Well, I gave up on it and tried Openelec/FireTV Stick remote. The GUI bluetooth pairing menu is a breathe of fresh air compared to copy pasting all of these commands into a Kodibuntu SSH. All works great. But hopefully my previous issues will help anyone else trying to get the Ps3 remote working, the only command that the tutorials on the previous page were missing was the 'sudo bluez-test-input connect <device ID>'
