USB Remote Control

[Frapicore]

Dear Comunity, please could you advise how to setup an USB remote control in piCore player? I have bought the remote below:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015SO37SY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Is there any chance to make it work?

Thanks!!!

There might be other relevant threads - but look for ones related to USB remotes not GPIO-based.

Thank you for your quick answer. I have read the thread you kindly shared. I have put the dongle on my rpi 4 with pCp but the remote is not working. I have tried the remote with my TV and it is working on the TV.

How can I enable the remote control, as it does not seem working at the moment with pcp? Reading the forum, I have tried to install Jivelite and IR remote control (just install without set them up), but nothing happened. Any advice? Thanks

Did you see anything when you checked the dmesg outout?

Where can I check the dmesg output? I am so sorry for my basic skills

See the example in the thread that I linked to.

Did you reboot with the USB part already attached?

Your should not need lirc for this because your remote almost certainly emulates a keyboard.

That looks very similar to the example linked to ... for example:

[ 9120.112297] hid-generic 0003:1915:1047.0005: input,hidraw1: USB HID v1.01 Keyboard [ZY.Ltd ZY Control] on usb-0000:01:00.0-1.3/input0

I suggest removing LIRC and restarting pCP and then try again to see if any of the remote keys have any effect at all on Jivelite.

I forgot to mention, as you advised I have uninstalled IR Remote control and I left just Jivelate. After the reboot nothing changed. I have tried to put a keyboard as well. Also the keyboard is not working.

Is it possible I have to active something, maybe in LMS? just an idea.......unfortunately I have not found a lot info for this tutorial.

Any suggest?

Thanks again!!!

Should work with a regular keyboard

[Frapicore]

If the remote and the keyboard are not working, is it possible I jumped one step ......

I have tried the keyboard and the remote with jivelite uninstalled and with jivelite installed. That is just what I have done so far.

I have had a look at the interesting links you have passed, but I do not know from where I have to start, also because the remote is not working at all in my case.

Do you think I should do something more than installing jivelite by pCP tweaks? Cheers

USB Port Not Working?

I use exactly the same remote, which was just plug and play on my installation.

The fact that your keyboard does not work either suggests a USB port issue. Which port on the RPi4 are you using? Have you tried other ports?

[Frapicore]

Thank you for your help too and for confirming the same remote is working.

I am using an usb DAC, it is working in every usb port. I am using a rpi 4 2 gb ram. So USB seems working fine.

I do not know if it is important or not, but I am not using any external display, I am just using my browser to display picore on my laptop or phone.

I just would like to control the volume, stop/play, skip songs with my remote, without using my phone or laptop.

do you have a screen connected?
