Minix U22 and Logitech Harmony buttons not mapped [SOLVED]

Hi
I want just to share the solution I found to get rid of my problem:

Problem
Upgrading my U1 to U22, I discovered that all entertainment buttons on my Logitech Harmony One remote stopped to work. I mean, all buttons configured on the remote for Minix U1 (ie cursors, volume, channel, back,...) are working fine with U22 but Play/Pause, FastForward/Rewind and Stop. No matter which profile I configure on the harmony (U1, U9-H, X8-H Plus), they didn't work.

Workaround
The only workaround I found was to configure HDMI-CEC on minix and remap the LG remote command on the Harmony. This solution works fine if you don't use the TV remote at all, just because, in this case, it may happen the minix starts even if you just want to watch the TV. This is because the HDMI-CEC is enabled on minix to receive TV remote commands

Solution
Having a look to posts regarding Minix T5, I found a discussion about the possibility to manage the box using a FLIRC USB dongle and any kind of remote. This device act as IR receiver and traslate IR signals to keyboard-like stroke. It is natively recognized in the Harmony app as an endpoint and has a profile for Kodi (Manifacturer: FLIRC, device:Kodi). Configuring FLIRC in the Harmony as an additional device for the Minix Activities, let me to use the Minix U9 profile to manage all buttons directly recognized by the U22, and all remaining buttons not recognized, mapped in the FLIRC profile.
