CEC is nice, but my experience has been that it only works about 40% of the time. (Samsung UHDTV), on my old pi3 build. This required me to use the old MCE remote that I have been using on XBMC and then kodi for like 10+ years. It's good to have an alternative remote anyways in case I plug into another system without CEC.
I have found the recent builds don't seem to support the MCE remote despite the wiki claiming it does. The arrow keys are the only thing on the remote that work. I can't even use the ok button or the back button.
I tried downloading the key mapper, and for General-> Navigation -> Select Item I programmed it to use the "OK" button on the MCE remote, it shows a number next to the mapping. However it still does not work when I actually try to use it
I have installed LIRC after some difficulty but that does not seem to work either.
Has MCE remote support been dropped? If not how do I get it to work!?
