Under Controllers->Media Keys, there are keys to sleep the machine as well as keys to do system wide media player keys (app doesn't have to be in focus). Let me know if there is something else missing from the windows media center key shortcut list.

I read your PM, and what it sounds like is the following: You have flirc programmed, and installed in the pi. You go to your other PC, and ssh into it. When you press on your remote control buttons, they don't show up in your SSH remote session, is that right? If so, that's actually expected. The SSH session is a virtual console into the machine. Your mouse and keyboard are plugged into the machine, and on another 'virtual console'. Actually the display manager. Whatever is showing up on the HDMI interface, is assigned to this same virtual console (display manager 0). You wont see keystrokes unless you are looking at the monitor.

Basically we only see the button when you press it, and nothing indicating you are still holding it down. Were you holding it down when you captured it? Is the verizon remote a universal remote too (Does it control other devices)?

Can you go to File->Device log. Enable logging. Press and hold one of the buttons, and paste / share the output here.

The harmony had no lag with the nexus? The harmony remotes have tremendous lag, I've talked with them about it, it's built in on purpose. There shouldn't be any lag with flirc.

I can't figure out how they are doing their long press. I've lost all contacts at amazon because of their turnover. One day, I'll need to sit down and test a bunch of keys. Theoretically, it's possible. But we need to figure out what HID key they expect.

Download my software. Plug in your flirc and go to Controllers-->"Nvidia Shield" http://cl.flirc.io/35e1393420d2 Hit go and pair your IR Remote. Take out Flirc, and plug it into your shield. Should work with your previously paired remote on your shield with no pairing software needed on the shield

Pair on your PC, then bring it over to your shield, it'll work with your previously paired remote without any additional software

Can you install the kodi keymapper addon, you'll be able to tell what key is for the play/pause.

can you hook up a keyboard, figure out which keys are the play/pause buttons?

What remote are you using? Have you ever used my software before?

There is no reason it would crash. Kodi crashes? Or the Operating system? Try the play / pause from the media key controller: http://cl.flirc.io/73d2eeb9f8d0

No need to upgrade ,the old one works fine.

Hang in there, fixed a bunch of build issues, and am going to address this. I'll really try to have it pushed tomorrow.

Glad it's working.
