't know how to launch lircd directly at startup (maybe with supervisord?), but if you could, it would be a great improvement !

Kind regards

Adrien

Hi, I just propose a pull request to improve the lircd support : https://github.com/rimago/rpi-kodi/pull/4

I am using your docker since a month: it works perfectly!

Kind regards
