I used the same method as post 2 to connect my Harmony Control via bluetooth in Mythbuntu 14.04.
The main issue I have is that all the playback keys don't do anything (play, pause, stop etc).
It's all working OK as there are plenty of keys that I was able to remap in the keyboard.xml file, but it would be more straight forward if the default keys had worked.
I checked in the keyboard shortcuts and there's nothing that seems to conflict and evtest doesn't respond when I press them.
So my question is, do these keys work for others and if so, are you on 14.04 or 16.04?
Thanks
Ben

OK, tried a live CD of Mythbuntu 16.04 and the playback keys were detected.
Uograded kernel and all packages on 14.04, but still no joy. Oh well, I have a workaround and I know it will work when I upgrade.
Thanks for your guide, it was very helpful.

In the harmony app add some windows keys to the device like F3, F4 etc. then for kodi use this:
My keyboard.xml (/home/iiidefconiii/.kodi/userdata/keymaps)
<keymap>
<global>
<keyboard>
<!-- Jixel Custom Keys -->
<f3>ActivateWindow(Videos,TvShowTitles)</f3>
<f5>RunAddon(scipt.globalsearch)</f5>
<f6>ActivateWindow(Videos,MovieTitles)</f6>
<f7>ActivateWindow(MusicLibrary,nfs://192.168.1.7/MediaLibrary/Music/,Return)</f7>
<f8>RunAddon(plugin.audio.tuneinradio)</f8>
<f9>RunAddon(plugin.video.youtube,Return)</f9>
<f11>RunAddon(script.ipcam,Return)</f11>
<f12>System.Exec(skype,Return)</f12>
<!-- Unused keys: F1(L1), F2(L2), F3(L3), INSERT(Select) -->
</keyboard>
</global>
<FullscreenVideo>
<keyboard>
<g>showtime</g>
</keyboard>
</FullscreenVideo>
</keymap>
