I have a SHIELD running Kodi and use my TV remote (through HDMI-CEC) to control Kodi. I'm trying to remap some keys but without success.

I've added a keyboard.xml file with the following contents to my userdata/keymaps folder:

xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<keymap>

    <global>

        <keyboard>

            <play>Notification(Keypress, play, 1)</play>

            <pause>Notification(Keypress, pause, 1)</pause>

            <play_pause>Notification(Keypress, play_pause, 1)</play_pause>

        </keyboard>

    </global>

</keymap>

(You may be wondering, why <keyboard> and not <remote>, well, that's the only thing that worked for me)

When I press either the play or pause buttons on my remote while in the home screen, I get a notification with "play_pause", just as configured above. As you can see, I'm setting this globally with <global> but this is not working while playing a video file. I tried to replace <global> with <FullscreenVideo> but it didn't work either. I then turned on debugging and looked into the log file. And I see stuff like this when I press some remote keys while in the homescreen:

text:
18:26:44.509 T:1462753568   DEBUG: OnKey: play_pause (0xf0bd) pressed, action is Notification(Keypress, play_pause, 1)

18:26:45.811 T:1462753568   DEBUG: OnKey: right (0xf083) pressed, action is Right

But when I'm playing a video file, pressing play/pause buttons don't seem to produce any "OnKey" debug entries, but the keys still to their respective actions.

Is there any other way I can remap the play/pause buttons while playing fullscreen video? Currently play plays and pause pauses, exclusively. But I want both play and pause to both play_pause.

Thoughts, anyone?

I'd suggest deleting your keyboard.xml and installing http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Keymap_Editor

Yes, try using the addon: Keymap Editor

I want to understand what exactly is my problem given that I can remap the buttons for the home screen but not for the fullscreen video screen. That's my issue, it should work and I don't think the Keymap Editor will help. Actually, I tried Keymap Editor before creating this thread, I still couldn't make it work. Because the problem doesn't seem to be the remapping itself, but something else.
