I haven’t tried a USB hub so I don’t know. But to solve your IR Problem you can also use an infrared receiver like this:

@randman but also to you happens, that you have to point the remote ir towards the shield ? If you point the ir remote, a little more sideways can you still command the shield? or does it not receive infrared signal?

Yes, you need to use a PC to teach the Flirc the commands that you want to use. Download the software from Flirc. No lag problem for me.
@randman thank you, I'm trying the usb ir flirc and it seems to be all right.
only problem can I use a usb hub ? both to expand the 2 few usb ports and to have better infrared reception of the flirc ?
currently the usb flirc is connected on the back shield pro, and infrared reception and targeted only if the remote control is aimed directed at the nvidia shield, if it is prolonged frontally the reception definitely better without having to point towards the net shield , I say well ?

did you manage to teach all the keys ? also the keys rewind, forward, play pause?when i download the flirc program on windows the pc gives me error virus how did you do it?to use the flirc stick, is the usb extension required to bring infrared pointing reception forward? considering, that the nvidia shield has usb ports on the back -

I'm away, so I don't have access to my Nvidia Shield TV.. It's been a while since I setup the Flirc. I setup my Flirc a few days after the 2019 Nvidia Shield TV Pro was released, and at the time, there was little or no information about setting up the Flirc for the 2019 Nvidia Shield TV Pro. There may have been updated software or other users' configuration posted since then, but I haven't kept up since I was satisfied with my setup. Anyway, I took some notes for what I used in the Flirc software, which I've written below. Note that this was with version 3.24.0 of the software. I don't know if there's been changes to the software since then, since I haven't looked.
At the time, I taught my universal remote (Pronto TSU9400) the old (pre-2019) Nvidia Shield IR codes. Then, I started the Flirc software and taught the Flirc the Nvidia Shield IR codes from my Pronto TSU9400. I had to use 3 different parts of the Flirc software as indicated below. In the notes below, I mention the Flirc keys, each of which would be programmed using the most appropriate key in your remote control.
Under Controllers->NVIDIA Shield:
Here, I configured the following: Cursor Keys, Select (Ok), Back and Home.Controllers->Kodi:
Here, I configured: Numeric keys (0 to 9), ch+/ch- (these behave like cursor up/down), play, pause, shutdown. However, the shutdown key behaved like power on. I didn't bother worrying about power off/sleep since (a) I didn't find a solution and (b) Shield is configured to go to sleep automatically if unused for a configurable number of minutes.
When playing a movie in Plex, the play and pause buttons behave similarly (play causes movie
to play if paused, or if movie is playing, play button pauses it).Controllers->Media Keys:
Rewind, Forward, Stop. Note that the cursor key left and right buttons can also be used for rewind and forward, at least in Plex.
Last and Exit seem to work the same way
Edit: Just realized I posted information last November 2019. Sorry, but I am away and so don't have access to my Nvidia Shield TV and Flirc, but hopefully notes from November 3, 2019 will help you.
the my remote control already configured with the codes, must teach the commands to the flirc that must be connected to the right pc? and starting the appropriate flirc software via pc ?? so at flirc don't need ready-made configuration files?flirc usb does it work perfectly without lag with the nvidia shield 2019? I ask you this because the support via chat of the nvidia shield, some customers have reported to them, lag with the usb flirc to control the nvidia shield via infrared, I asked if they had a list of compatible usb ir for nvidia shield and they say that they do not have this list compatibility -
help please

Add support FLIRC v2 USB on Roku Now Tv Smart Stick
in Ideas and Suggestions
Posted · Edited by RoyalPains
i have a suggestions for Flirc developers, is possible add support, for use a roku now tv smart stick with infrared remote control with a FLIRC V2 USB ?
maybe using the old remote control codes of the first roku models with infrared included, it will be possible to control the roku now tv stick bluetooth via infrared usb flirc v2 connected on otg cable which also powers the stick and have usb (i have attached cable image) , but to do this you definitely need an update of flirc v2 usb
