So I answered my own question but thought I would post back here for others. This does appear to be the version. I was looking at what most folks here were running at it seems to be some version of 13.x I went ahead and upgraded and now my "OK" button functions properly. So if anyone runs into a similar my experience was to upgrade from XBMC/SPMC 12.4 to 13.3.2 (again this is the SPMC fork)

I got a 'cheap' Harmony 350 and a FLIRC. I've got some tuning to do with remapping of keys within kodi as you have all done, but so far most things work. I even mapped cntl-alt-del to the 'power' button.

Livin,
I made a few tweaks in the Harmony mapping, but none were essential to the XBMC keyboard.xml working as is. However, rebooting the FTV requires that it be rooted.

Livin-
The confusing part of the Harmony setup is that while you have to initially use an iOS or Android app to get it going, in order to really customize the buttons, you need to use the MyHarmony app on a computer. From there, you can do things like customizing a button to return to XBMC from the FTV home screen, and making the channel up/down buttons scroll your lists by page. I've also added a few buttons that control my AV receiver functions while on the FTV/XBMC activity. Of course, you can also unmap any button that you'd prefer to do nothing on a particular activity.
I've got mine working extremely well, to the point where even my wife (a real technophobe) loves it.

I'm not familiar with the Touch, but if it works with the MyHarmony app similarly to the Smart Control, then you'd do it like so:
To scroll by page, you'll need to have a keyboard.xml file with <Global> having <rewind>PageUp</rewind> and <fastforward>PageDown</fastforward >. Then in MyHarmony app (assuming it works the same on the Touch), you would assign the channel up to rewind and the channel down to fast forward. You'll also want to override those in the keyboard.xml <FullscreenVideo> section with <rewind>Rewind</rewind> and <fastforward>FastForward</fastforward >, so that the controls behave as desired when you're actually watching a video.
These names may have changed in Kodi- I'm still running Gotham, so I haven't researched it, but I seem to remember seeing that somewhere.

If you have a bluetooth-enabled harmony, I don't think you need to use any 3rd party apk.
Just add a "Logitech Harmony keyboard" (don't remember the actual name) device to your harmony, and pair it with the AFTV.
I didi it vs. an ADT-1 and works like a charm.

I'm confused. If I add a "Logitech Smart Keyboard" (could it possibly be the Microsoft MCE Keyboard?) to my Harmony remote, how do I then pair it with the AFTV? If I try to discover a new controller, the AFTV doesn't see anything, and I can't figure out any other way. What am I missing?
