Kodi, where is the lircmap.xml located

[Morphus74]

Hi,

I've found the /usr/share/kodi/system/Lircmap.xml, but when I modify it, nothing change.

I've check my remote name using irw and make sure a <remote> section match that name, but nothing change.

Is the Lircmap.xml located elsewhere or need to be copied somewhere else to be customized?

Thank

@Morphus74 That is a Kodi system file that contains configuration to some common ir remotes. Copy it to ~/.kodi/userdata/ and change accordingly.
Don't forget to install and configure lirc with a proper config for your remote otherwise it won't work.

Ok will try again, pretty sure I did.

Remote is working well, just some button not doing what I want :0

Thank you

You can use the addon Keymap editor, to configure your remote as you want.

Thank for both suggestion.
Sadly Keymap editor is a pain to use, and don't seem to work, it don't acccept all remote input, and even when it does the effect is not working.

For the lircmap file, I've try it again by putting it in the specific folder and confirmed remote name from IRW which give me
0000000000000001 00 KEY_UP OPPO_DV-980H

And in the file I have
<lircmap>
<remote device="OPPO_DV-980H">
<play>Stop</play>
....
</remote>
</lircmap>

And even after a reboot, a major easy to spot feature like a button inversion give no result :(

I suppose that your remote is the one from OPPO DV-980H. Does LIRC includes a config for that remote ? If not, how did you create your /etc/lirc/lircd.conf ? This file needs to be properly configured, the key codes must match with the description otherwise things won't work as it should. Here is an example:
http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/onkyo/RC-104C
The lircmap.xml is only to atribute a specific key from the lirc.conf to a Kodi action.
