Hello. I'm pretty new into this. Searching for a remote, i see a lot of them have a microphone, sometimes labelled "voice search". I dont know if there's any 'local' processing or whatever.
<orzel>
can libreelec use that ? or i shouldn't care ?

[slack] <chewitt> LE doesn’t support voice search, it’s an Android feature that depends upon Google APIs
<mack>
orzel: the tried and true remotes are called "MCE"
<mack>
and infrared-based

[slack] <chewitt> I have a BT remote with the mic button, I just ignore it 🙂
<mack>
the BT remotes just emulate a keyboard, right, chewitt?
<LEBot>
[slack] <chewitt> The one I have appears to, yes (not a strong area of knowledge for me though)
<LEBot>
[slack] <chewitt> rdo: If you believe CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q should be included, make a test build with the option(s) enabled to ensure it resolves the issue
<LEBot>
[slack] <chewitt> If yes, send a PR which includes info on the image size increase with the inclusion
<LEBot>
[slack] <chewitt> VLANs aren’t really a thing our userbase needs, but equally there’s no harm to support it

chewitt: ok, i dont care then :)
<orzel>
mack: er.. i know about mce/ir. But you mostly find 2.4GHz now
<chewitt>
I use a BT remote for the main family system since it's 'paired' and thus only works on one thing
<chewitt>
and a couple of flirc USB receivers on other things; so I can use a couple of standard remotes that work anywhere (for testing)
<chewitt>
lots of the native remotes for ARM boards are crap, or I lost them, or the same codes work on three different boards at the same time
<chewitt>
(there are frequently multiple boards powered on to receive the codes)
<chewitt>
flirc + any IR remote you like = always a good combination
<orzel>
but then i need to teach lirc, right ?
<orzel>
'lirc' reminds me of ... 20 years ago. that's still used ?
<chewitt>
small app .. takes 30 seconds to install, 60 seconds to learn all the core buttons on the remote, and done
<chewitt>
makes the IR remote connect as a USB keyboard
<orzel>
oh.. ok that's a product. nothing to do with old lirc(d)
<chewitt>
f**k lirc = flirc
<orzel>
ts :)
<chewitt>
not the cheapest USB gadget, but definitely one of the more useful things in my collection of stuff
<chewitt>
I'm lucky that Jason (creator) has given lots of them away at Kodi DevCon(s) so I haven't paid for most of them
<orzel>
smart move from him
<chewitt>
the Kodi RPi cases that he makes and Kodi promotes raise lots of $$ for Kodi
<chewitt>
there's also a good back-story.. there's a moderate % donated to cancer research too

chewitt: which small app are you referring to? Mine already works quite good, but maybe I'm missing out still. The 'Flirc USB Downloads' for Linux gives a .dmg (which is for Apple I think?)
<Alver>
dmgs are OSX images indeed
<LEBot>
[slack] <chewitt> I’m a macOS user so the dmg/app is shay I’ve used
<LEBot>
[slack] <chewitt> what I’ve used
<diederik>
ah ok, thanks for the response :)
