Remapping keys for Apple remote (silver) in Kodi

README.md

Using Apple Remote (silver) with Kodi

Having Kodi installed on Mac mini and trying to use Apple Remote?

You do not need lircd, the remote behaves like a keyboard and sends VolumeUp, VolumeDown, Back, Forward, Enter, Menu and PlayPause when a buton is pressed. Thus, we need to change the key mapping if we want the behavior of moving left, right, up, down and back.

  1. Place the file apple.remote.xml (below) in KODI_DATA_DIR/userdata/keymaps.
  2. Restart Kodi.

<browser_forward>Right</browser_forward>
<key id="0xf200">Back</key>
</keyboard>
</global>
</keymap>
