and then if i use plugin install command I get:

[code]volumio@volumio:~$ volumio plugin install

This command will install the plugin on your device

No package found[/code]

Sorry guys still lost :stuck_out_tongue:

102

OK, sorry that it didn’t work. But this should do it: wget https://github.com/volumio/volumio-plugins/raw/gh-pages/plugins/volumio/armhf/accessory/ir_controller/ir_controller.zip
I posted this just some days ago https://volumio.org/forum/remote-controller-plugin-and-extra-remote-controll-t10819.html#p53999 and didn’t remember it… :blush:

103

Well that link worked, now I’ve got to figure out the IR part… I believe the ir is on GPIO 17 so I’ll mess around with that… Thanks for the help so far. :slight_smile:

104

To allow setting the GPIO pin jlagden recently made a PR on GitHub https://github.com/volumio/volumio-plugins/pull/272 for a future version of the plugin.

For the time being you can edit index.js and change line 224 to exec('/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/dtoverlay lirc-rpi gpio_in_pin=17', {uid:1000,gid:1000},
Assuming you have extracted the downloaded ir_controller.zip file to ~/ir_controller you can do it as follows:cd ir_controller nano index.js
With ctrl+w search for “gpio_in_pin=25” and edit the pin number as needed.

Save the file withctrl+x y return
Then refresh the plugin volumio plugin refresh and reboot.

105

Instead of editing with nano you can also use sed:sed -i -e 's/gpio_in_pin=25/gpio_in_pin=17/g' index.js

106

For all parties involved, i’m still unable to use either Apple A1156 or A1294 Remotes despite using ver 1.2 of the plugin.
I’m using a Vishay diode connected to the recommended pins. I’ve tested it with a multimeter, everything is fine.

Xbox One remote and Samsung remotes are working fine on my setup. I’m just having the issue with the apple remotes.

Regards

107

I have no Apple remotes so I can’t test but there have been some posts indicating that the lircd.conf file(s) might not work for some 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). If exchanging the lircd.conf file with the ones you can find in the linked posts should not help I would recommend to just record the lircd.conf file by yourself, e. g.

irrecord -n -d /dev/lirc0 ~/A1294_lircd.conf

You can test the learned keys with:

irw

If that works copy the A1294_lircd.conf to /data/plugins/accessory/ir_controller/configurations/Apple Remote A1294.

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

Then select the remote from the plugin’s configuration page and click save.

108

I was able to make a working .conf file for the A1294 thanks to your instructions.
My A1156 template works but with a few oddities.
I made a conf file for the Hauppauge remote already used within OSMC as well.

Last question :
Many remotes have numbered keys. Is there a specific command that i could invoke and link to the digits in order to call a specific radio URL ?
For instance, The 1 button would play BBC Radio 1, 2 for radio 2, etc…

Thanks

109

Great it works and thanks for your feedback.

Regarding your “last question”:
There is no specific single command I’m aware of. But it’s doable with a script. Have a look at https://volumio.org/forum/remote-controller-plugin-and-extra-remote-controll-t10819.html#p54043

110

Is it possible to use the plugin and change the settings for the keys like the old way with manual lirc installation?

Which file should I use with the plugin?

With lirc i used:
nano ~/.lircrc

Thanks BR Markus

111

Hi Karine-Johanne,
you could use the Rest API to call a playlist and put the desired radio station in that playlist.
I did it like this.

prog = irexec
button = KEY_1
config = curl -v “localhost:3000/api/v1/commands/?cmd=playplaylist&name=1”
end

if you do this for each button 1 till 0 you only have to change the playlist when you need to change a radio station.

I find this very usefull for daily use.

cheers,
Dennis

Hello.
Can u do some IR controller like has BlueSound?

  1. Must have some free IR comtroller
  2. Choose some button
  3. Search some function which I want to controll on BlueSound
    4)Click on it ať BlueSound
  4. Click on The button on IR Controller
  5. Use this button for this function
    It is nice - can somebody prepare something like this for Volumio?
113

Hi everybody,
my problem is that I can’t avoid double commands with lirc.

