Hi, thanks for the reply.
I purchased this one:
FLIRC FL-09028 USB Universal Remote Control Receiver for Media Centers Components
Nothing seems to work. I tried navigation keys, media keys (such as play, etc) and the back button. Nothing happened at all. But, as I mentioned, the key mapping went fine.
This is Windows Server 2008 R2, btw. And, also, I do have kodi configured to accept input from other sources, for example, the Android remote control app works fine on my phone. I understand that is wifi, not IR, but just trying to give as much information as possible.
Thanks
