IR remote at CoreElec

Now my GT-King is a double boot device (CoreElec and Android).

I'm using an universal and programable IR remote to contol the GT-King (and TV, audio system...). Not just to power on and off: I have the 4 direction arrows, plus OK, menu, back, home, volume keys...

IR remote works perfectly when I'm using Android, but does nothing at all when using CoreElec.

It supposed that is possible to configure CoreElec to works with an IR remote, but I don't find how to do that with GT-King IR remote.

Somebody may help me? Thanks a lot.

CoreELEC 9.2.2 newly added support for the Beelink IR remote. This requires adapting the code value of the IR remote control in CoreELEC. You can contact the manufacturer of the remote control to inquire the code value of the remote control and let CoreELEC add the remote control code value

But the manufacturer is you (Beelink).

To learn my IR remote I did use an IR remote from an old Beelink box, that is compatible with GT-King (when Android is running)...

Okay, we will negotiate with the CoreELEC team to add the code value of the remote control

I did it!

I'd found a really helping tutorial and now my IR remote is full operative in both CoreElec and Android. I'd take a Beelink GT1 Ultimate remote as a model.

You'll fond the tutorial here: https://discourse.coreelec.org/uploads/default/original/1X/00c45cd5a77202251eb427fd3299d7a43df8b68a.pdf

Good luck!

Hi, I have GT-King Android version. Is it possible to program an IR remote control (I have a OneForAll - Smart Control 8 model) without an original Beelink IR remote control?

Thanks

I tried several remote controls, impossible to copy the IR!
However it works with my x96 ...
