Thanks Ralphy. I've made a bit of progress and managed to compile a version of the Thingiverse Knob software that works well with Jivelite just sending KEYCODE_SPACE, KEYCODE_MINUS, KEYCODE_EQUAL, and MMKEY_SCAN_PREV_TRACK and MMKEY_SCAN_NEXT_TRACK. It's not pretty but it works connected directly to a USB port. 30253 I've been following your suggestion for making it work with Squeezelite. I'm currently testing with a standard wired (not RF) USB keyboard and although inputlircd seems to be running OK the key presses don't seem to be getting through. On the tweaks page it shows LIRC as running, and on the IR page there is a prompt to Install LIRC. What did your lircd.conf and licrc files look like when you were testing the mini usb keyboard? Am I heading in the wrong direction? Thanks for your help.
