I did purchase this remote.
Sorry if I wasn't clear. I'm not having trouble pairing the remote with the bluetooth on the Raspberry Pi. In fact, if I go into a text editor, the direction buttons move the cursor similar to how the arrow keys on a keyboard would, the middle button moves the cursor down a line similar to hitting the enter key, etc.
However, after I launch Kodi, the input from the remote no longer works. If I exit Kodi, the input still works fine with the text editor. It's like the Kodi doesn't know how to handle the input from the remote.
