IR remote ctrl stop working

[Pixxel]

Hi,
I use IR remote from "https://github.com/Larvitar/MoodeIrRemote". When I don't use the IR remote control for a few minutes, it doesn't work until I adjust the volume in the GUI Moode player. It is as if the system has put the process to sleep or something. What could be wrong in Moode? Thanks

You should ask the author of the MoodelrRemote project. It doesn't appear they hang out in this Forum. (The announcement of the project is the only post they ever made here.) I suggest you create an issue on the referenced GitHub repo.

If you don't get that working, a system I knocked up works fine with moOde: https://poldieblog.blogspot.com/2020/12/...-pi-i.html

hi, 
the problem will be somewhere other than in the IR remote control settings. I used LIRC + R_attenu earlier (because allo relay attenuator) and everything worked until moode version 7. After the 7 series was released, then it stopped working stably. It was as if moode froze the processes after a moment of inactivity. I spent many tens of hours solving the problem, but nothing helped. It always behaves the same:/

Every time Moode updates I need to do something to get the IR to work again. On in place updates check rc.local and config.txt. On full re install I wrote a script that might help. Istart by putting my files into a sudirectory of home I call PC. The lirc reinstall line became critical around moode 5.0.

Code:

Setup Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y lirc


sudo cp /home/pi/PC/home/pi/.lircrc /home/pi/.
sudo cp /home/pi/PC/boot/ssh /boot/.
sudo cp -r /home/pi/PC/etc/lirc/* /etc/lirc/.

# do final change for ir remote and re install
sudo sed -i -e "\$adtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=18" /boot/config.txt
sudo apt-get install -y lirc
sudo sed -i -e "\$isudo -u pi irexec -d &" /etc/rc.local
sudo reboot

It is quite clear that after updating Moode you need to check the LICR settings, rc.local, etc. I always do it.
The problem is that when I start Moode, the remote control works. But after a few minutes, the remote control stops working. Then I have to go to Moode's GUI, change the volume. Then the remote control works again for a few minutes. The remote control will then stop working during short periods of inactivity. And still around. Not usable.
It would be very nice if in moode there was a possibility to set up a remote control natively. In my opinion, remote control is one of the most important features of an audio system.
