![]() ![]() This guide may have helped IF I owned a Kodi remote control and IF that Kodi remote control provided a key to bring up the Player OSD, but I don't happen to own a Kodi remote.ĭon't get me wrong. The Flirc/Kodi/Harmony profile doesn't offer a built-in "Player Controls OSD" function, and every time I've attempted to program my Harmony/Flirc remote to do something as simple as "type the letter 'M'," I've been defeated by the quite frustrating lack of information on how to do all but a few super-simple preset things with Flirc. In Kodi, typing the letter "M" on a keyboard during playback brings up the "Player controls OSD," which is apparently the only way to access subtitle downloads, as well as other video and audio settings during playback. Now you can program that button using the Flirc GUI Repeat this for as many commands as you need to add then remember to sync the settings: If successful, when you hover over the button it will show the command you dragged onto it: Then drag and drop this new command onto the button you want (in this example "Favourite 1"): The new command will now show up on the side bar (highlighted below): If successful you should see a message similar to this: For my button I used an old blu-ray player remote I had: The software will guide you through the steps of adding the new button. Then we want to "Add a missing command", in the case i'm adding a button to open an app called "Kodi" (hence the name of the new command): I'm choosing "Favourite 1" button to program in this example, as you can see it has nothing assigned to the button:Ĭlick "Teach command" in the bottom right corner of the window: If we want to add a custom command then we'll have to add a signal. If the remote button has nothing assigned to the button, when it is pressed it won't emit a signal (so Flirc has nothing to respond to). Below is an example of hovering over the keys: If the button is not assigned then the software will say " Nothing (Not assigned)". To determine what buttons have functions paired with them hover over the button with your cursor. You then be presented with a virtual picture of your remote control (in this example I have a harmony 300): Select the "Buttons" tab then click the drop down menu and select "Flirc Media Player" Open the "myharmony" app (available here: ) This article describes how to add customs buttons to your harmony remote which you can then map to a custom keyboard combination on flirc (e.g. ![]() Only two of those work - menu and info.For information setting up your harmony device to work with flirc see this article I am having trouble with other commands however, like menu, exit, info, and guide. Volume and mute are TV functions so flirc does not do those and they are Harmony IR signals. It receives many of the signals and sends them to my slingbox IR sensor to change channels using number entry etc. Once in Slingplayer app I can use flire IR signals with the Flirc connected to the USB port on the Fire TV box. ![]() I start the slingplayer app with my direction keys, and enter. In my case the devices are FLirc and my TV since I am running in Fire TV to start up. I have been able to get about 60-70% of the buttons on my Harmony to do navigation, numbers buttons, enter/select/ok, directions buttons, and when I program an activity on Harmony it will activate my devices. Did you use keyboard shortcuts or remote pairing with your other system remotes? I am using Fire TV 2nd gen, with Slingplayer App to run remote tv cable connection. Can you tell me how you did this pairing to work with Fire TV, Harmony, and Flirc. ![]()
