i wanna stop/start kodi with bt remote.
i creat a hwdb file

evdev:input:b0005v000Dp3838*
 KEYBOARD_KEY_c0041=enter
 KEYBOARD_KEY_70066=f7

modify gen.xml

<keymap>
    <global>
         <keyboard>
             <f7>RunScript(/storage/.config/standby.py)</f7>
         </keyboard>
    </global>
</keymap>

creat python script

#bluetooth remote control stop/start kodi
import subprocess
def is_kodi_running():
	try:
		result=subprocess.run(['pgrep','kodi'],stdout=subprocess.PIPE,text=True,check=True)
		output=result.stdout.strip().split('\n')
		if len(output)>1:
			return True	
		else:
			return False
	except subprocess.CalledProcessError:
		return False
if is_kodi_running():
	subprocess.run(['systemctl','stop','kodi'])
else:
	subprocess.run(['systemctl','start','kodi'])

SHH command.kodi can be stop/start

python /storage/.config/standby.py

when kodi is running，'70066’button can stop kodi.when kodi is dead，the button cannot start kodi.

How do you expect Kodi to execute command when it is not running?

you mean RunScript is based on kodi.maybe triggerhappy can solve it.
