Dear Developers! I think I have discovered a bug in ir-ctl. My application is pretty simple: I want to change certain settings on my Yamaha surround receiver via a Raspberry Pi. For this, I have to transmit keycodes with ir-ctl to the Yamaha. While this works fine for most keycodes, for some keycodes errors are thrown. Basically, I record the scancodes of all functions that I need with ir-keytable, and later use the recorded scancodes for transmitting, for example: root@raspberrypi:~# ir-keytable -v -t Found device /sys/class/rc/rc1/ Found device /sys/class/rc/rc0/ Parsing uevent /sys/class/rc/rc0/lirc0/uevent /sys/class/rc/rc0/lirc0/uevent uevent MAJOR=252 /sys/class/rc/rc0/lirc0/uevent uevent MINOR=0 /sys/class/rc/rc0/lirc0/uevent uevent DEVNAME=lirc0 Input sysfs node is /sys/class/rc/rc0/input0/ Event sysfs node is /sys/class/rc/rc0/input0/event0/ Parsing uevent /sys/class/rc/rc0/input0/event0/uevent /sys/class/rc/rc0/input0/event0/uevent uevent MAJOR=13 /sys/class/rc/rc0/input0/event0/uevent uevent MINOR=64 /sys/class/rc/rc0/input0/event0/uevent uevent DEVNAME=input/event0 Parsing uevent /sys/class/rc/rc0/uevent /sys/class/rc/rc0/uevent uevent NAME=rc-rc6-mce /sys/class/rc/rc0/uevent uevent DRV_NAME=gpio_ir_recv /sys/class/rc/rc0/uevent uevent DEV_NAME=gpio_ir_recv input device is /dev/input/event0 /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols protocol rc-5 (enabled) /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols protocol nec (enabled) /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols protocol rc-6 (enabled) /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols protocol jvc (enabled) /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols protocol sony (enabled) /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols protocol rc-5-sz (enabled) /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols protocol sanyo (enabled) /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols protocol sharp (enabled) /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols protocol mce_kbd (enabled) /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols protocol xmp (enabled) /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols protocol imon (enabled) /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols protocol lirc (enabled) Opening /dev/input/event0 Input Protocol version: 0x00010001 Testing events.

Nothing is transmitted: root@raspberrypi:~# ir-ctl -d /dev/lirc1 -S nec32:0x857a3a45 error: invalid scancode '0x857a3a45' for protocol 'nec32' As I said, this works fine for most of the keycodes I need, only some cause this error message. All of the key codes that cause the error are protocol nec32 and start with 0x8. My hardware is a Raspberry Pi Zero (latest Raspbian Buster, freshly updated this morning), a homebrew ir receiver with gpio_ir, a homebrew transmitter with pwm-ir-tx and the Yamaha Remote is an RAV423 (shipped with my RX-A3030). IR keytable and ir-ctl both have version number 1.16.3. If you need further information, please let me know. I'd like to thank you already in advance for your efforts, and I wish you Good Luck in finding the problem! Best Regards, Andreas
