(For example did you know that X is stop ? Or that TAB toggles fullscreen mode, or F8 is mute ?) This is very time consuming and I spent a lot of time customising mine to get it working just right.Ī GPIO IR receiver will also allow you to learn any remote but doesn’t have the whole extra abstraction layer (and additional complexity) that the Flirc presents.Īnother factor is that a Flirc is rather expensive compared to a GPIO IR receiver - about 5 times the price. To do this learning you need to plug the Flirc into a Mac/PC and go through a learning process with a custom application with your remote and decide which keys should be sent for which buttons, which requires some familiarity with all the keyboard shortcuts in Kodi. The Flirc is great and I have one myself on my Mac Mini installation of Kodi, however there is a lot of set-up involved as the Flirc itself is a learning device that can learn the IR code from any button on any remote and will then output a keystroke as a virtual USB keyboard. Personally I wouldn’t use a Flirc in this application. If that would be possible then I might need only the IR receiver for the Pi, which I can probably pick up at the local computer shop tomorrow morning… is there a way to “teach” OSMC/Kodi the codes it produces when the appropriate keys are used? I think that what I need are at minimum: Would it be possible with an IR receiver on the Pi to make any of these work as a Kodi remote? I.e. I have a number of remote controls available, for example the remotes for an old Nokia VCR, a Sony DVD player, a Motorola Set-top TV box and a Topfield PVRt recorder. I think I will have to wait for a couple of weeks until I am back home again, was too late in thinking about this alternate control remote… Audio controls download - Kodi for Mac OS X 19. Unfortunately I have not found one in any store near me and I have a time slot that does not allow waiting for on-line purchases to be delivered.

Motion sensor allows mouse to be controlled by waving the ansmission distance up to 10 meters. Compatible with Google Android Smart TV/Box,IPTV,Networked set-top Box,Mini PC,HTPC,Windows,MAC OS,PS3, Projector etc. By Googling I have seen some examples of remotes that use a USB connected receiver (sometimes on a short cable) that plugs into the Pi and then “just work”. 3 in 1: 2.4G wireless Keyboard and mouse, 6-Axis Somatosensory and Infrared remote control.
