04. Adding a second remote

Abstract

SoC Amlogic devices can have two remote controllers work in tandem.

Amlogic

Basic instructions

1. Create remotesecond.conf

   run touch remotesecond.conf

   edit and construct the file following the remote.conf instructions.

2. Add the line

   factory_infcode = 1 # set as second remote

   to remotesecond.conf

3. Initialize

   run remotecfg remotesecond.conf

NOTE: some devices may require the second remote to be called during startup. To achieve this, add the following to autostart.sh:

 #!/bin/bash 
 (/usr/bin/remotecfg /storage/.config/remotesecond.conf)&
 exit

IMPORTANT: The second remote configuration file must reside in the same directory as the first one.
