Also according to the LED on the Sony Android TV, longpress seems to work. But the re-detection of the input device inside Kodi after the 30s idle time seems to reset the key somehow.
When the screen saver kicks in, Android changes the device from a keyboard to a joystick. I'm not sure why. I'll be able to look into this after DevCon next weekend. In the meantime, the best we can do is make the joystick device act like the keyboard device.

The device type is determined by Android, not Kodi. Joystick detection is done by Kodi instead of the add-on. However, the add-on contains the button maps, so it must be enabled for joysticks to have any effect in Kodi.
