I'm trying to enable IR remote support to operate Kodi but i have found a really weird problem: according to irrecord, several remote keys send the same code.
I'm using an AverMedia RM-N7 remote (should be using Nec protocol) which is not available as lircd.conf file so i need to map all keys using irrecord utility.
Using irrecord runs fine and it looks like it detects all keys without problem.. but reading the file you can see it assigns the same exact code to several remote buttons which is clearly impossible...!
lircd.conf as created by irrecord: https://paste.kodi.tv/eriwiloyik
So i tried using ir-keytable utility which detects all buttons with different codes, but all these codes are different from the ones detected by irrecord!
Codes detected by ir-keytable: https://paste.kodi.tv/wunikozugi
How is this possible?
One more question for the next step: i want Lirc to run Kodi, if it's not running, when i press KEY_POWER and close Kodi (but no system shutdown) if it's running. Is it possible to do so?
I see there are some mappings between Lirc codes and Kodi functions as Lirc does not operate Kodi directly.
Thanks for your help
