Coming from the Windows Media Center I have customised my IR scancode and keymapping tables. I’ve done some cleanup and rearranged the keys to match the Windows Media Center functions as closely as possible. I have three buttons who don’t work in this configuration:
Store this in ~/.kodi/userdata/Lircmap.xml or /usr/share/kodi/system/Lircmap.xml.

<!-- This file contains the mapping of keys (gamepad, remote, and keyboard) to actions within XBMC -->

<!-- used in the current window's section. Note that there is only handling -->
<!-- for a single action per button at this stage. -->
<!-- For joystick/gamepad configuration under linux/win32, see below as it differs from xbox -->

<!-- The format is: -->

<!-- To map keys from other remotes using the RCA protocol, you may add <universalremote> blocks -->
<!-- In this case, the tags used are <obc#> where # is the original button code (OBC) of the key -->
<!-- You set it up by adding a <universalremote> block to the window or <global> section: -->
<!-- <universalremote> -->
<!-- <obc45>Stop</obc45> -->

<!-- Note that the action can be a built-in function. -->
<!-- eg <B>ActivateWindow(MyMusic)</B> -->
<!-- would automatically go to My Music on the press of the B button. -->
