shades42Just an update on this for anyone else looking and reading.
If I run jstest in putty on another system, and presses buttons while Kodi it loading, as soon as it is up and running, all my buttons stop registering. I have tried this with both wheezy and jessie running Kodi 15.2 on fresh installs.
As soon as Kodi exits, my buttons start function again (before it goes back in ES).
I wish I thought of this before, because I wrote/stole/borrowed/modified some code that will take inputs from js0 (buttons and axis) and map them to key presses and they show up in the terminal window of the pi, but its useless if Kodi “kills” the joystick :)
