Hi,
I am still relatively new to Kodi, but I ran into the same problems as mentioned above: purged lirc (ubuntu/apt-get) and used a custom keymapping with some keys from the IR remote working as soon as I reload the keymap (like KEY_PLAYPAUSE, KEY_FASTFORWARD) and some not (like KEY_0-KEY_9, KEY_F, KEY_POWER and KEY_BACKSPACE) - even though they are working just fine outside of Kodi (in a terminal for example).
I also found some kind of clue as to where the problem is: If I killall -9 kodi the keys still won't work, but If I leave Kodi normally and (using the default Ubuntu login screen) log in again, everything works just fine (every key behaves just like it came from an ordinary keyboard).
I am not using any custom kodi keymap.xml except one: in the global/keyboard section.
I am using Ubuntu 14.10 and enabled autologin with a pure Kodi session (no gnome).
Since I've already used the better part of the evening trying to set this damn IR remote up, I am not really motivated into doing more "research" into that, at least for today and probably the rest of the week, but maybe someone here could.
