I just got a new Onkyo AVR with Onkyo R393 receiver which does support HDMI CEC.
With the Pi Connected directly to the TV, CEC works as expected and I was able to navigate with my TV remote.

Now, with Kodi on Pi connected to my AVR and then to the TV, both TV remote, and Onkyo remote refuses to work.

Odd enough, looking at the debug logs, Kodi seems to see the button clicks from the remote but does not act on it.

Code:

What could be the problem ? I've tried multiple HDMI cables as well since that seems to be a suggestion in other threads.

Make sure CEC on the Onkyo is enabled, it's called RTCL or something similar. I don't think the TV remote will work with the Pi connected to the Onkyo, at least not on my Yamaha. If the Pi is connected to the TV the TV remote works the the Yamaha does not, vise versa if Pi is connected to the Yamaha.

yeah, CEC is enabled on the Onkyo, In fact, in the logs, I can see that both TV remote as well as Onkyo Remotes are detected, but is not acted upon.

If still actual I am using the old Onkyo TX-SR606 and it works well. I mean both remotes (Sony TV an AVR) are working in Kodi. Raspi is connected to AVR through HDMI2 (as VCR). HDMI CEC enabled on both TV and AVR. TV connected to AVR through HDMI OUT+Digital Optical Audio. Digital optical audio assigned in AVR. In TV menu I see both devices TXSR and Kodi.
