I have posted in the Kodi forums, the Openelec forums and the SolidRun forums. The posts in Kodi and Openelec have been read several times without one response. SolidRun tried to help but suggest I try here.
There is no support for qwerty remote in Kodi. Not through the ir port anyway. It seems as if Kodi will accept qwerty input via the USB port, but only accepts T9 via the ir port.
I have a new CuBox and I've set the ir codes up correctly and they work perfectly in Openelec when testing. However, when Kodi starts, it converts all the keystrokes to T9. For example, the number 1 will throw a 1 when testing in Openelec, but when Kodi starts, it views a number 1 keystroke via the ir as "a". If I sent a number 1 via USB, it shows as "1", but through the ir, it shows as "a". This pattern holds true for all the numbers, and pressing the number multiple times brigs up the expected letter for T9.
Play, stop, enter and so on all work fine through the ir. Only the numbers are converted to letters. This is not a "skin" issue as I am using Confluence and also, the skin would not account for this behavior. As far as I can tell, the only account for this behavior is that Kodi is set to register all keystrokes through the ir as a T9 remote. There used to be a setting to enable or disable T9, but as far as I can tell, this feature has been removed.
I search Google and see others with this problem, but in every case, they are just reporting the problem and never get a response. My own posts have several views and not a single response.
