OSMC Media Center

La Raspberry pi est idéal pour se construire un media center personnel, par exemple en couple avec un NAS.

Remote controls typically use a 940 nm wavelength and this setup requires a receiver diode capable of sensing in that spectrum. It is invisible to human eye but video cameras see it as if it produces purple light.

• Enter MyOSMC > Pi Config > Hardware Support
  • Note the GPIO pins
  • The one we need is gpio_in_pin
• Cable the diode to the board
  • Vin to 3.3V or 5V accordingly
  • GND to RPi GND
  • OUT to pin gpio_in_pin (18 when deployed in 12/2017)
• Go to MyOSMC > Remotes
  • Activate the script for the remote you are using
  • If it doesn't exist, clone a script and make your own or learn one using the irrecord command

You must be in a shell : EXIT » esc-key (default user/pass : osmc/osmc)

Stop the lircd service

sudo systemctl stop lircd_helper@lirc0

User irrecord specifying the correct device node

irrecord -d /dev/lirc0 /home/osmc/lircd.conf

Start the lircd service again

sudo systemctl start lircd_helper@lirc0

During the record you will be asked to specify keys formatted as such KEY_1, KEY_2, etc. A full list https://www.ocinside.de/modding_en/linux_ir_irrecord_list/ (2017)
