That appears to work fine. I'll be playing with some keymaps and see how it goes on some of the more complex stuff like macros. Thanks so much.

nickr

change the keymap in the userdate/addon_data dir

/storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/driver.remote.sapphire/sapphire.keymap

if you mess it up you can just delete that file and it will copy the default one again.

Yeah I noticed that. Cheers for this.

Hello,

I installed the Alpha release, how could I install this add-on?

Best regards.

Download the addon pointed to by lrusak, transfer it to your kodi machine. Install addon from zip.

Or you can just wait, the add-on has been merged and will be built and pushed to the repos soon.

Thanks for the great work.

Kind regards.

Thanks,

I installed the addon.

I reboot the device and the module is loaded:

Code

# lsmod | grep sapphire
sapphire                7175  0

But the keys works as worked before install the addon, I change the "nano /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/driver.remote.sapphire/sapphire.keymap" file but nothing happens.

Need I configure or disable the original module?

Thanks and regards.

If you change the keymap you will have to restart the computer.

Thanks Irusak,

I change the "Clear" key to work as "C" this way:

Code

# cat /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/driver.remote.sapphire/sapphire.keymap | grep CLEAR
SAPPHIRE_CLEAR           KEY_C            NO_REPEAT                    ## Contextual menu

I reboot the computer, but nothing works. If I push the CLEAR key in the remote it doesn't do nothing. If I push the C key in the keyboard it show the contextual menu.

I am doing something wrong?

Best regards.

In the "dmesg" I have this:

Code

# dmesg | grep sapphire
[    6.825862] sapphire: version magic '4.6.3 SMP mod_unload ' should be '4.7.0 SMP mod_unload '

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards.

The add-on need a version bump so it's rebuilt against the newer kernel in 7.90.004. It's a simple job; should be done in the next day or so.

Need I download and install it? Or it will be updated automatically?
