[LE13 Amlogic] problem with ir-keytable: -c -w works, but -a reports an 'invalid parameter"

ir-keytable -c -w /storage/.config/rc_keymaps/ru880_vcr-code131.toml works:

Read ru880_vcr-code131 table
Old keytable cleared
Wrote 30 keycode(s) to driver
Protocols changed to nec

This is the ouput of ir-keytable:

I am not sure if Default keymap: rc-odroid is right or if there should be reported the just configured custom toml. Anyway, the remote works (tested with evtest using meson-ir on /dev/input/event3)

Event: time 1793725093.577050, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 28 (KEY_ENTER), value 1
Event: time 1793725093.577050, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------

Event: time 1793725093.866751, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 28 (KEY_ENTER), value 0

But after starting eventlircd and kodi nothing happens in kodi when I press any key. There is nothing in the kodi debug log.

When I try to make the keymap permanently with ir-keytable -a /storage/.config/rc_keymaps/ru880_vcr-code131.toml -s rc0 I get an error:

Invalid parameter on line 1 of /storage/.config/rc_keymaps/ru880_vcr-code131.toml
ir-keytable: Failed to read config file /storage/.config/rc_keymaps/ru880_vcr-code131.toml

I don't see anything wrong in my toml and if so, I assume that this would have been reported by ir-keytable earlier when using -c -w  instead of -a.

thank you, I looked for hours on the screen but did not see it

Do you have an idea why Kodi does not react to the remote? I have already vdr (from https://github.com/Zabrimus/VDRSternELEC) running (while kodi is stopped). The vdr OSD reacts now fine to remote key presses. Kodi should be able to react to /dev/input devices with or without eventlircd, but no success. Even the Kodi debug log shows no remote key presses. Keyboard works fine.

yes, the rc_maps.cfg is fine now and the keytable is set permanently. I use the lastet nightly amlogic LE13 for Odroid N2.

I saw the thread you mentioned but found no explaination. At a second look I think #5 could be important.

You had to map linux input codes (like KEY_MENU) to those kodi remote button codes via a Lircmap.xml and then map the kodi remote buttons to kodi actions in remote.xml.

I will have a closer look into this... sounds very difficult. I already tested CoreELEC CE22-no. It is also bleeding edge, but there is no problem with linux input event codes.
