I don't think so. The HUB doesn't have any kind of IR input, does it?

Happy to work through the rest, but I wanted to start here. I have an Apple TV 4K as well, and the Skip is working fine controlling it. Just to rule things out, have you made sure the controls you want are on the remote in the Skip app? So up is on the up button, etc?

Presumably you're using a Flirc USB with NUC, right? Add something completely unrelated to the Shield like a home automation device or something, doesn't matter what, as long as it has a bunch of buttons. Then train your Flirc off those buttons using the Flirc app with the Kodi controller. What you're experiencing really probably shouldn't be happening, but this would definitely prevent it.

We actually have an email written and ready to send, but stopped because we realized the most recent update 0.9.93 probably needed a full blogpost to explain what was going on. Plan is to publish both at the same time. When the email goes out, it'll include .93, .92, and .90 changelogs. Excepting 93, it's mostly just adding devices and performance improvements, so not super exciting, but we should hopefully get it finally sent out in the next little while. After that, I think they should start going out more regularly.

You can do it that way as well, you'd just add the same devices for B and C

Hi @DaveNJ, it might be this should all be under a single activity (or possibly two). Are Netflix and Prime being run off your TV or your cable box? I'm guessing it'd be your TV. If so, I'd say make activity A your cable box/HDMI, and activity B your TV. Then assign some unused buttons to switching between Netflix and Prime, perhaps this would be a good use of the color wheel.

Ahh, so just a category issue. We can add it over to audio and that should fix it then.

Unfortunately, I'm not finding an example of this particular device. May need to learn it from the original remote.

Just doublechecking, is the IOTAVX something other than an Onkyo receiver? If so, I will create a new thread for it so we can be sure not to miss it and get it into the app

I'm afraid I'm not sure what's happening here. Jason and the team are currently in the process of shipping about a thousand remotes to people, so he may take a sec to respond. In the meantime, could you grab the log for your remote and the app? Instructions below. My only other suggestion would be to try downgrading your remote's firmware back to whatever it was and checking again. You can find a list of firmwares and software to downgrade here: The safer move, though, would be to just post your log and see if Jason can figure out anything after shipping is done.

I'm not experiencing this myself on 4.12.18. Can you confirm that all the commands are still assigned to the power button, like in the screenshot below?

Yep, turns out it was a setting that was not on. You'd think that one would be on be default!

Honestly, I'm not sure how Mailchimp's welcome service works. I'll see about setting up if it isn't.

If you're using a Flirc, just pick any of the Flirc options that correlate to what you want to do with keyboard commands when setting up the Skip, then after the Skip is setup, train the Flirc with those new commands. I don't think the Flirc comes with a full set of keyboard commands built in, so that still requires training in the Flirc app.

We haven't really done this before, but it sounds as though more people would like this kind of thing, so I've made a signup form specifically for skip updates.

Hi all! It's been requested that we provide some kind of easy way to get notifications about new updates to Skip and the Skip App. Seemed like the easiest way to do this was to create a subgroup of our mailing list that was specifically for Skip news and changelogs. For the most part, we pretty rarely send out a lot of emails, so this will be a bit of a change for us and a learning experience. So if you sign up and don't like the frequency of emails (too many, too few, etc.) feel free to comment below. We want this to be a collaborative process. Signup form can be found on the Skip page under downloads: https://flirc.tv/products/skip1s-remote-universal-remote-control?variant=43489094729960#spec2

Are you using a Flirc to control the Mac mini? Or do you have one of those older Mac minis that has an IR sensor?

That should probably not be visible at all. It's the scroll for the activities behind the button panel. Will talk to the UX team about making that go away when the buttons panel is open in compact mode.

Removing any button should just remove the button, it shouldn't prevent it from being added elsewhere or back. Are you still experiencing this? I don't think I've seen this behavior and would like to try to replicate it.

If you plug it back in, does it work again? I'm curious if there's something odd going on with the batteries.

I might be misunderstanding the question, but the Skip doesn't come pre-programmed with Flirc commands, though that's not a terrible idea. The expectation is that you'll want to set up the Skip with more than just a Flirc, so each remote comes clean and expects at least a first run of the Skip App to set things up the first time.

Plan is for learning to become a pretty important part of the setup, especially if something goes wrong like this. Beyond stability improvements, this is the biggest feature we're currently working on.

I'm adding this to a ticket so Jason can make sure he doesn't lose it. In the meantime, I'd suggest, since Mute and Un-Mute are different commands, to put them on different buttons, if you happen to have a free button near the bottom of the remote.
