In my other thread i have problems with the irtoy. I also found a Zotac IR Receiver.
It seems this one likes to behave like a keyboard.
I found two sites with a udev rule. Tried both. It does not seem to work for me.
root@raspberrypi:/etc/udev/rules.d# cat 10-local.rules
# http://ben.periton.co.uk/2012/06/config ... e-control/ (http://ben.periton.co.uk/2012/06/configuring-the-zotac-zbox-remote-control/)
#SUBSYSTEM=="usb" , ATTRS{idVendor}=="0471", ATTRS{idProduct}=="20cc", SYMLINK+="remote", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/sbin/initctl --quiet emit --no-wait ir-ready"
# https://sourceforge.net/p/lirc/git/ci/d ... guide.html (https://sourceforge.net/p/lirc/git/ci/d3d4f7a8b033c3e4ce354bf566874dd68bae3233/tree/doc/html-source/configuration-guide.html)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0471", ATTRS{idProduct}=="20cc",
MODE="0660", GROUP="lirc",
RUN="/bin/sh -c 'echo -n $kernel:1.0 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbhid/unbind'"
After a reboot i see
[ 54.859074] input: PHILIPS MCE USB IR Receiver- Spinel plus as /devices/platform/soc/3f980000.usb/usb1/1-1/1-1.5/1-1.5:1.0/0003:0471:20CC.0001/input/input0
[ 54.912086] hid-generic 0003:0471:20CC.0001: input,hiddev0,hidraw0: USB HID v1.00 Keyboard [PHILIPS MCE USB IR Receiver- Spinel plus] on usb-3f980000.usb-1.5/input0
I Assume this whole "hid-generic" line should dissapear? What will be the device name?
Another solution would be a working alternative. Anyone ideas? I have a couple (simple) requirements:
* small, casing, should be placed under the TV
* must have a usb cord
* receiver is enough
* if it works with the ancient lirc versions is a plus
* easy to order in Holland
