      Hi,
      I succesfully installed Kodi 18.2 on RetroPie and it is working. Now I want to add IR-Remote controller support.
      I connected an IR-Receiver on GPIO18 and installed LIRC 0.9.4c and configured /boot/config.txt by adding
      dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=18. I stopped lircd daemon sudo systemctl stop lircd.service and sudo systemctl stop lircd.socket. I run mode2 command sudo mode2 -d /dev/lirc0 and pressed some buttons on remote. It showed pulses. Then I recorded some key presses in a conf file by running sudo irrecord -d /dev/lirc0 lircd.conf.
      I rebooted Pi but remote controller seems to be not working. It doesn't react key presses on remote controller.
      What would be the problem?
      Thanks.

        I have no experince with lircd but you can setup a remote with your phone pretty easily using "kore" androind app. i personally use https://www.amazon.com/Backlight-Wireless-Controller-3-Gsensor-Projector/dp/B076BRLHZT/ref=sr_1_15?keywords=usb+remote&qid=1577910374&sr=8-15 works well on windows, pi and kodi, works no setup required.

            If you're using Raspbian Buster, then check out this issue - https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/2993 if you still want to use lircd.
