Prior to installing Kodi, FireTV must enable developer section stuff. One of the options is USB Debugging mode, not required, but you may inadvertently turned it ON. You need to turn that OFF for Flicr to work with the FIreTV. This was a bone head mistake I did that took me a moment or two to figure out. Once that is disabled, viola!

Hello, I have a fairly basic question I believe, but couldn't seem to find an answer to this. I want to know how this works when switching between two devices with one remote, once controlled by flirc and one not. Is there a way to program a button to switch between devices or stop/start controlling the flirc device? I have a simple setup. LG TV, Xfinity Cable, Amazon Fire TV. I want to control all three with the Xfinity remote (Don't want to give up the voice search on Xfinity). So I plan on using the Flirc in the Amazon fire TV since it doesn't have IR. I have read that the Flirc works with the Fire TV and that it works with the Xfinity remote. I want to know if when I am scrolling through channels on the cable input if all the key presses will also be taking place on my Amazon Fire TV, and vice versa. What I have read is that it will be controlling both at once. Is there a way to switch it between the two? Or turn it off? Ideally it would just turn off/on depending on the input, but I know that is asking a lot. Thanks!

I have an amazon fire tv/flirc/harmony setup. Using the panasonic tv profile I have remapped all of the buttons to exactly how I like them. Though I have run into one small snag. I used one of the buttons to program the media center sleep/suspend command and put the amazon fire tv to sleep. With that button now programmed for sleep I setup the harmony remote to press that button when I press off to turn off all devices. It all works great and I love it. Recently I have had the issue with repeated key presses on the remote. If I enable the noise canceler in the advanced setup it goes away and that problem is solved. But now with the noise canceler on, the harmony no longer puts the amazon to sleep. If I go back and turn off the noise canceler, the fire tv goes to sleep when I press off on the harmony but I am stuck with the repeated key presses issue. Is there any way to allow these to work hand in hand? Thanks

Hi there. I bought a Flirc so I could use my Harmony remote with the Fire TV. Is there a config file I could use somewhere? Any recommendations?

Please consider [also] having amazon perform fulfillment. Prime members (like myself) would then receive the device within two days, or one day for an additional $4. http://fba.amazon.com http://www.amazon.co...odeId=200229160 compare your costs https://sellercentra...calculator.html :) I hope to use fLirc with XBMCbuntu and a not so old Philips dvp5992 remote (DVD/divx player. $45 cheap pseudo htpc alternative).
