Rosewill MCE remote works with LIRC not with Kodi
I have a Rosewill RHRC-11002 MCE Remote that I am trying to get to work with a new Giabyte Brix GB-BXBT-1900 HTPC loaded with Ubuntu 14.04. Out of the box the remote will work for the volume, mute left right up and down buttons but not much else (without being able to use the OK button to select options it is pretty well useless).
I installed LIRC and tried the buttons using irw which worked perfectly
Code:
david@MainSqueeze:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc
[sudo] password for david:
* Stopping remote control daemon(s): LIRC [ OK ]
* Loading LIRC modules [ OK ]
* Starting remote control daemon(s) : [ OK ]
david@MainSqueeze:~$ irw

Problem is it still won't work with Kodi. Not sure what the problem is as I thought MCE remotes worked out of the box
