AWD Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Want to set up Nvidia Shield running Kodi with a Harmony 900.I set this up with the Harmony software. Checking the 'customize buttons' option after I see presets for the Shield as well as my receiver for volume.Don't see a single thing for the Flirc even though it says here https://flirc.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/200712568-Logitech-Harmony-Remotes that "You should be good to go - you don't need to program buttons using the Flirc gui, we've done that for you."Even after setting commands in the customize buttons on the Harmony software and I plug the Flirc in my Shield it does nothing.Nothing is programmed. If I run the Flirc software and try to manually program buttons pressing a button on my Harmony does nothing. I tried other 'IR' remotes and it worked.Is this because the Harmony is an RF remote? If so how am I supposed to program it? Why wasn't it programmed automatically?All software for Harmony and Flirc is up to date?Can someone help me out with a step by step? This should have been an effortless install but I've already wasted at least an hour.Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWD Posted August 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Ok, so I have it figured out I think. Didn't test on the Shield yet but its working on the computer.One or two things in combination I didn't do.#1 First thing you need to do is start the 'activity' with the Harmony remote.#2 You have to have the button assigned with the 'customize buttons' option in the Harmony software. Apparantly a button can't be assigned in Flirc if its not assigned in Harmony first....which is logical I guess as if its not assigned in the Harmony menu the the remote is not sending a signal when the button is pushed.

AWD Posted August 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Ok, I lied. Its not working. Things register ok on my PC but not on my Shield. Besides cramming this dongle into the Shield is there anything I have to do to activate it or get it running? How do I know if the Nvidia recognized it?
