I already described my problem here:
But as I did not get any answers I want to try a more general approach.
How exactly does a new USB HID device become a new input device for Kodi?
And how can I find out what exactly is happening?
In the meantime I figured out that
- all devices appear in LSUSB (Mouse, F10 Deluxe, F10 Pro)
- but only F10 Pro makes it to log entries in debug kodi.log (maybe because it delivers sound in- and output and joystick? see log below)
- mouse and F10 Pro work, F10 deluxe doesn't but did earlier
I found this:
https://wiki.libreelec.tv/configuration/ir-remotes
but it's rather IR focused, so it does not help much.
Not sure: does ALL input go through eventlirc or only IR?
how do I debug Eventlirc?
thank you very much
