I ask this question because I am totally confused by now.
My setup is briefly this: Kodi/Kodibuntu 15.1 running on a Zotac MAG. My IR receiver is the one embedded in a Hauppauge WinTV NOVA-TD USB-dongle and the remote is a Logitech Harmony 650 emulating the DSR-112 remote that came with the Hauppauge dongle.
The remote did not work out of the box, so I spent some time getting Lirc to accept the remote. This work was successful in that I would get the correct key codes from the remote with 'irw' (link to LIRC site). But Kodi did still not respond to the remote.
By chance I stumbled on LB06's excellent post on the Kodi forum so I followed the advise given there. I ditched Lirc and got a keytable that corresponds to the remote – dib0700_rc5. This table gives the correct key codes when I run 'ir-keytable -t' Still no dice with Kodi.
The funny thing – and what puzzles me – is that Kodi does not use Lirc and apparently not the loaded keytable either. I discovered that Kodi did respond to a few (Up, Down, Left, Right, Exit/Back) keys on the remote whether or not lircd was started or not. Turning on debug in Kodi I have seen the following:
The codes listed here are nowhere to be found in the key table for the remote, where the corresponding keys are these: (found by grepping the output from 'ir-keytable -t')
So that leaves me with this question: From where does Kodi get the scancodes listed in the debug output??
I have tried to be as brief and concise as possible in the above. I know there is a lot of information (or is it just data?) available, but I have no idea what might be relevant in this connection.
So what tree should I bark up?
