kodi-rbp unable to type on search dialog

[hirs]

Hi,

For some reason, probably because Kodi is not using Xorg, I'm unable to type anything on any search dialog. All keys are sent to the background instead to the input box.

Anyone else has experienced that?

I'm using a Microsoft usb wireless keyboard on the raspberry 2.

Thanks!

same issue here. a fix:

change the file /etc/udev/rules.d/raspberrypi.rules from

SUBSYSTEM=="vchiq|input", MODE="0777"
KERNEL=="mouse|mice|event", MODE="0777"

SUBSYSTEM=="vchiq|input|tty", MODE="0777"
KERNEL=="mouse|mice|event|tty0", MODE="0777"

[hirs]

Thanks joao, worked like a charm!

Is there a difference to using the above vs just adding SUBSYSTEM=="tty", KERNEL=="tty0", GROUP="tty", MODE="0666" as a new line instead? (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kodi#Raspberry_Pi recommends this)
