I put this here because it seems to make sense. If there is a more appropriate place/forum to put it, please let me know and I apologize for putting it in the wrong place (I have also posted it on the OSMC forum).
This is 2 problems that are kind of related.....

I'm using an Onkyo RC866M remote to control OSMC. It worked very well without any mods (just added the .conf to the /etc/lirc folder and selected it in OSMC). I say "very well" because there are still a couple of functions I need to mod.
Should I create a remote.xml file just for a few standard functions and should that file be located in ~/.kodi/userdata/keymaps (thought I read somewhere it can be located in other places). Or should I just modify a copy of the Lircmap.xml file located in the /etc/lirc (or should that be /usr/share/kodi/system) directory? And what is the difference between remote.xml and Lircmap.xml?
