I have been using the following setup for a long time, without any issues what so ever;

KODI (17.4) running on a Mac Mini (High Sierra, 10.13), using a Logitech Harmony Hub (4.13.100) to control the whole thing. I have selected "Harmony Remote" in the Input settings in Kodi, and I can start Kodi using the "Menu" button on my Harmony remote controller, as well as on my iPhone.

In one of the activities in Harmony I have configured it to use "Plex Media Player" for controlling Kodi. I have deleted the activity and created it from scratch, but alas...

This has suddenly stopped working. I don't know if something updated, but now I can ONLY start Kodi, using the Menu button, and I can use OK, as well as go Left and Right. I cannot use Exit, I cannot go Up or Down. It is frustrating to say the least...

Can anyone shed some light on this issue?

Do you have a harmony xml file in Application Support > Kodi > userdata > keymaps ?  I made a custom one that works for me, though I'm not using High Sierra on my Mac mini.  It is called joystick.Harmony.xml and here are the contents:

Up and down was broken with high sierra use this testbuild for the time being - the fix will be ok krypton 17.5

Hi,

I tried the new version, but alas. Some functions work fine, but not up/down for instance. I'll continue to try the nightly builds. Good to know I am not crazy

Up down definitly was fixed in this version (others confirmed) - apple broke those button codes in high sierra. Ensure to reboot the mac after installing that test version (and it definitly needs to be installed in the applications folder to work correctly - starting from the dmg will prevent the fix from being used).

[KillerBob]

You’re right, I forgot to reboot the Mac Mini. After that it works...
