[[GUIDE] getting Flirc to work with OUYA]

That's great, thanks very much. 

 

I'll have a play later today and see how I go and report back any issues. 

[[GUIDE] getting Flirc to work with OUYA]

Stacy, et. al.:

 

Glad to say that after a console reflash I have everything working.  I used the kl file here but with some modifications.

 

To answer my own earlier question, the OUYA buttons are mapped using the usual interal keycodes:

 

BUTTON_A = the O button

BUTTON_B = the A button

BUTTON_X = the U button

BUTTON_Y = the Y button

 

Yeah, that's a bit confusing but that the usual button layout of a playstation controller, of course.

 

So I changed the keymap around so that "return" key on the Harmony maps to the Ouya O button and and "back" maps to the Ouya A button.  This gets around the fact that the keyboard behavor is different on differenl Ouya launch screens.  If you plug in a USB keyboard, Enter and ESC do not work on all the screens.  Hopefully as the OUYA launcher matures this will be fixed.  At that point programming the Flirc (at least for my situation as I have no home key to use) will just be a matter of mapping the correct keyboard keys.

 

Thanks for the info... hope this helps someone as well.

Hi, 

 

I'm just working through the keymaps for my Flirc/Ouya/Harmony and came across your post. 

 

Care to share your .kl file? I'm not sure I understand what you have changed in the files above to get the fix for enter and escape working on the remote. 

 

Are you mapping the Ouya controller O and A buttons to act exclusively as enter and escape respectively on the Ouya itself? Does this affect the usability at all? I've noticed that I HAVE to use the O and A buttons on the controller some times so wouldn't removing the map for those also remove their ability to behave as intended and render the controller useless? 

 

I have my Harmony setup well for navigating plex as plex interprets enter and escape correctly. It's just when I get back into the main menu's that I have to use the controller to navigate around/back into plex. 

 

Thanks in advance.
