I'm a little lost on trying to get my setup working. I've looked through this thread, the guide, and wiki

I've been working on a little project of mine, sort of an all in one joystick similar to a tank stick, with a full up PC inside.

The joysticks are connected to the linux box inside the controller via usb. The controllers are connected to a PCB encoder (the one here - I chose this one since I can use the controller for retro gaming and for a PS4).

The controller works great in Retroarch. It was recognized right away, and I just had to fiddle with the default button mapping (Retroarch shows udev as the joypad driver)
In Kodi, I get no such love. The debug log shows no recognition that the controller is seen at all, and the mapping function doesn't pick anything up either.

cat /proc/bus/input/devices shows

Code:

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=0c12 Product=0ef7 Version=0111
N: Name="ZEROPLUS P4 Wired Gamepad V1.6"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:14.0-2/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-2/3-2:1.0/0003:0C12:0EF7.0001/input/input5
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=event2 js0
B: PROP=0
B: EV=1b
B: KEY=3fff000000000000 0 0 0 0
B: ABS=3003f
B: MSC=10

Attempting to copy the PS3 or PS4 keymapping, and changing the name to "ZEROPLUS P4 Wired Gamepad V1.6" or anything like that doesn't seem to help Kodi recognize the controller.

Any help with steps to configure a one-off controller so Kodi will recognize it?
