Why is the current release of LibreElec (9.0.1) changing previous remote behaviour?

    I have been using Kodi since back when it was XBMC Dharma and have always used the 'Microsoft with Teletext' remote and HP MCE remotes with all the systems in the house. Until upgrading to Librelec 9.0.1 from 8.2.5 I have never edited a keymap but now the key on every remote that was previously triggering the context menu, guide button, now triggers the PVR guide had as required me to create a gen.xml file in Userdata/keymaps with the below entry:


    <keymap><global><keyboard><key id="50">contextmenu</key></keyboard></global></keymap>


    Why has this happened?

    It's not a big deal, but, I am wondering why and what else has changed that I haven't noticed yet.

    This is due to a bugfix in Kodi's keymap. The "EPG" / "Guide" button is meant to bring up the EPG (for live TV), as that's what most people expect. Not quite sure why it had been mapped to "context menu" before.

    so long,

    Hias
