Hi,
Has any body tried using a remote with Volumio. I am planning to buy the below remote to use with Volumio but need some inputs or guide on how to configure this remote or any remote to use with Volumio. Please advise…
I don’t have this remote myself, but you could check the following.
As you know, JustBoom and Volumio are working together to bring new amazing functionalities to our beloved music player. They are sponsoring some new plugins, and the first one is the IR Remote Controller:
This Plugin allows to control Volumio playback with an IR Remote and it works out of the box with JustBoom IR Remote , Odroid Remote and Apple remote. Controls: Play, pause, mute, volume, next, previous, seek, repeat and random
First of all, thank you JustBoom for supporting Volumio and spon…
keep in mind that volumio 3 has not yet officially implemented the remote plugin.
Tracking the status of migrating plugins for Volumio 3.
– Some categories where changed, so plugins might be found else where.
– Some plugins will work with some node_modules rebuilding (mostly all GPIO stuff)
– Other plugins that involve audio playback will need rework for AAMP

and if you have issues – Volumio 3 Plugins store issues and discussion
these remotes are currently supported.

Sorry Michel I got the remote today but to my surprise I dont even find the plugin on Volumio - IR Remote Configuration…How do I get this option
if you run volumio 3 then it is not in there yet … I also indicated a post above.
I don’t know how handy you are with linux but you could also install it manually in volumio 3.
check this before you want to manually install infrared module in volumio 3.
Hi @gvolt , I’m wondering what is missing for the approval, and if there is any relevant issue still pending.
I tried to manually download and install your last commit, rel. 3.4.6 , and it seems to work flawlessly.
Thank you so much for your job, which I appreciated a lot.
Btw , for sake of completeness and for benefit of all : I use a common USB Microsoft IR Receiver; no need to act on any GPIO pin, and not any additional configuration either. Just plugged the USB IR Receiver and it work…
