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.
