Custom Keymaps / LIRC / imon pad… almost but not quite… - Kodi for PC IOS Football Addons IPTV M3u Sports

Hi,

I have Kodi running on Ubuntu 16.04 with a MythTV backend. Using an imon-pad remote, but Kodi doesn’t appear to be recognising all of my keys. For instance, Enter, Escape or Back don’t work. “TV” , “Music” and “Video” work, but the “mypictures” (KEY_IMAGES) does not.

irw reports all keypresses correctly, and I think that means Lirc is working correctly…

Code:
# ps -aux | grep lirc

My /etc/lirc/hardware.conf:

What am I missing?

Possible red herring: I do have some unknown keypress messages in my syslog:

Code:
Nov  3 22:33:20 Myth kernel: [  148.593471] imon 1-1.1:1.0: imon_incoming_packet: unknown keypress, code 0x10007f2

Nov  3 22:33:20 Myth kernel: [  148.633476] imon 1-1.1:1.0: imon_incoming_packet: unknown keypress, code 0x1000df2
