Alternative keymaps for the Boxee Box remote, as suggested by the community.
Installing keymaps
There are a few methods to load custom keymaps on Kodi.
File manager
Kodi's built in file manager can be used to copy files from a network file share (such as SMB/Windows sharing), or a USB thumb drive, to the userdata folder.
- Save the keymap you want to use as a plain text file as "keymap.xml" (it can be anything as long as it ends in .xml) on the file share.
- Go to the File Manager in Kodi. For the default skin, Confluence, highlight the "System" tab and then select the submenu "File manager" option.
- Add the file share as a source in the "A" window, then navigate to where the keymap file is.
- In the "B" window go do the Profile directory which will be the userdata folder, then open the keymaps folder.
- Highlight the keymap file from the "A" window, then press menu, and then select copy. This will copy the selected keymap to the Fire TV's userdata folder.
- Now just restart Kodi to load the new keymap.
Copy directly to userdata folder
- Save the keymap you want to use as a plain text file as "keymap.xml" (it can be anything as long as it ends in .xml)
- Use a file manager of your choice, such as the one build into your OS, and copy this file to the userdata folder within the keymaps folder.
The Userdata folder is a subfolder of the Kodi Data Folder and is located as shown in the table below.
Operating system | Userdata Folder |
---|---|
Android | Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/ (see note) |

OSMC | /home/osmc/.kodi/userdata/ |
tvOS | /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/Kodi/userdata/ |
webOS | /media/developer/apps/usr/palm/applications/org.xbmc.kodi/.kodi/userdata/ |
Windows | %APPDATA%\Kodi\userdata |
Windows Portable | <Install location chosen by you>\portable_data\userdata\ |
Windows via Microsoft Store | %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\XBMCFoundation.Kodi_4n2hpmxwrvr6p\LocalCache\Roaming\Kodi\ |
