Update the event map to CC to work with Kodi >= 17 
Support for the Joystick config seem to have been broken: 
See the issue https://trac.kodi.tv/ticket/17313

So reconfigure the Wiimote as a Custom Controller
You also need the WiiRemote.xml config file attached in the ticket.

Improved XBMC Wiimote Gateway

An XBMC event client that receives input from a Wii remote via bluetooth and feeds them to XBMC.

While XBMC comes with a Wii remote event client already (xbmc-wiiremote), this project aims to improve upon it by adding some additional features such as automatic disconnect, by having better error handling and to be more hackable by using the Python bindings.

Features

  • Automatic disconnect after a period of disuse
  • On connect…
    • notifications in XBMC,
    • rumble, and
    • battery status report
  • Supports key repeating when holding a button down
  • Rudimentary error handling
  • Usage of a specific Wii remote to be able to pair quickly
  • Uses the official XBMC EventServer API
  • Uses the default Wii remote keymap shipped with XBMC

Requirements

XBMC Wiimote Gateway is an XBMC event client, so it needs:

  • XBMC Dharma (>= 10.1), with
    • XBMC Event Client Python bindings
  • Python (>= 2.6), with
    • Python CWIID bindings (>= 0.6)
  • Bluez (>= 4.96)

and of course a working bluetooth controller.

Installation & Use

The script itself, xbmc-wiimote, can be put anywhere. Preferably, put it somewhere that is in the system's/in your path.

Then, run:

$ xbmc-wiimote -b <Wii remote bluetooth address>

You should see a notification pop up in XBMC that tells you that the XBMC Wiimote Gateway has connected.

If you don't know the bluetooth address of your Wii remote, run

$ hcitool scan

and quickly press 1+2 on the Wii remote to find the address
