![]() when scrolling a list, flirc may not be responsive and continue to scroll a little longer than you want). You then select the key combination say ALT+SHIFT+1 (use a mouse on the screen) and it waits for an IR input. On the PC you have the FLIRC installed, select the full keyboard from the FLIRC application. Key repeat rate may not be desirable (i.e. What I did was to add a Sony AV Amplifier as a new device to Harmony (you dont have to own it) and mapped keys from that. If nothing is assigned to the button then the button won't be mappable using Flirc GUI as nothing is being sent when it is pressed.Īlso, by default each button is assigned something different, when changing or adding buttons ensure the same action isn't assigned to different key, this will prevent "Button already exists" error when configuring Flirc through the GUI. the subtitle button may not have anything assigned to it for the panasonic device). Using the harmony software or, ensure all buttons have something assigned to them (e.g. In Harmony software or the online utility choose from one of the two option below (best to choose a tv that isn't the same brand as the one you are using) To add further keys to the remote control see this article You should be good to go - you don't need to program buttons using the Flirc gui, we've done that for you. To make the script run interactively at startup: Create a file called ircommander.py in a sensible place: touch /source/python/ircommander.py Make sure it’ll be interpreted as a python script by making the first line: /usr/bin/python3 Make sure the file is executable: chmod + x /source/python/ircommander.(If you're using the harmony software you'll have to choose the device "Media center PC")ĭepending on the Harmony remote model you may have to create an activity that uses the "XBMC Device" If youre using Flirc, Enter the manufacturer as Flirc and the model as Kodi. Go to harmony software or and add a new device Add Kodi to Harmony: During the setup process, Harmony will ask you for.Plug in Flirc and open the Flirc software - the software should automatically upgrade the Flirc firmware (if required).I haven't used it but it seems like a viable option.Make sure you are running the latest version of FLIRC GUI software If you have modern TV and receiver connected to your Shield, I would bet you can get by with just the Shield remote most of the time. ![]() Once that is done I expect I will be able to use the Shield remote much more easily by using CEC to simply turn on/off the TV and Receiver as needed. Eventually I plan to get a new TV, and new receiver. I like its built in keyboard and it works as an airmouse which is kind of cool but not super useful. Everything else is done on the Rii remote. ![]() Most of the time, I tell the Harmony I want to 'Watch Shield' and it turns on the TV and Receiver and sets them to the right inputs and I can use it to adjust the volume if I want. Neither work well with CEC so I need the more function-rich Harmony to make them work well. I didn't bother to get it working because my TV is positively ancient in terms of home theater devices (Vizio VP505 XVT Plasma from 2010/2011 I think) and my receiver is well into middle age (Onkyo TX-NR616 from 2013). ![]() the Shield remote has an IR blaster in it and you can tell the shield that you want to use its remote to run the TV or receiver volume using the shield remote. I *also* have a Harmony One remote that I use to run my TV and receiver. It works very well because it has an integrated keyboard. I have a Shield TV Pro (2019) and I got this remote to work with it (via USB 2.4ghz dongle it came with). ![]()
