Put in another way – one button can act in different ways based on the context in the user interface. This basically means, that You can have a button work one way if you are in one menu and have the same button act in another way in some other menu. One of the features that makes kodi extremely flexible is that you can create keymaps. Here is a complete list of Kodi keyboard commands Second step – create kodi keymap

Below is how I mapped the Apple tv remote buttons. One important thing to know about flirc is that it just records keybord commands. First step – configure the remote to work with flirc – pairing buttons If You need to know more about kodi, please visit their wiki.

If You need any information about how to configure flirc, please visit their website. I will not go into details of how to use flirc or kodi – but will focus on the procedure you need to go through.

Apple remote (I prefer the 3rd gen because of the 7 buttons).

The price is also very attractive compared to other remotes like Logitech Harmony The apple tv remote (3rd gen.) has a simple and very nice aluminum design with just a few simple buttons used to navigate. And somehow that lead me into wanting to use an apple tv remote along with kodi. I wanted a remote of good qaility, nice design and not too expensive. For just navigating kodi I started to search for a more simple remote. On most of the tv manufacturers remote controls, the arrow and media buttons are in the bottom region of the remote. On of the advantages with Kodi is that it works with HDMI cec, wich basically means that You can use Your regular tv remote since all button input signals will be transfered using Your HDMI cable – nice. I've seen a few threads around this dated over the past few years, but is there a fix?Ģnd Edit - This morning it is working fine again! Laptop went to sleep over night, I didnt change anything after last night when it was misbehaving.I have become a big fan of both kodi and Raspberry Pi. So still not usable, but does it sound like anything you have seen before?Įdit - the laptop going to sleep seems to be the trigger for it not working. if I hit say right arrow then nothing happens for a second or two and then it jumps a few rows to the right. I tried this with other buttons and it seems to be doing this with all of them. Just now I tried again and was getting nothing still, but then I pressed and held a button (up arrow) and after about 1-2 secs - it moved up, but 2 or 3 rows. I tried for a few minutes but was getting nothing. Like it had been asleep.Ī few hours later I turned everything on again to watch a show - and it appeared it had stopped working.

This afternoon after work I turned everything on and initially it didnt work, but then after 30 secs or so it started slowly responding and within a full minute it was working again. With the second unit last night I upgraded firmware, added Flirc/XBMC in Logitech remote, configured all the buttons in the Logitech, then configured the buttons in the Flirc app.Įverything then worked perfectly - i mucked about with it for an hour or so, no troubles. Sorry for disjointed post, but I am seeing disjointed issues and the vendor support I bought the device from stopped replying to my emails earlier today. But have a Windows laptop now so Mira no good so bought a Flirc. I have Apple stuff everywhere and use to use Mira USB for driving my Macbook media centre, that worked out of the box and never required any tweaking.

I dont really want to have to do a fresh install of everything every time I want to use it! Wireless keybaord isn't that annoying that I want to subject myself to all this. Pressing the right direction arrow about 10 times made it move at one point, and I said 'see!' but she was not impressed. I called my wife and said hey look its working and gave her the remote - and it had stopped working.

Later I removed everything, including drivers and started all over and rebooted and it was working.

Plugged stuff in and back out, tried lots of combinations of things, at one point it sort of worked by with about a 7 second delay. Tried all of the above again, at one point seemed the remote was spamming keystrokes at Flirc so I opened a text doc and sure enough keystrokes typing across the page. Turned on Plex today, remote not working at all. Went to bed, W7 machine goes to sleep overnight. Rebooted windows, started working perfectly. Tried all combos - gui + logitech, just GUI, just Logitech, none - all no response Tried adding Flirx-XBMC in Logitech - no response Tried programming keys with the GUI - no response when using remote Drivers seemed OK, could see in device mgr. Initially I installed the GUI, plugged it in and it showed connected. I received a Flirc yesterday for my home rig and have had a variety of issues.
