I've got an old Antec HD160 HTPC case that I'm using for my Kodi frontend to MythTV. It came with an MCE remote (the common silver one). However, the IR receiver is a weird one. It's by a company called IRTrans. It's so old, they stopped supporting it ages ago. However, I got it running by disabling LIRC and setting up the IRTrans drivers. I can run the test command and it shows the button presses correctly. However, since Leia, it doesn't work in Kodi.
Since I'm running on openSUSE Leap 15.1, and not using LIRC, most of the solutions I've found on here do not apply (afaict).
Using logging in Kodi, it looks like Kodi is seeing some of the remote button presses, but it's not interpreting them correctly. Here's a logfile I made after pressing the following sequence of buttons on the remote:
<first I pressed each number button twice, in sequence - 1, 1, 2, 2, etc.>
Then I pressed Up, up, down, down, left, left, right, right.
Here's the logfile I uploaded immediately after that:
Logfile
At the end, I see a bunch of Keyboard: Scancode lines. So it looks like it's recognizing the commands, but doesn't know what to do with them. The problem is that I don't know how to get those inputs into a .xml config file.
Does anybody have any clue on where I should start?
BTW, using this setup (IRTrans drivers with the config files for those drivers, no LIRC, and doing nothing in Kodi) it worked fine before Leia. Of course, now it doesn't.
