have you looked at your keyboard.xml file to make sure it is complete?
when you say you "upgraded", exactly what steps did you take to upgrade?
I built a new HTPC. The old one had XMBC Frodo on Ubuntu 11.something. The dinovo mini was worked flawlessy for years on it.
In the new HTPC, I installed Ubuntu 14.10, and installed XBMC from the official stable repository using
apt-get install xbmc xbmc-standalone
This command installed XMBC (Not Kodi) Gotham 13.1, which is currently the stable version on Ubuntu stable repositories. Everything worked fine, including all keys from my dinovo mini keyboard. The problem is: Gotham 13.1 doesnt play VIDEO_TS folders, which Frodo played pefectly well, with menus and everything. VIDEO_TS folders in 13.1 crashes XBMC immediately closing it. I decided to try Kodi, to see if this problem was solved on it.
Then I uninstalled XBMC 13.1, using:
apt-get purge xbmc xbmc-standalone
apt-get autoremove
And installed Kodi 14.0 using:
add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
apt-get update
apt-get install kodi kodi-audioencoder-* kodi-pvr-*
Kodi worked flawlessy, including playing VIDEO_TS folders as well as Frodo does. BUT my dinovo mini stopped to work correctly. The media keys doesnt work (volume, start, stop). The space bar doesnt play/pause while playing some media. But it works if you call the menu with the M key and then use space to activate the desired option. The volume keys show an animated icon with a bar which increases or decreases, but it doesnt affect Kodi volume, NOR affect Ubuntu volume underneath. But if I quit Kodi, those keys work perfectly well with Ubuntu volume.
Then I read somewhere XBMC 13.2 fixed the VIDEO_TS crash problem, and discoverd Ubuntu Vivid (future version) have XBMC 13.2 on its repository. Then I did the following:
apt-get purge kodi kodi-audioencoder-* kodi-pvr-*
apt-get autoremove
add-apt-repository --remove ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
grep '\sutopic\s' /etc/apt/sources.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vivid.list
sed 's/utopic/vivid/g' -i /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vivid.list
apt-get update
apt-get install xbmc/vivid xbmc-standalone/vivid
With this I was able to install XBMC 13.2 from Vivid repositories, while maintaining my Ubuntu at 14.10. In XBMC 13.2, my dinovo mini got working flawlessy again, all keys working as before, everything perfect, BUT... VIDEO_TS folders started to crash XBMC again.
I then reverted back to Kodi 14.0 with:
apt-get purge xbmc/vivid xbmc-standalone/vivid
apt-get autoremove
rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vivid.list
apt-get update
add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
apt-get update
apt-get install kodi kodi-audioencoder-* kodi-pvr-*
Now I can play VIDEO_TS folders again, but my dinovo mini media keys are dead while playing something. Not exactlly dead, they activate those animated icons overlayed on Kodi, but that doesnt change anything in Kodi, nor in uBuntu mixer.
I will check keyboard.xml, how can I be sure mine is complete ?
UPDATE: I checked my keyboard.xml, it is there, it seems complete (17856 bytes), does not look cropped or corrupted. But I dont have the knowledge to affirm it is complete/correct.
Can you post a copy of your working keyboard.xml somewhere online so I can download it and compare the files?
