There have been some posts indicating that the lircd.conf file(s) might not work for some Apple remotes (https://volumio.org/forum/remote-controller-feedback-thread-t6668-30.html#p33776 and https://volumio.org/forum/remote-controller-feedback-thread-t6668-50.html#p41445).

You might try to use the lircd.conf data Ezaul posted some time ago (https://forum.volumio.org/remote-controller-feedback-thread-t6668-110.html#p64358). I suggest to not follow the instrcutions in that post but instead taking these steps:

  1. Stop the plugin from the UI.

  2. Enable SSH access (https://volumio.github.io/docs/User_Manual/SSH.html) and connect to Volumio via SSH.

  3. Create a file A1294_lircd.conf nano A1294_lircd.conf

  4. Copy the data from Ezaul’s post and paste it into the new file.

  5. Save the file by closing nano by typing “Ctrl+x”, “y” and “Return”.

  6. Copy the new file A1294_lircd.conf into the folder /data/plugins/accessory/ir_controller/configurations/Apple Remote A1294

cp "A1294_lircd.conf" "/data/plugins/accessory/ir_controller/configurations/Apple Remote A1294/lircd.conf"

Be aware that this will overwrite the original lircd.conf file for the A1294. Feel free to make a backup… :wink:

  1. Then start the plugin from the UI, select the remote from the plugin’s configuration page and click save.
