ast question would be the remote. Only the power button works on this. Is there a way for me to fix this and use the remote.
You need to use remote.conf from original Android firmware. Please read the first post, there is information how to do this. If you don't have a ZIP file with Android firware for your box and you run LE from SD card, you can use instructions from this post: LibreELEC
I'm using a cheap wireless remote (like this)
everything works ok, except the power button is not recognized:
kszaq is it possible to add this key in LE?
Or is it only possible in kodi master?as far as I can tell keycode translations are handled in "LinuxInputDevices.cpp"
Some time ago after a lot of consideration I decided not to modify key maps in kernel nor in Kodi. You should modify your remote.conf to make the power button work - look for "142" in the last column and change it to "116". Or you can wait for the next build as I have prepared a script that will automatically remap buttons from custom remote.conf.
