action in custom keymap not working ?

trying to map a button on a Rii mini i25 remote.
Log when pressing the button :

DEBUG: CLinuxInputDevice::KeyEvent: TranslateKey returned XBMCK_UNKNOWN from code(142)

RasPlex:~ # cat .plexht/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml
<keymap>
  <global>
    <keyboard>
      <key id="142">Down</key>
    </keyboard>
  </global>
</keymap>

I figured that keymap ought to have worked, but it doesn’t.
Am I missing something here, or is action broken ?

Thx,
Tom

Had a similar problem when I wanted to use a wiimote as a controller

Sorry but you are out of luck, if you get “CLinuxInputDevice::KeyEvent: TranslateKey returned XBMCK_UNKNOWN” you wont be able to map them in any way without editing LinuxInputDevices.cpp and recompiling all rasplex as it isnt detected as a known key

that’s what i feared… i figured i would give it a shot asking here.
A shame.
Perhaps this should be looked at by a developer? hint…hint

But I guess it would be possible to tail -f the debug log, grep the code of the keys and pass the correct press with xbmc-send to the GUI

From what I understand its an openelec problem, any chance of changing it upstream must be made with them
