piCorePlayer supports Squeezebox and JustBoom IR remote controls. For other IR remote controls, some extra work is required the create and install the configuration files.

The Linux Kernel has basic IR support for some remote controls. Additionally, there is the lirc product.

Squeezelite has a limited number of IR actions builtin.

Jivelite uses IR remote to control cursor movements around the Jivelite screen.

Installation

IR can be installed via the [Tweaks] > “IR remote control” page via the piCorePlayer web interface.
