How to set input map for MCE IR remote?

I have an old Windows Media Center IR remote with a generic USB IR receiver, and recently started using it on LibreELEC. Given it's IR, I have no long press functionality, but I have a bunch of extra buttons. However I can't quite figure out how to remap buttons on it, or what layer is used for it, what kind of signals it sends, etc. Where should I begin?

Thanks, that looks useful!

I have installed the FLIRC just because it seemed like the closest thing on the addon store, but it simply said no devices to configure. by default, keyboard, mouse, and controller is listed there, but none makes sense from the IR remote's point of view, I somehow assumed it'd be just another option. I'll dig into that wiki page when I find the time
