![]() ![]() The Harmony One has an canned profile for Flirc, XBMC. For me that is TV on, HDMI 1 Soundbar on, Optical on Video switcher On, Output 3 FireTV Home, Audio Optical. My goal was to get my Harmony One to run a FireTV Activity, i.e., turn everything on and switch everything to the correct settings. Use his chart.įlirc needs a "forced update" of its firmware in its options. ![]() It is pretty easy to do once you understand the convoluted process. ![]() Just a heads up that I'm going to make life so much easier, I'm going to update the GUI with an official FireTV window. The select button marked as 'enter' above which is in the GUI, is actually not correct. Hey guys, it's Jason hijacking Tony's post. If I missed something or made a typo, pls feel free to correct it! Thanks to the other members who’s posts led me down this path to success If they are the same, it would simplify things. Maybe someone can post that info if they know. I don’t know if there is a difference between similar keys in the Media Center and Media Keys layouts. There are several choices there and you will need 3 of them to duplicate what I have done. The Controllers column refers to the Controllers menu in the Flirc GUI. Here is how I mapped my remote to the Flirc commands. Once you do that it will tell you that you were successful. It will then ask you to point the remote and press the button you want mapped just like the GUI. You can get to it and number of ways depending on your version of Windows.Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\Flirc for 64 bit OS I found this page to help me learn about the command line commands:Īs I mentioned, the command line program cmd.exe Is part of Windows. Now my level of knowledge pales in comparison to many of the members here, but this is what I was able to decipher. It is not part of Flirc or the Flirc GUI, but part of windows. There seems to be some confusion in the forums about reference to the command line app. Programming the menu key requires use of the windows command line program. I haven’t been able to test the skip and skip- commands so the jury is still out. Separate pause and stop commands don’t work. From what I can tell, the play button alternates between play and pause. The best that I have been able to do is a back command. I still haven’t found a Home Key in the Flirc GUI that performs the Home function of the fireTV remote. Obviously, the voice command feature isn’t a player. So I assigned the arrow keys from an Apple TV remote to my MX980 and that fixed the problem. I tried changing the inter-key delay from the Flirc GUI - File > Advanced, but that didn’t help. Those signals become the trigger signals for Flirc.Īs it turned out, whenever I pressed up, down, left, or right, I got double key pushes on the fireTV. It really makes no difference what device you assign as long as your remote sends an IR signal when the desired key is pressed. When I added a device for fireTV, I told the remote that it was a Panasonic DVD player and assigned commands from the Panasonic Remote to my MX980's keys. I have no knowledge or access to a Mac or Linux. Of course it makes much more sense to program remote bottons that correspond to the actual command desired, but Flirc doesn't care! Or you could program it to send a play command whenever you push the guide button on your remote. By using the Flirc and its software, it basically take whatever IR command your remote sends it and uses it as a trigger to send out whatever command you associated with it.įor example: You could program it to send an Up command whenever you push the "1" button on your remote. The fact that they omitted an IR path to remote control is a major omission for AV enthusiasts who have labored to combine control of all their devices into one remote control. It's very stable, and will probably go public: Is now in the stable firmwareĪfter finding bits and pieces of helpful info in various threads, I thought it might be helpful to start a new thread that combines what I've learned with a place for others to share their experiences.įirst, you wouldn't be here if you weren't frustrated with fireTV's Bluetooth remote control. Official Amazon firetv support added to the latest release candidate. Be sure to check out the bottom of this post for additional information that I made ![]()
