I have the JustBoom Ir Remote and the PDP gaming remote control today [Amazon.com](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FCVG5DX?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) I tried the JustBoom remote first by selecting the remote profile in Volumio. It works since i have the IR sensor going good now. Some buttons works but the other buttons won’t work, so, what’s the deal. Looking at the lirc on installing them since plane A don’t work by installing the plugin and most of the remote buttons don’t work. On here ![edit ir](https://community.volumio.com/uploads/default/original/3X/5/3/53404cfd9070ffcc8ee8b0cd7a51eccb2de7546c.png) where you edit these, how do you edit it for Volumio 3 ---

In the ‘old days’ it could be a mine of information, often with useful snippets appearing in topics that, although I was not interested in them, if I hadn’t looked, I would have missed out. So I still read each new posting (and for someone who has no interest in Tidal or Spotify that’s a lot of reading nowadays!) but I must confess that of late I’ve been wondering if this/these I.R. topics are simply a wind-up, to see how far people will go before giving up. When they first appeared I was tempted to help, but as there were plenty of replies I left them to it. Now I no longer read them, simply open them, navigate to the latest entry and exit. I think you should be congratulated on your efforts to help - you lasted far longer than I would have! ---

Now i get u. I don’t create a New Topic about the same question. When login into volumio through the terminal window, I do use his site [How I installed lirc with IR receiver and remote to Volumio](https://community.volumio.com/t/how-i-installed-lirc-with-ir-receiver-and-remote-to-volumio/382) but when getting down to this line, (sudo nano /etc/lirc/hardware.conf, i hit enter and then ask me to login to volumio and after that is when i get stuck.
