Hello,
I designed a IR-HW and a Linux SW for IR remote controls.
This SW creates a virtual keyboard and send keyboard commands to the system / Kodi.
I take the keyboard IDs and names from input.h
Standard key are working like:
KEY_UP
KEY_DOWN
...
Some of the keys does not work.
e.g.
KEY_STOP
KEY_RED
KEY_GREEN
KEY_YELLOW
KEY_BLUE
Is this normal or did I something wrong ?
Regards

Some keys may be intercepted by the OS?

I made some more tests.
With evtest I see all KEY commands, but with xev I do not see them.
What is the difference ?
It looks like the xev and Kodi does not respond to KeyCodes > 255.
But I have no idea why.

I have seen that described before (ie >255).

Not off the top of my head, nor do I have time to search right now sorry.
