This will work until kodi is updated to kodi 15 then we may have to look into libcec3
gizmo98 commented on Sep 30, 2015
All right. So if our raspi kodi package is updated to a version >= 15 it is certainly necessary to replace libcec1/2 with libcec3.

From what I understand yes. But Michael gorvens repo has been down for a few days now (at least the website has) so I'm hoping that means he's doing updates but we'll see. It also may be worth compiling ourselves pending on Michael gorvens repo having joypad support enabled in the build flags as it would be nice to have gamepad support in kodi.
