Hi, totally a noob when it comes to this side of Kodi so please bear with me. I am using a thirdy party application to control Kodi, namely Home Assistant. 

I have created buttons and assigned them Input.Up, Input.Down, Input.Select etc

With these I have a functional remote that helps me navigate Kodi. 

However, when there is a video playing, these buttons dont work. I want Input.Select to bring up the OSD, Input.Right to seek 10 seconds etc. This is the behavious I see with Yatse and other apps, for instance. How do I achieve this?

If you use Kodi 19 or newer you can try to use Input.ButtonEvent when sending commands. This is equal to using a keyboard which is connected to Kodi.

The iOS Remote App has a logic which checks via GUI.GetProperties in which screen Kodi is and is then sending Player.Seek commands. I guess other Apps also handle it like this.

That did the trick. Thanks a lot.
