This guide describes how to get an Apple Remote (A1294 silver model) to work in OSMC version 2018.08-2 (Kodi 17.6) for Raspberry Pi 3 model B+.

I bought a very cheap TSOP4838 IR receiver on eBay.
The IR receiver pins are (bulge facing you, pins down, from left): 1 - OUT, 2 - GND and 3 - Vs
The Raspberry Pi pins I used are: 01 - 3.3V, 06 - GND and 12 - GPIO18
Connect IR receiver pin 1 to RPi pin 12
Connect IR receiver pin 2 to RPi pin 06
Connect IR receiver pin 3 to RPi pin 01

Now edit the /boot/config.txt to enable and configure lirc (Linux Infrared Remote Control) :

$ cd /boot
$ sudo nano config.txt

Add as last line:

dtoverlay=lirc-rpi,gpio_in_pin=18

I think that can be simplified to dtoverlay=lirc-rpi as it seems that lirc_rpi auto-detects the IR receiver on GPIO18.

Activate the apple silver configuration:

$ cd /etc/lirc/
$ sudo rm lircd.conf
$ sudo ln -s apple-silver-A1294-lircd.conf lircd.conf

Now reboot

$ sudo reboot

The Apple Remote should now work with OSMC!

The steps below are not necessary, but could help you verify that everything works:

$ dmesg | grep lirc
