(Thought this initially to be a libreelec issue, but it seems it is kodi-related. So please, do spare me for the double-post).
I’m using a custom remote.xml file on RPi2 on my Sony tv, plus a couple of boxes for friends and family.
CEC remote file ~/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml : http://sprunge.us/ibeS
I do not use any other customizations. This custom remote file adds some things for CEC remotes like:
* pressing blue during playback to download subs,
* pressing red to display the context menus while in movie/episode view
* pressing green to pop-up the information window (story, actors, plot etc)
This remote.xml has been used without a single change from the days of OpenELEC 6.x. It worked perfectly after the ugprade to LE 7.x. Problem is that the two last bindings have stopped in LE 8.

Checking the log, I can see that there are certain errors with when referring some windows:

14:32:35.539 T:1962604672 INFO: * Adding remote mapping for device 'mceusb'Specifically, references to windows videolibrary, videofiles, musicfiles, musiclibrary, files, are all broken. Also, a reference to remote key “i” seems to also be broken. I’ve managed to find this thread here https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=285506 that signifies that during Kodi 17 development, certain things changed, breaking the functionality of my custom remote.xml.
Where can I find the new names for these windows ( videolibrary, videofiles, musicfiles, musiclibrary, files)?
