[packman] Kodi and the Hama MCE remote control...

[Manfred Hollstein]

Hi there,

in case you are using Kodi with an MCE remote control you may have asked
yourself, why some buttons don't do what you expect - this was the case
for me at least. IIRC, the exact same remote control used to work
flawlessly up until Kodi 19, but Kodi 20 broke it somehow. E.g. the OK
button used to show the common interface for pausing, skipping backward
and forward, changing the audio channels, sub-titles, etc., but at some
point it didn't work anymore. I then found this nice "kodi_hama_mce"
program which restored the former behaviour.

If you want to use it, you'd have to start it as a daemon (could be done
with a systemd service), but I just use the following wrapper:

  sudo /usr/bin/kodi_hama_mce -d
  kodi
  sudo /usr/bin/killall kodi_hama_mce

I'll submit this as a new package to Multimedia now, hoping some other
maintainer will accept it.

Cheers.

PS: If someone insists on a systemd service, I'm open for SRs ;-)
