Hello, 

I am trying to set up a Wii Remote to navigate Kodi. I am only wanting button based navigation, I am not trying to emulate a mouse pointer or anything. 

I have the Wii Remote Controller plugin installed (Team Kodi - 1.0.27) All of the inputs work until I get to the Up button, at which point Kodi doesn't recognize any dpad input from the wiimote. I can press other buttons on the wiimote for up such as using the B button for up, but the arrows don't work at all. 

The Wii Remote is connected via bluetooth and the program xwiishow shows that all buttons are working and recognized. 




I found the generated buttonmap in ~/.var/app/tv.kodi.Kodi/data/userdata/addon_data/peripheral.joystick/resources/buttonmaps/xml/linux/Nintendo_Wii_Remote_7b.xml 

The contents are short, so I'll just include the inline here: 

Nintendo_Wii_Remote_7b.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<buttonmap>

   <device name="Nintendo Wii Remote" provider="linux" buttoncount="7">

       <controller id="game.controller.wiimote">

           <feature name="a" button="0" />

           <feature name="b" button="1" />

           <feature name="home" button="2" />

           <feature name="minus" button="4" />

           <feature name="one" button="5" />

           <feature name="plus" button="3" />

           <feature name="two" button="6" />

       </controller>

   </device>

</buttonmap>

It seems to only recognize 7 buttons, and is missing the 4 dpad/arrow buttons completely.

evtest also reads all the buttons correctly.
