Hi everyone,

for some time, there has been a glitch on my gentoo KODI setup. I tried to find out what went wrong but didn't get anywhere.

My system is running kernel 6.6.13-gentoo. There is an ir-keytable setup with the ir-serial driver, which seems to work in a general sense.
When I run ir-keytable -t, all pressed remote keys are registered.
Example:
Code:
842.869082: event type EV_MSC(0x04): scancode = 0xb45
842.869082: event type EV_KEY(0x01) key_down: KEY_DOWN(0x006c)
842.869082: event type EV_SYN(0x00).
842.983103: event type EV_MSC(0x04): scancode = 0xb45
842.983103: event type EV_SYN(0x00).
843.096075: event type EV_MSC(0x04): scancode = 0xb45
843.096075: event type EV_SYN(0x00).
843.229059: event type EV_KEY(0x01) key_up: KEY_DOWN(0x006c)
843.229059: event type EV_SYN(0x00).
844.621073: event type EV_MSC(0x04): scancode = 0xb4a
844.621073: event type EV_KEY(0x01) key_down: KEY_BACKSPACE(0x000e)
844.621073: event type EV_SYN(0x00).
844.735073: event type EV_MSC(0x04): scancode = 0xb4a
844.735073: event type EV_SYN(0x00).
844.849073: event type EV_MSC(0x04): scancode = 0xb4a
844.849073: event type EV_SYN(0x00).
844.981060: event type EV_KEY(0x01) key_up: KEY_BACKSPACE(0x000e)
844.981060: event type EV_SYN(0x00).


So far so good.

My issue is that KODI up to one point reacted on all keys.
At some point, KODI no longer reacted on "KEY_BACKSPACE", for example.
The direction keys (UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT) and the OK key still work as expected in KODI.

All others (BACK, STOP, PAUSE, ...) no longer seem to be recognized. (which of course makes KODI somewhat hard to use)

KODI is running in version 19.5.0. I made some debugging attempts but they didn't yield any helpful information.

Are there specific things I could try? Does anyone have an idea how I could debug this?

If additional information about my system would be helpful just let me know.

Thanks in advance
Daniel
