tduerrx123 Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Hi, My specs are:Harmony 900 SW 7.7.0 FW 7.5.0Flirc - SW 1.4.4 FW 3.8 on Linux MintFire TV (original) 5.2 I'm trying to use my Harmony 900 to control my fire tv via the Flirc.I think I've tried everything but am unable to make a connection.I've NEVER been able to get the Harmony remote to ever interact with the Fire Tv. I've created a harmony activity with the following device: Flirc XBMC device (Computer>Media Center PC>Flirc>XBMCI've tried the minimalist and fire tv profile. I have "builtin profiles" selected in advanced settings. I've tried both programming the fire tv profile using the harmony remote and it appears to record thekeys except for the FW and RW. I'm using a USB extender cable as to get the Flirc in line of sight of the Fire tv device .I've NEVER been able to get the Harmony remote to ever interact with the Fire Tv. I can however,change the volume on my TV so I have to assume that I'm sending IR signals and not RFIs my flicr bad or am I missing something obvious.Thanks,Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 So you are adding a flirc - firetv device to your harmony, is that correct?In my software, under advanced, make sure 'built in profiles' is enabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tduerrx123 Posted September 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Thanks for the quick reply.Yes, I had the "built in profiles" enabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tduerrx123 Posted October 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 I've taken the Harmony 900 out of the equation and used a Western Digital Live remote. Using the Flirc software, I programmed the remote for the Fire Tv profile. All remote buttonswere programmed successfully.However, the problem remains, the flirc doesn't control the Fire tv device at all.Is there any troubleshooting steps for the flirc device itself?Can I send back for a diagnostic test? Thanks,Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 I think someone figured this out in another thread. If you go to settings on your firetv, make sure usb debugging is off. This will disable your usb port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tduerrx123 Posted October 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Solved!Turning off "usb debugging" was the key.Thanks for all your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
