Hello!
Some days ago I completely reinstalled my HTPC, now with Linux Mint Cinnamon 17.3, and Kodi 16.1~git20160424.1410-final-0trusty. Reason were problems to get a WLAN usb stick to work, the remote was working fine. Now, I have the problem that many buttons on my MCE remote (Hama 52451, also known as VRC-1100) do not work anymore, or at least not as they should. I have been searching and reading and fumbling for many days now, and I was not able to find a solution.
Before (Linux Mint 17 and the Kodi version that came with it), the remote was working flawless in Kodi. And all that without Lirc or something like that, it came out of the box. But the remote only worked inside Kodi, outside it did nothing (which was fine for me, for "OS operations" I have a keyboard with touchpad). Now, the remote is being recognized in the desktop, can move the mouse cursor and so on. In Kodi many buttons worked, but many did not. After some time, I was able to fix this (keyboard shortcuts).
But I was not able to find a solution for the "i" button, which now works as "right-click" instead of doing what it should.
As it has been working before, there must be a solution (I stumbled upon documents, where people claimed otherwise). And I found an ancient (6 yrs) thread in the kodi tracker, where a guy had exactly that problem solved.
What needs to be done to solve the problem?
TIA,
Wil
