but what I did was just map a keyboard for use with openelec and that was really simple and have been working great. I do have the old flirc and an RPI in the bedroom, also got my gf a flirc and RPI so I do get some part.
I have ordered a Shield and a new Flirc, still dont have any of them they are in shipping so I cannot play with them just yet. I have been reading that post and others like it many times here and at other forums, but I must be really stupid cuz I still dont get it.
#FLIRC NVIDIA SHIELD TV#
You really shouldn't need the right angle adapter, have you tried it without? Mine is behind our tv that's against our wall, doesn't skip a beat. For Shield or FireTV it's as perfect an IR setup as could possibly be. Looks very clean, no extension cables to deal with, and works great. I use VCZHS brand adapters off Amazon they allow me to put the FLIRC in a position where the IR receiver just clears the top of the Shield in the back. I currently have 4 in use, with one spare I carry in my laptop bag when I travel - it's great for hooking up my laptop to hotel TVs, I just carry a very small IR remote that I had laying around with me as well and I can watch Kodi from my hotel bed at night :)įor the Shield/FTV you should bundle these with a decent right-angle usb adapter (or maybe just link folks to them). No problem! You gave me a discount once before, I just found the new ones on Amazon and they appeared to be your official channel (is that correct?) so it was just easier to get them from there. I prefer playback keys (discreet play and pause, stop, ff/rw, etc.) for Kodi since it supports them so well and they are a natural thing to use with a Harmony. and also works great for Kodi-specific stuff. This will result in a setup that works perfectly with all non-Kodi Shield functions - including in apps like HBO Go, etc. If you are using a Harmony and have custom buttons set up for stuff like subtitles this way is easier anyway.
#FLIRC NVIDIA SHIELD FULL#
Use the Shield layout for basic transport (navigation, ok, home, back) and then use the Kodi keymap - or just the full keyboard - for whatever else you want to do.
#FLIRC NVIDIA SHIELD MANUAL#
If you are doing the latter, wipe the FLIRC settings, then do a manual setup for all keys. Again, this was only after I first ran the auto-setup, then went back and mapped keys for Kodi, etc. It also resulted in double-presses for some keys. I found this mapped several things in the background, like playback functions (stop, etc.) to the remote, which meant I had to erase them and do them over. Protip for new Shield FLIRC users using a Harmony: Don't run "automated setup" with the new Shield layout unless you want to exactly duplicate how the Shield remote works (and maybe you do). Any need for any more just write in and I'll get you a discount.
So it really fuels me in the pursuit of a better product/products. Unfortunately, it's a lot easier for someone emotionally driven to send me an upset email than it is for the happy users at home to write in. Whoever is doing that at NVIDIA has no idea that I was working there a couple months ago along side the shield team. I had no idea they dropped the IR support until I started getting emails from people telling me they are actually encouraging folks my way.
I was working at NVIDIA and close to the team that was working on the shield. I have 7 FLIRCs now - 4 original from back in the day and 3 new ones from Amazon. FLIRC in particular is a boon for the new non-Pro since there's no IR receiver hopefully with these updates you find FLIRC becomes just as popular with those as it is now for the FireTV devices.
Thanks for the update! Working great on both my Shields.
