Full Version: RC6 Remote doesn't work in Kodi

Greetings,

I'm trying to switch over from Windows Media Center to Kodi.

I understood that Kodi would work (pretty much out of the box) with a Windows Media Center remote control. I have an RC6 remote control that came with a Hauppauge tuner that I bought years ago. The remote still works fine in Windows Media Center.

When I launch Kodi, I try to navigate the main menu with a simple LEFT or RIGHT on the remote, and nothing happens.

I searched google and also looked in the forums and found a couple of things to try:
1) http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=164252
Advanced MCE Remote Mapper Tool

2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbaiF082_iQ

But neither seems to get the remote working.

Here is my machine information. Please let me know if you need any further information.

Thanks!
