No one else with the unresponsive issue? I’ve run irw to check for commands and it does seem like lirc is receiving the commands when it’s unresponsive

hey guys - here's my setup:
- rasplex 3.1
- GPIO reciever
- harmony remote (emulating windows MCE remote)
this IR remote setup works OOB which makes my life really easy.
there's only one issue I have: after an extended period of non-use, it takes 5+ minutes for the remote to start working again. does anyone else have this issue?
I don't know much about Rasplex 0.3.1 which I have only setup a couple of days but the remotes using latest versions of Plex for iOs and Plex for Android are not very responsive at all and may well be the issue that you have
Edit 1: I am probably talking out of context because my remotes are not IR - are they. Sorry despite my stars I know nothing about GPIO or IIRC
Edit 2: Not completely out of context. With my remotes, Rasplex burst into life some minutes after I pressed button on the remote from within Plex for iOs - I pressed all buttons. minutes later Rasplex went to the top level initial screen of my the Media Library with column of library sections etc to select on the left
I think I've got this working now, but the only remote I have to test it with is an old white Apple remote with just 6 buttons. Left, right, up and down all work, and the menu button works as a back button, as I've told it to in my Lircmap.xml file. The only problem is that pressing the play/pause button to select doesn't work - it does SOMETHING though (the background on the UI sort of shudders), so I think it's just confused by my trying to use one button for 2 functions.
I can't readily find another spare remote to test / repurpose for this - can anyone confirm if my theory is right or if there's a way to make the apple remote work in this situation?
It should be really nice I / we can find every key-setup in the xml file, the keys that you spec there are not all of the keys who is out there.
Do you have some full spec? Thanks.
So, just bought a RPI2 to use with rasplex and my apple remote but can't get it to work!
Followed the guide in the wiki of rasplex and it clearly gets the commands when recording but plex just doesn't care at all!
lirc is clearly loaded:

So everything seems to be working on that side, it's just rasplex that completely ignores the remote!

Have you followed step 5 & 5.1? https://github.com/RasPlex/RasPlex/wiki/GPIO-IR

yup, /storage/.plexht/userdata/Lircmap.xml=
KEY_UP
KEY_DOWN
KEY_LEFT
KEY_RIGHT
KEY_PLAY
KEY_MENU
and /storage/.config/udev.rules.d/99-lircd.rules=
UBSYSTEM=="lirc", DRIVERS=="lirc_rpi", ENV{lircd_driver}="default",
ENV{lircd_conf}="/storage/.config/lircd.conf"
The only thing that quite didn't work was when I ran the irrecord -d /dev/lirc0 ~/.config/lircd.conf
The first time I just got dots, then I accidentally closed my ssh window, next time it worked as it should with me entering the different key names followed by pressing them. The thing is that my /storage/.config/lircd.conf didn't have any keys recorded in it so I just copied some from another file I found for the same apple remote.
Ah right, scrap that... removed the .conf file and ran the recording again and now it works! Finally!!! replacing my old macbook pro with the rpi2, feels like it'll save me some cash on electricity to :D
How you do volume up with Apple Remote?

Not sure you can, Apple remote only supports 7 buttons, Up, Down, Left, Right, Enter, Play/Pause, Home.
