Along the lines of longpress not working, I also have that problem on an Asus Chromebox M004U cn60 Celeron 2955U, running librelec 8.1.2

These keycodes all work perfectly for regular presses:

<key id="0xa6"> # Up button.
<key id="0xa7"> # Down button.
<key id="0xa9"> # Left button.
<key id="0xa8"> # Right button.

<key id="0x0b"> # select button.

<key id="0xd8"> # back button.
<key id="0x25"> # home button.
<key id="0x2c"> # hamburger 3 line button.

<key id="0xe2"> # Rewind button.
<key id="0xea"> # play/pause button.
<key id="0xe3"> # FF button.

So, for example, pressing the hamburger 3 line button, will correctly do NextSubtitle in this example:
<key id="0x2c">NextSubtitle</key>

but longpressing that same button will not do this SubtitleSearch, for example:
<key id="0x2c" mod="longpress">ActivateWindow(SubtitleSearch)</key>

and instead will just press NextSubtitle (0x2c) repeatedly, very fast.

Is this something to do with the 250ms threshold?

Do i need to resort to lirc? I'd rather not use LIRC if I didn't have to.

I see whiterat gave an example of lirc, but not sure if that method was working with longpress anyhow.

For completeness, here are my lirc codes:
# irw
67 0 KEY_UP devinput
6c 0 KEY_DOWN devinput
69 0 KEY_LEFT devinput
6a 0 KEY_RIGHT devinput
160 0 KEY_OK devinput
9e 0 KEY_BACK devinput
66 0 KEY_HOME devinput
171 0 KEY_TITLE devinput
a8 0 KEY_REWIND devinput
cf 0 KEY_PLAY devinput
d0 0 KEY_FASTFORWARD devinput
9e 0 KEY_BACK devinput
9e 0 KEY_BACK devinput
cf 0 KEY_PLAY devinput

Did you manage to make the remote work on raspbian?

So I've installed Kodi onto a fresh Raspbian install, and I can't get it to recognize that the remote is an input device at all. The remote is detected by both evtest and showkey, and can be used to input commands into other programs with no issue, but Kodi refuses to use it. I've switched out the bluetooth adapters and it didn't help. Kodi can use a bluetooth keyboard I've paired, so it's not a bluetooth issue. Since I'm not using OpenELEC the script posted by Whiterat isn't going to work.

What PIN are people using to pair with Amazon remotes?

 None. Goto bluetooth and once you see the remote, click on Trust and Connect.
