Play/pause button stock remote r28

[Henkdevries]

Does anyone know how to get the play/pause button to work, especially within spmc?
It's the button between home and back button.
Do i have to edit the remote .kl file for this?
Or only keymap in spmc? I tried this via an addon but didnt recognize the button.
Does anyone knows the id of this button?
At this point i use the menu to pause and play a movie.

It's the button between home and back button.

Thanks!

tronssmart has two remotes the old one and teh new one the new one has 13 buttons all in incluiding the updown left right. If the remotes working properly for everythign else your probably going to have to edit a few keys

Same problem

I have the same above mentioned problem. And so would like a fix for it. I have a tied few things in key mapper in spmc but no luck.

Same here. The play/pause button doesn't work. I've latest remote with latest 111 firmware.
I've sent a mail to geekbuying (i think the button is broken) and they send me a new remote...they already shipped remote, i'll write my experience with new remote.

I installed the 111k rom it does appear the button really just isint working because they havent mapped it right in the
kernel/drivers/input/remotectl/rk_pwm_remotectl.c file.

ssh in or adb either way doesnt matter which one you use.

type this

echo 1 > /sys/module/rk_pwm_remotectl/parameters/code_print

press your pause button on the remote

type
dmesg

at the end youll get this

[ 658.160784] GET USERCODE=0xff00
[ 658.186562] RMC_GETDATA=bd42

you remote button is working per say its just the kernel isint done right for the pause button


so the right scan code for pause is bd for this remote and it works properly in the firefly kernel I compiled myself contact tronsmart with this info to fix it on the official rom.

I tested your terminal command, and i confirm that the play/pause button give me your same result.
I also installed key-test.apk and the play/pause button works only if i press and hold the button. However it is unusable. In spmc/kodi, if i press play/pause button it doesn't take effect; if i hold the button it works; if i hold the button one moment plus of necessary, the video pause and play after a moment. I must apply the perfect timing on holding button, but it's very frustrating.
Any idea? This appen with original remote and new remote. Are they faulty or the problem is in the kernel?

This is the new remote doing this. It's just an over site on there part. Its the way the remote is defined in the kernel it's not a problem with the remote itself. Nothing will really help this accept putting the right remote code in on the kernel. It's one line of code for the button define. I'm not sure if tronsmart is aware of this or not. As for the old remote it won't work at all from what I've read. I think the original remote was the same setup as the beelink remote

i opened a topic at tronsmart forum:

hope they read and reply/fixes this problem.

grant2258 can i mod the kernel to include that button? or is it very difficult?

[grant2258]

Good at least it will get fixed I'm not registered on the forum there. It's not easy to fix per say. Unless you compile your own kernel . You in this case would need to find the location of the variable and change it there . If they don't fix it ill have a look over it. And see if I can find where it's stored in the kernel itself

ok, i'll wait for reply by tronsmart. i'll update this forum if i'll have news. thanks for now

Well i looked into it a bit and the good news is the Tronsmart kernel is compiled right. Its the mapping file that needs fixed. Since you know how to get into the box im assuming you know how to upload a file.

the file you need to edit is

/system/usr/keylayout/ff680000_pwm.kl

all you need to so is change the following.

original
key 402 TV_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE

fix
key 402 MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE

save upload reboot and enjoy your pause button

[adonebert]

Yes, i installed a ftp server and a ssh server. I'm at work now, but i'll test you suggestion and report here. Thanks for now!!!!
