Rasplex IR keymaps

Hi everyone, I have installed IR with lircd.conf and it all works well on my Pi3. Now I am trying to get some functionality from an apple remote closer to what I had when I used my mini as server/client but I keep failing to get keymaps to work on even a basic level maybe I am missing a step or fine detail somewhere.

Using an Apple 1294 (silver remote) & have remote sends keystrokes enabled.
attempted among many a keymap from http://kodi.wiki/view/Alternative_keymaps_for_Apple_remote
stored as /storage/.plexht/userdata/keymaps/joystick.AppleRemote.xml

lircd.conf is
