I did not install something for FLIRC or something else on the raspberry pi. The part about the device tree I do not understand, sorry.īut I have installed lirc (not configured), but as you say that will not help to get the FLIRC keys in my python script? I tried to install kodi to see if the remote is working there, but I am not able to run kodi from the RPI over ssh/vnc. I only have a laptop so there is no possibility to connect a screen (I think that that is the problem with kodi from raspbian). So I think the raspberry pi do not recognize the USB, but I do not know what I have to install or configure on the PI itself to recognize the USB as input device? I have tried the same program on my laptop with the FLIRC USB and then it works fine. I just performed a simple experiment with my FLIRC:ġ. I: If#= 1 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=ff(vend.)

Why you should choose Flirc over HDMI CEC The Flirc is a little USB infrared receiver that outputs presses on a remote control button as keyboard input to any app such as Kodi. HDMI CEC is a technology that allows your TV and HTPC to talk with each other over the HDMI cable. In other words, you can use your TV’s remote control to send key presses to the Kodi or any other application that supports libCEC on your HTPC. If your TV is not HDMI CEC capable, then the only practical way to control HTPC with your TV remote (or with Logitech Harmony) is with the Flirc USB IR receiver.
