Hello,
I’m running a RPi2 with OSMC 2016.01-1 connected to a Yamaha RX-V779 and I want to control it with its remote in BD DVD scene (don’t know what that means but my BlueRay player cooperates that way). Therefore I tried numerous ways but for now I’m running in circles. The good thing is that Debug-Logging (under ~/.kodi/temp/kodi.log) indicates incoming commands:

But now the bad side. Not a single remote key is doing anything on the screen but if that means to map the keys by hand that would be just fine. Yet the Keymap Editor addon does not work. It always times out when I set the global navigation of Move Left by pressing buttons on the remote. Tipping the left cursor of the keyboard sets Move Left to “61570” - whatever that means. Anyway the addon should be working.
Then I struggled through some cmdline work by copying the original keymap file to userdata:
cp /usr/share/kodi/system/keymaps/remote.xml ~/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml
Under keymap-global-remote I tried replacing “Left” by “left” as the log uses lowercase aswell as “a9”. Even though rebooting between each try the result stays the same. (is a reboot always neccesary btw?)
For now it looks like Kodi/OSMC has some Ignore CEC flag that I am unable to find. Could you give me a hint?
Thank you so much in advance. That’s an issue which bothers me for so long
