LE8 and Keyboard.xml

    So I tried to copy my gen.xml file with all my remote control settings to a new installed LE8 and it completely ignores the changes. Is there something wrong with the way LE8 is processing the keymaps?

    If I create a new one with keymap editor and try to open it I get this.

    <keymap><pvrosdchannels><keyboard><key id="browser_back">close</key></keyboard></pvrosdchannels><pvrosdcutter><keyboard><key id="browser_back">close</key></keyboard></pvrosdcutter><myfiles><keyboard><key id="play_pause">highlight</key></keyboard></myfiles><global><keyboard><key id="rewind">pageup</key><key id="fastforward">pagedown</key><key id="44">contextmenu</key></keyboard></global><fullscreenvideo><keyboard><key id="menu">showsubtitles</key><key id="backspace">stop</key><key id="browser_back">stop</key><key id="rewind">rewind</key><key id="fastforward">fastforward</key></keyboard></fullscreenvideo><virtualkeyboard><keyboard><key id="menu">shift</key><key id="play_pause">enter</key><key id="rewind">backspace</key><key id="fastforward">number0</key><key id="browser_back">previousmenu</key><key id="backspace">previousmenu</key></keyboard></virtualkeyboard><pvrosdguide><keyboard><key id="browser_back">close</key></keyboard></pvrosdguide><visualisation><keyboard><key id="browser_back">fullscreen</key></keyboard></visualisation><videoosd><keyboard><key id="menu">codecinfo</key></keyboard></videoosd><home><keyboard><key id="menu">xbmc.activatewindow(favourites)</key></keyboard></home><favourites><keyboard><key id="browser_back">close</key></keyboard></favourites><numericinput><keyboard><key id="browser_back">close</key></keyboard></numericinput><pvrosddirector><keyboard><key id="browser_back">close</key></keyboard></pvrosddirector><mytvsettings><keyboard><key id="browser_back">previousmenu</key></keyboard></mytvsettings></keymap>

    Here is the gen.xml that works on my LE7

    I'm having similar issues.....
    Upgrading from LE7 to LE8 my keyboard.xml file does not work anymore.

    This is so annoying, I really like the old keymap that stopped the playback before the return. Anyone else seeing strange keymap issues with LE8?

    Are we the only ones having this issue ?

    Is something else changed in the Kodi keymap file ?

    Any other clues ?
