Configuring StreamZap remote control with Kodi (XBMC) in Ubuntu 14.04

[mahesh]

I was successfully using my Streamzap remote control with XBMC 11, but since it was a little old, his add-ons stopped working one by one, and i was forced to update to XBMC version 14.2 (now known as Kodi).

I don´t know exactly what has changed, but my usual procedure to make streamzap work wasn´t functioning anymore.
The problem was that if i has installed Kodi and tried to use streamzap out of the box (without lirc), only the arrow buttons were working inside Kodi and after lirc's installation and configuration through my old method ,no buttons were responding anymore!

After many hours trying, i finally got make it working again as expected!
Below follows the steps that worked for me. I hope it can be useful to someone.
