Holy crap thank you #2

I must have read every guide dating back to a decade ago. The more I read the less it made sense, but the consensus was that lirc is broken or obsolete. I have this remote (Harmony 650), this PC (NUC5PPYH) and the two seemed to communicate pretty well given that ir-keytables -t gives some pretty plausible feedback. It seems that the problem is that Kodi just doesn't care about things like KEY_PLAY, it wants to see KEY_P. Stop should be KEY_X, not KEY_STOP.

I do want to comment that after I applied your file and tested the results I was really happy to see that the pause button would pause and unpause with its KEYSPACE setting, but I soon found out that at least several buttons still didn't work. You offered a little hint as to how to further tweak the file, but a little more guidance would be helpful. I still don't know where to produce the list of KEY commands to know whats available or correct. I found a list somewhere eventually. My stop button hex code wasn't listed, so I added it. Seems to have worked. I also changed KEY_RED to KEY_BACKSLASH so I can toggle Fullscreen.

Anyway, I wanted to thank you, even if issues is the wrong place to do it.
