I should also note that I am using a 2.4GHz remote, it connects as a CEC Adapter (Product ID: 1001, Vendor: 2708, Version libCEC 3.0.1 - firmware v1). not sure if this makes a difference to the xml file, or location?

I went through this already with a similar remote. Sounds like your remote is actually a WiFi Keyboard. The XML file should be named keyboard.xml not remote.xml. CEC adapter is built-in and would be used if you were using your TV’s remote, but you’re using a Minix WiFi keyboard

The correct xml syntax is:

Delete whats is in your keymap.xml file and paste the following into keyboard.xml (should be in /storage/userdata/keymaps folder):

 <keymap>
 <global>
     <remote>
         <home>back</home>
     </remote>
 </global>
 </keymap>

That will go ‘back’ a menu item in relation to where you are, but won’t stop a video. If you use back while a video is playing, you will go back a menu, but the video keeps playing in the background. You’d want to map a key to Stop if that’s a problem for you.

Here’s my keyboard.xml as an example:

 <keymap>
 <global>
     <remote>
         <key id="240">back</key>
         <home>Home</home>
         <leftwindows>back</leftwindows>
         <f2>Fullscreen</f2>
         <f3>ActivateWindow(Home)</f3>
         <power>Stop</power>
     </remote>
 </global>
 </keymap>
