<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">Hi Folks!</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">Have a Raspberry Pi
4, 4 GB, which I’m using as a FrontEnd – seems to work fine. What
I would like to do is be able to use the television’s remote
control instead of a keyboard. Have used MythTV and before that
Mythbuntu and always used a keyboard, so this is my first time
trying
to use a remote.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">TV is a Seiki,
found
a LIRC configuration file at
<a href="https://gist.github.com/gisikw/a2ffa7f45efa0d9c3bee">https://gist.github.com/gisikw/a2ffa7f45efa0d9c3bee</a>
. AFAICT I’ve configured it in correctly as <i>irw</i><span
style="font-style: normal"> seems to output correctly “</span><span
style="font-style: normal">000000040be52ad
00 KEY_OK seiki” when I tap the “OK” key; the ‘00’ will
increment if I hold the key.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><span
style="font-style: normal">Problem
is nothing happens when I’m in MythTV – menu just sits there </span><span
style="font-style: normal">with
pressing OK, Up, Down, Left… random keys. </span><span
style="font-style: normal">At
this point I have the Pi plugged in to a monitor up here in the
Computer Room (the TV is downstairs). </span><span
