I'm mapping a Samsung infrared remore via ir-keymap. I've placed the following file in /storage/.config :
# table samsung, type: NEC
0x70760 KEY_UP
0x70761 KEY_DOWN
0x70765 KEY_LEFT
0x70762 KEY_RIGHT
0x70768 KEY_ENTER
0x70758 KEY_BACKSPACE
0x7072d KEY_PLAYPAUSE
If I run it via ir-keytable -p NEC -w /storage/.config/samsungremote everything works, except KEY_BACKSPACE, which is ignored by Kodi. It won't even be seen by the Keymap editor plugin, and rebooting doesn't change this behaviour.
If I execute killall eventlircd and then ir-keytable -s rc0 -p NEC -t I get the following output, upon each button press:
2988.987027: lirc protocol(necx): scancode = 0x70758
2988.987061: event type EV_MSC(0x04): scancode = 0x70758
2988.987061: event type EV_KEY(0x01) key_down: KEY_BACKSPACE(0x000e)
2988.987061: event type EV_SYN(0x00).
2989.096477: lirc protocol(necx): scancode = 0x70758
2989.096508: event type EV_MSC(0x04): scancode = 0x70758
2989.096508: event type EV_SYN(0x00).
2989.222889: event type EV_KEY(0x01) key_up: KEY_BACKSPACE(0x000e)
2989.222889: event type EV_SYN(0x00).
... so ir-keytable can see it, but it must be getting lost somewhere along the way, when Libreelec translate its input to lirc commands.
I've tried replacing KEY_BACKSPACE with the following, but the result is the same: KEY_BACK, KEY_UNDO, KEY_ESC, KEY_EXIT, KEY_E.
Libreelec is a fresh install (as of yesterday) on an Intel NUC, using the inbuilt infrared receiver.
--------------------
I've rebooted once more, and now KEY_BACKSPACE works for some reason.
