Cannot map remote key to action - eXcyleNL - 2024-05-24

I am kinda stuck with configuring my remote and could use some help. I am using an Logitech Harmony configured as an generic MCE remote for kodi. everything is working as it should, but i cannot get two of the buttons to behave.

I have defined the buttons in a lircd.conf, i named the remote "Harmony" and the buttons are named "Guide" and "Info" with the correct codes, and "irw" on the commandline is detecting them :

Code:
kodi@mce:~# irw

0000000077e1d099 00 Info Harmony

0000000077e1d099 01 Info Harmony

0000000077e1a0b9 00 Guide Harmony

0000000077e1a0b9 01 Guide Harmony

0000000077e1a0b9 02 Guide Harmony

On the kodi side, they are defined in a lircmap.xml

Code:
<lircmap>

  <remote device="Harmony">

.....

    <Guide>Guide</Guide>

    <Info>Info</Info>

.....

  </remote>

</lircmap>

Kodi seems to detect the button press according to the kodi.log with debugging enabled:

Code:
2024-05-23 23:24:01.049 T:13      debug <general>: LIRC: - NEW 0000000077e1d099 00 Info Harmony (Info)

2024-05-23 23:24:01.055 T:7       debug <general>: HandleKey: 0 (0x0, obc255) pressed, window 10025, action is

and i have added them to a harmony.xml keymap using the name "info" and the obc255 displayed in the logging

Code:
<keymap>

  <!-- Blue toggles watched indicator -->

  <!-- Yellow will toggle the library views between 'show everything' and 'show watched only' -->

  <Global>

    <remote>

      <blue>ToggleWatched</blue>

      <yellow>SendClick(25,14)</yellow>

      <info>ContextMenu</info>

      <guide>ContextMenu</guide>

    </remote>

    <universalremote>

      <obc255>ContextMenu</obc255>

    </universalremote>

  </Global>

</keymap>

but the contextmenu is not activated when i press the info button (the red button does open the menu, so i know the keymap is working.)
