[PLUGIN] IR Remote Controller feedback thread

Any chance for source selection option for IR.

Very basic function missing please, can some help implement this for OLED.

Thanks

Sorry, but I don’t understand what you want…
This plugin page is for installing plugin stable or beta.

No, the functions are limited to the volumio cli commands that were mentioned above by @Wheaten

The basic function possible with Volumio cli.

volumio@volumion2e50:~$ volumio

Usage : volumio <argument1> <argument2>

[[PLAYBACK STATUS]]

status                             Gives Playback status information
volume                             Gives Current Volume Information
volume mute                        Mutes
volume unmute                      Unmutes
volume toggle                      Mutes/Unmutes
volume plus                        Increases Volume of one step
volume minus                       Decreases Volume of one step
seek plus                          Forwards 10 seconds in the song
seek minus                         Backwards 10 seconds in the song
repeat                             Toggles repetition of queue
random                             Toggles randomization of queue


[[PLAYBACK CONTROL]]

play
pause
toggle                             Toggles between play/pause
next
previous
stop
clear

Thank you - got the Answer below from Simon E.
Basically no function yet on the Volumio Cli side!

We need Volumio core team help to implement this function please in the next release as I assume this is very basic core function when first Volumio turns on should show.

Thanks much all.

Is there a way to specify to the plugin to use a USB device for the IR receiver? I’m trying to get the FLIRC usb receiver to work for Volumio, but am not sure how to get it to work.

The Flirc translates IR inputs to keystrokes, and appears to the device (Volumio in this case) as a keyboard.

You’d have to program the Flirc on another device, but you could maybe use something like triggerhappy to link those key inputs to Volumio.

See this link for more details - [GUIDE] Keyboard shortcuts with triggerhappy

Dear colleagues,
could anybody help me with installing IR remote for Argon One set?
The remote is installed according the manual and power button works fine , but what I have to set in IR plugin to see my remote?

add to userconfig.txt:
dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=23

and reboot

@Wheaten Thanks a lot! and what profile in IR plugin?
just gpio settings didn’t work :frowning:
may be I need to setup additional maping between buttons and commands?
I’ve tried JustBoom and NAD AMP 3

No need to setup anything in the config. The mapping for the NAD AMP3 was shared, As I did create them.
NAD AMP3.ZIP (1.2 KB)

Unpack an copy the content to:
/data/plugins/system_hardware/ir_controller/configurations

Select the NAD AMP3 in the dropdown of the IR setting page.
If you added the given line to /boot/userconfig.txt there is no setup in the plugin needed. In fact they should not even be visible.

It should not be necessary to set the gpio pin in “/boot/userconfig.txt” but could / should be done on the plugin’s config page.

I don’t recommend to unpack to that path, because it will be overwritten on an update of the plugin. Instead user-specific configurations for remote controls - in this case the folder “NAD AMP3” with its files - should be stored in “/data/INTERNAL/ir_controller/configurations”.

P.S. The “NAD AMP3” remote configuration is already part of the plugin by default.

Many none computer savvies struggle with this screen. Just adding it to the userconfig.txt solves many questions/frustrations. as in worst case they have to try 3^2 before it works.

I thought so I as I shared the files. But haven’t checked it as it is working for me.

Hm don’t know. Regularly it suffices to set the GPIO pin and leave the other options unchanged…

unfortunately doesn’t work
I’ve replaced NAD files, add gpio to config, but it doesn’t react on remote

please show the output of:
cat /boot/userconfig.txt

As this is working as I have the powerbutton board of the Argon one in my own setup.
only 3 keys are implemented:
PLAY, PREV and NEXT

file and screenshot are below
the parameter is written without anu spaces
just in case I also added a photo of my Argon model

Add your custom config.txt options to this file, which will be preserved during updates

Touch Display rotation setting below: do not alter

display_lcd_rotate=1
display_hdmi_rotate=1

dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=23

yeah but you remote is not the NAD AMP3…

I’ve written abow that my remote and set is Argon One (both the case and the remote)

yep, read it again, you stated you tried them, not having them. Point taken…
Still the Argon one’s IR operates on GPIO23. So that part is OK.

This topic started for the Justboom. Only difference I see your RC looks different.
Unfortunate I don’t have a Justboom RC, So I can’t check it.

But anyway thank you for a try to help!
