I have an Xbox One with Kinect and I have got it to control my FireTV which has Kodi installed on it. I looked on the forum before buying to see if anyone had this working but I couldn't find anything so I decided to buy and try.
## I can only get 7 command working since when the XBone only sends out IR on 7 commands to control your cable box when in TV app. Other commands like ONEguide don't send IR. If there are more let me know but I could only get 7 commands###
Since I didn't have a remote I had to tell the XBone that I had a cable box so that it will send those IR commands out when using voice commands.
I picked COX and any type of model. I don't believe it matters since you will pair these commands with the FLIRC.
The XBone voice commands that can be paired are .
XBOX SKIP BACKWARD
XBOX REWIND
XBOX STOP
XBOX PAUSE
XBOX PLAY
XBOX FAST FORWARD
XBOX SKIP FORWARD
I setup my laptop with FLIRC software and FLIRC installed. Lauch it v3.6 and open up the firetv skin. I had my laptop setup near my Kinect so it can capture the IR signal. The voice commands can also be control with a controller.
I then simply paired the following.
XBOX SKIP BACKWARD = LEFT
XBOX REWIND = UP
XBOX STOP = SELECT
XBOX PAUSE = RETURN/ESCAPE
XBOX PLAY = PLAY/Pause
XBOX FAST FORWARD = Right
XBOX SKIP FORWARD = Down
This allows me work voice control my FireTV which in term controls Kodi. I do sometimes get double or triple commands sent. I saw a few tipson how to try to resolve them and hope that fixes it.