I have RPi 3B+ with Allo Boss DAC and I just purchased a RemotePi Board to power on and off but moreover to control Volumio with IR Remote. Note that the BOSS only exposes some GPIO pins so I had to make some hardware change:
I connected
+5V to +5V
GND to GND
and I changed as follows data transmission:
GPIO14 of RemotePi to GPIO24 of DAC (for the shutdown signal and TxD for the serial communication)
GPIO15 of RemotePi to GPIO27 of DAC (for the shutdown signal and RxD for the serial communication)
GPIO18 of RemotePi to GPIO17 of DAC for the IR receiver

I followed the instructions on the website so:

  1. I somehow installed the hardware and as the following configuration to use GPIO 17 instead of GPIO 18 for the IR receiver (as stated here msldigital.com/pages/suppor … -plus-2015) seemed not to work i DID NOT DO it

    [code]In most modern OS distributions (tested in OpenElec and Volumio) this should be achieved by editing the config.txt in the root of the SD card and changing the line

    dtoverlay=gpio-ir
    To
    dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=17

    for older OS distros that still use LIRC the change would be:

    dtoverlay=lirc-rpi
    To
    dtoverlay=lirc-rpi,gpio_in_pin=17[/code]
    I instead only modified /data/plugins/accessory/ir_controller/index.js at line 221:

    221 exec('/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/dtoverlay lirc-rpi gpio_in_pin=25', {uid:1000,gid:1000},
    I changed gpio_in_pin=17 as my IR sensor is on GPIO 17 as suggested earlier in this thread, and this worked.

  2. I installed the shutdown scripts manually as stated here msldigital.com/pages/shutdo … or-volumio , not using the RemotePi plugin, modifying and/or creating
    /etc/rc.local
    /etc/irswitch.sh
    /etc/shutdown.sh
    /etc/systemd/system/irswitch2.service

  3. I configured the RemotePi Board to power on and off using my remote with some button press

  4. I configured my remote to navigate the menus installing the IR Remote Controller 1.2.0 plugin and manually configuring it as described here msldigital.com/pages/support-for-remote.
    Basically I created my lircd.conf e lircrc in my configurations folder.

now the problem is that I have double commands even if I set repeat and delay oprions in lircrc.
irw also displais this behavoiur.

I performed a dmesg and this is the output:

What should I do?

ATM I have no access to my Raspberry so cannot check but I guess: No.

Don’t know if it is related, but your dmesg output shows under-voltage problems. Could you try running the system with a sufficient power supply and have a look if the issue remains?

Maybe post your lircrc and lircd.conf, too.

115

So I thought I had one problem, now I discover I have two. :frowning:
I would exclude the PSU: it is the Raspberry offcial one, I guess it is of good quality.

I did a couple rebooting and the situations seems not so good:

Now I am a bit worried: I bougt the Allo Boss and the original PSU in order to have the best sound quality and stability possible.
I bought the RemotePi ti have the “Comfort” of remote control and (safe) powering on and off. But power now passes through more “wires and components” :confused:

It seems like I should renounce to one of these features…

maybe I missed something, but I give it a try…

I would need the use case of IR operation in the other direction with the raspi as a IR sender. I have a Volumio raspi, a smartphone using Linn Kazoo and an older, but very good integrated amplifier I want to use for Volumio, but for CD player as well.

My target would be to have the volumio raspi as one input to the integrated amplifier. The raspi is playing with fixed volume, and the volume is controlled with the Kazoo app: adapting the volume forces the Volumio to send an IR command to the integrated amplifier to volume up or down.

Is there a way to get there, even with smaller adaptions on ssh level on the volumio…?

Hello! I have trouble getting a fresh Volumio 2.598 Image with the IR Remote Plugin 1.2.1 to work on a Pi 4 B. Apparently lirc won’t start. The plugin is installed and running.
Here is

Is this a incompatability with the Volumio 2.598? Thanks
