    Description:

    With Kodi v.18 Leia dated 11/8/17 and before, RetardedGoat's Control4 driver worked perfectly; all functions as defined by the driver worked on the handheld remote (SR250) including cursor, play, pause, stop, etc. Starting with KODI v.18 dated Nov 9 2017, including LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-9.0-Milhouse-20171109224730-#231109-g1b05386 and LibreELEC-Odroid_C2.arm-rb-leia16, many of the important remote commands stopped working, including:

    -Enter/Select

    -Play

    -Pause

    -Menu

    The left/right/up/down cursor, Stop, #s, Info, and Guide buttons still work.

    Commands issued via KORE (Kodi's stock phone app) on a Samsung phone work perfectly for all Kodi v.18 versions I've tested, before and after Nov 8 2017.

    RetardedGoat's driver has not been updated since initial release, at least not that I'm aware of. Control4 2.10.0 OS has not been revised since well before 11/8/17.

    Any further info needed, let me know. Thanks, Y
