Hi @baracudaz . I'm using retropie 4.1 and I have only tested it with that version of ES.
the file /etc/udev/rules.d/40-uinput.rules should have been installed by the python-uinput package. So I can't say for sure if it will be guaranteed to work on other distros without some extra work required.
For me the 40-uinput.rules file looks like the following
ACTION=="add|change", KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", ENV{ID_VENDOR_ID}=="012a", ENV{ID_MODEL_ID}=="034b", ENV{ID_INPUT_KEYBOARD}="1", ENV{ID_INPUT_TABLET}="1"
SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{name}=="python-uinput", ENV{ID_INPUT_KEYBOARD}="1"
KERNEL=="uinput", MODE:="0666"
Did you set your keyboard up first with ES ? as the script reads your retroarch.cfg to get your keyboard buttons and sends keypresses using uinput. Check the readme for supported keys .
So set up your keyboard as you normally would in ES then try the script.
I'm using python-uinput version 0.10.2-1 and cec-utils version 3.0.1-3~jessie
Also you can simply run cec-utils on its own to see if your remote is being detected.
For reference I run kodi in retropie. It is installed in the ports section and works fine.

Here is couple of outputs from my setup. The TV remote is detected by your script with no issues.
I cannot setup ES with regular keyboard as the only access is via SSH or TV Remote control. However what I am struggling to understand how ES detects a valid keyboard (emulated by TV remove in our case)?
Could you kindly provide output:
.emulationstation/es_input.cfginput_player1_*setup from/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
I found a couple of examples here. Now trying to figure out if I can re-use that.
For reference I run kodi in retropie. It is installed in the ports section and works fine.
See what you did there 👍

I set up a keyboard first and then used that to set up a ps3 controller. once the ps3 controller was paired the keyboard was no longer needed so I plugged that out.
The "fake" keyboard is attached via a kernel module uinput and acts as a device attached at /dev/uinput , the python library interfaces with the uinput module to send key events, But a keyboard has to be configured first for ES to act on certain keypresses.

input_player1_r3 = "num2"
If you get it working you may need to add some code to the if statment so it does not run when osmc is running.
I'd say try copy the keyboard sections of both files and reboot and see if retropie prompts you for a keyboard.
