v17 kodi-wiiremote not working
#1
I recently upgraded one of my box to kodi 17 (ubuntu 16.04) from eden (Ubuntu 12.04). and I cant seem to get my wiimote working

I installed kodi using the following commands

Code:
sudo apt install kodi kodi-eventsclient-wiiremote

everything installs perfectly fine.

I have kodi auto start up using lightdm

Code:
sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/10-kodi.conf

contents are:
Code:
[SeatDefaults]
user-session=kodi
autologin-user=kodi

I have the kodi-wiiremote start up in my /etc/rc.local file
Code:
kodi-wiiremote --disable-mouseemulation --disable-nunchuck &

So i'm able to pair the wiimote and the system below are logs i saw from my terminal. The eventsclient is able to see me connect and disconnect the wiimote
Code:
Disabled WiiRemote mouse emulation
Successfully connected a WiiRemote
Successfully disconnected a WiiRemote
Successfully connected a WiiRemote

The problem is that even though the wiimote is paired, i cant control the interface.

Looking for a keymap.xml looks like v17 doesnt have an xml for the wiimote anymore i downloaded the following XML
https://gitlab.com/ember-dev/kodi/blob/2...Remote.xml

I tried adding the xml to both folders ~/.kodi/userdata/keymaps and /usr/share/kodi/system/keymap and still no dice

Is the wiiremote still even supported?

I back tracked to jarvis and its working on the same system. Is this because of the joystick overhaul in krypton?

Does anybody know how to get debug logs for the kodi-wiimote client and the debug log on recieved input from eventsclient?

Hello !

Same problem for me.

RPI2 + OSMC + Kodi17 + Wiimote. Worked perfectly for many months. Then upgrade to kodi17 ;-(((

Had to install Yatsee on my phone, but unhappy ...

I want my Wiimote back !

Help please !


Or can someone describe how to downgrade to Kodi 16 without losing data ?

Unfortunately, it still doesnt work. Sad My wii-remote was able to pair and i saw the notification on the screen, however, no input from the wii-remote still has no effect.
