XBMC.RunScript can execute only python script I think. I think the best would be to rewrote above script to python. To copy file use How do I copy a file in Python? - Stack Overflow and for notification xbmc.executebuiltin('Notification.

Maybe something like

#!/usr/bin/python

import xbmc
from shutil import copyfile

copyfile('/storage/.kodi/userdata/bkpmaps/numbkeyboard.xml', '/storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/keyboard.xml')
xbmc.executebuiltin('Action(reloadkeymaps)')
xbmc.executebuiltin('Notification(Kodi Info, Keyboard Disabled, 7000, http://powerpi.de/wp-content/uploads/powerpi/powerpi_ambi_thumb_off.jpg)')

Could be. I used empty and it worked too Maybe noop is better (worth to check).

An empty action removes the corresponding mapping from default and parent keymaps

This is different from a "noop" action, which disables a button.

Did you installed LCDd addon? If not do it. Then edit file LCDd.conf in addon home folder /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.lcdd/.

If you run LCDd from command line you need to use path to config file

LCDd -f -c /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.lcdd/LCDd.conf

Default keyboard file is /usr/share/kodi/system/keymaps/keyboard.xml.

But I think all keys (or at least problematic ones) should be redefined to work this. Like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<keymap>
<global>
<keyboard>
<blue>XBMC.RunScript(/storage/switch_keyboard.py)</blue>

<left></left>
<right></right>
<up></up>
<down></down>

<!-- and all other problematic keys -->

</keyboard>
</global>
</keymap>

and having python script to switch between keyboard files and execute reloadkeymap.

Maybe you could disable/enable USB port where Flirc is connected?

Follow How to enable and disable a USB port using the terminal in Linux Kernel Version 3.11.1 - Quora

For me this works

LibreELEC:~ # for device in $(ls /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/product); do echo $device; cat $device; done
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-3/product
flirc
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-5/product
STM32 Virtual ComPort
/sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/product
xHCI Host Controller
/sys/bus/usb/devices/usb2/product
xHCI Host Controller

LibreELEC:~ # echo '1-3' > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb/unbind

LibreELEC:~ # echo '1-3' > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb/bind

Flirc is not IR device but keyboard if I'm not mistaken.

You can mount bind folder over.

Just copy new folder to (for example) /storage/emulationstation and then mount over

mount -o bind /storage/emulationstation /usr/config/emulationstation

If folders are not correct adjust them appropriately.

I corrupted Storage partition deliberately when system was running and on next boot I got this message

meaning partition is checked on boot by default.

Filesystem was checked and fixed after that and it was in working state after next reboot.

I think fsck is run on every boot before mounting. But if filesystem is marked clean nothing is checked.

Which Harmony Remote?

I have Harmony 650. That's why you need to check kodi log for correct button name and then you can move forward with the action

I think you key name is backspace and the default action is back?

18:03:32.719 T:140332768456000   DEBUG: Keyboard: scancode: 0x16, sym: 0x0008, unicode: 0x0008, modifier: 0x0
18:03:32.719 T:140332768456000   DEBUG: HandleKey: backspace (0xf008) pressed, action is Back

First enable debug log in kodi, press a button to check which button you are actually pressing. Maybe the name is escape and not back?

I don't think this box has LE support because of locked bootloader.

Seems you just need to use

00 23 * * * /usr/sbin/shutdown

Check if you have cron service enabled in LibreELEC setttings.

Also use full path for shutdown.sh.

MySQLdb for python is available in entware. Too bad we don't have it in LE

Currently I'm using build from March which works very good. So I decided to test latest kodi achievements. And I was really disappointed. I'm very basic user but iptv with pvr iptv simple client is very important for me. And in this area kodi got really worse because switching time increased for my HLS streams. Hope I will see improvement back in next months. If not I will just stay on old build forever
