Hi,
I've been using Kodi 17 for a while, using Debian's package and it worked fine but I wanted to get better support for HEVC and 4K with VAAPI so I did compile Kodi Leia yesterday using the git repo (I'm at commit
3af76f1).
I know that using Kodi's master branch or nightlies comes with risks and is unsupported, but I just wanted to know if there is any ongoing Lirc problems right now?
I can't make Lirc work with this version, whereas it worked fine on Krypton.
Irw works fine:
htpc ~ $ irw
000000037ff07bdf 00 LEFT mceharmony
000000037ff07be0 00 DOWN mceharmony
000000037ff07bed 00 CHANNELUP mceharmony
000000037ff07bdb 00 MENU mceharmony
But when I start Kodi (even with --debug), I don't have any log line about lirc (absolutely none) and pressing any button on the remote doesn't have any effect on the UI nor the log.
I tried some stuff with no success:
systemctl stop lircd-uinput.service
systemctl disable lircd-uinput.service
then restart lircd and kodi: nothing changed
Adding this in kodi-standalone script (I'm using Kodi in standalone mode and /var/run/lirc/lircd exists):
export LIRC_SOCKET_PATH=/var/run/lirc/lircd
and even changing the $APP line with:
LIRC_SOCKET_PATH=/var/run/lirc/lircd $APP
Then restart Kodi. This had absolutely no effect.
So, did something changed for Lirc in Leia or have I done something wrong?
Maybe there's a compilation option but the new build tutorial doesn't state any ./configuration step.
Also, Kodi never stops when I stop lightdm, a gentle kill on kodi and kodi-x11 doesn't kill kodi-x11, I need to issue a kill -9 kodi-x11.
If anyone has a clue about that, I'd appreciate.
Thanks!
