Okay, here are an litte Tutorial to fix this LIRC Bug for an Wetek Hub and his Original Remote.

  1. Connect with SSH to you Wetek Hub

Create the file “remote.xml” in /storage/.plexht/userdata/keymaps/
and enter this:

<keymap>
	<global>
		<remote>
			<back>Back</back>
		</remote>
	</global>
	<FullscreenVideo>
		<remote>
			<back>Stop</back>
		</remote>
	</FullscreenVideo>
</keymap>

But here are the Original Remote are not really good. It is lagging and the range are lower than 2 meters. With more than 2 meters some commands are not working, you have to press more times…

Very interesting thread I have to say. I need a little device like this, thought about Pi3 or Odroid C2 but this cute little thing seems like a very a good option :slight_smile: Thanks for your posts about this :slight_smile:

I have OpenPHT embedded running successfully on this. Works great for playback and have Flirc for my Apple remote. However, there is a maddening problem.

The Hub shuts itself off (goes to red led) seeming randomly. This can occur after periods of inactivity after the tv and avr it’s connected to are off, and I’ve also seen it occur when I turn on the tv and avr and switch to the correct input source. I’ve turned off all cec in the Hub but it still happens.

Do I have a Hub with a defective power issue, or is there a bug in OpenPHT embedded 1.8 that may be contributing? I’d hate to have to get the box replaced given that it shipped from Europe.

Seems to have gotten it fixed - disabled the built-in IR receiver, which was getting confused with my Panasonic remote commands, I think. Now I just rely on the Flirc USB exclusively.
