Is there anyone who was able to get the Settings- and Netflix-Button from the "Shield Pro 2019"-Remote to work on a Harmony remote with the Flirc?

Check this post for the settings button

Should be the same for the netflix button, just need to find the good code :p

Mark, If this is in reference to my post above then yes I was talking about the 2019 Shield TV Pro.  And yes all functions work with the exception of power off when you are using a Logitech Harmony.

I beg to differ, I managed to make the power off function work on my logitech harmony one

(check my previous posts on the subject)

Hi, I own a Shield TV Pro 2019 and noticed the sleep/suspend button works to put it in standby, but it doesn't wake it up. I have to send a random key like direction down to wake it.

Besides that, I discovered that the "settings" button on the new remote matches the kay named "the menu key" or  "the application key" on a windows oriented keyboard (bottom right, next to the Ctrl key). But I can't find it in the Full Keyboard layout of the Flirc app. Can you add it ?

 

Thanks !

I used this command in a "cmd windows" to add this key to a button on my Harmony One :

flirc_util.exe record_api 0 101

I've explained how I added the "sleep/wake up" on this post

I hope it will work for you :)

[2019 Nvidia Shield TV remote]

Hey guys, I've been setting up my parents nVidia Shield 2019 with their Harmony One remote and I've managed to make the Shield go to sleep using Flirc.

I've not been using just one IR code profile on the Logitech Harmony Remote Software, but two.

I've used the "old" Shield IR profile one for the directions (up, down, left, right, ok, back and home) and media keys (play, stop, rewind, etc...) and for all other commands (custom Kodi commands, F8 in netflix to show informations, etc...) I've used an other profile (because the Shield IR one didn't have enough commands and also because some of them were the same with different names so one would be erasing the other). I used a Yamaha Amplifier for the other profile because my parents don't own any Yamaha product so there was no chance of conflict.

The command in Flirc I used to go to sleep is the Power button in the "Media Keys" section (set up to a command in the other IR profile).

The "ok" button in the Shield IR profile was used to wake up the shield.

So, for each device (Shield & Yamaha) in the Harmony Software I made these advanced changes :

• Shield device : "Ok" to power on, "no button" to power down
• Yamaha device : "no button" to power up, "the command I chose" to power down

This way I created an "Watch Shield" activity which used 4 devices :

• My parents TV
• Their amplifier
• Shield device
• Yamah device

And everything works like a charm.

I also managed to find the "settings" button in the Shield remote. It's the "Application" (or "Menu") on a Windows keyboard (I plugged a USB keyboard in the Shield to test each key).

Since Flirc doesn't propose it in the "Full Keyboard" profile, I set it up to one button on my harmony using this command :

flirc_util.exe record_api 0 101

(101 being the HID code for the "Application" key on a keyboard)

I haven't search the Netflix button because my parents don't care using the menu to access it.
