  1. So do as per what you quoted:

     

     

    Ehh and that is how?
    Program my harmony with Shield device.
    Add another whatever device that does not iterfear with other IR devices.
    Start Flirc config and select the Shield profile and map those buttons, then switch to full keboard and program the rest?

    Told you I dont get it.. but that is my best guess.

  2. Protip for new Shield FLIRC users using a Harmony: Don't run "automated setup" with the new Shield layout unless you want to exactly duplicate how the Shield remote works (and maybe you do).

    I found this mapped several things in the background, like playback functions (stop, etc.) to the remote, which meant I had to erase them and do them over. It also resulted in double-presses for some keys. Again, this was only after I first ran the auto-setup, then went back and mapped keys for Kodi, etc. manually.

    If you are doing the latter, wipe the FLIRC settings, then do a manual setup for all keys. Use the Shield layout for basic transport (navigation, ok, home, back) and then use the Kodi keymap - or just the full keyboard - for whatever else you want to do. If you are using a Harmony and have custom buttons set up for stuff like subtitles this way is easier anyway.

    This will result in a setup that works perfectly with all non-Kodi Shield functions - including in apps like HBO Go, etc. - and also works great for Kodi-specific stuff. I prefer playback keys (discreet play and pause, stop, ff/rw, etc.) for Kodi since it supports them so well and they are a natural thing to use with a Harmony. 

    I have been reading that post and others like it many times here and at other forums, but I must be really stupid cuz I still dont get it.

    I have ordered a Shield and a new Flirc, still dont have any of them they are in shipping so I cannot play with them just yet.

    I do have the old flirc and an RPI in the bedroom, also got my gf a flirc and RPI so I do get some part.. but what I did was just map a keyboard for use with openelec and that was really simple and have been working great. So what is so special and confusing about getting it running with the Shield? I'm not just gonna run Kodi on it, I'll use it for Netlix, HBO Nordic (if they can make an app) Viaplay, SVT Play and blah blah blah... so I want the remote to work in all apps just like the original remote + extra keys for Kodi and apps alike.

    My hardware will be:
    Shield 2017
    New Flirc
    Harmony 900

    Please explain :)
