Control KODI with infrared pilot
#1
Hi

It is possible to configure KODI to control with external pilot over IR mounted in DVB-T stick..?

My setup
Windows 10 x64
KODI 18
DVB-T stick: Realtek DTV (DVB-T stick with chip RTL2832U) https://p.globalsources.com/IMAGES/PDT/B...r-card.jpg
IR: mount on stick and visible as HID device in Windows Device Menager
pilot: Logitech Harmony 300 https://support.myharmony.com/en-us/300

I see that IR mounted on DVB-T stick receive scan codes from pilot (in Realtek_820T_64.1.801.2012 driver folder) is software HIDIR_Edit.exe
when I push ex. Vol+ button on pilot > get IR Code: 0x20 0xf0 0x40 0xbf

So it is possible to somehow get this to work with KODI..?

.... ok... so I find the solution;-)

1. Open Logitech MyHarmony app
2. connect pilot to PC with USB cable
3. reset pilot config because Realtek HID IR_Edit app don't receive all buttons codes
4. open Realtek HID IR_Edit and push some button (check picture below)

  - define Key String name
  - set keyboard key to map or combination (ex. Shift + K etc.)
  - click Save Item
  - repeat for next buttons

5. Save to IR map file
6. Restart PC

if You want to check if everything works as it should check with this app:
