dominic02 Posted February 25, 2023 Report Posted February 25, 2023 Go my skip 1s today and I'm trying to get it to work with my shield tv and can't figure it out. I added it to the activity and it automatically added it to the power on/off as well as most of the expected button. But nothing seems to work. I've got the activity working with my tv and receiver though. It'll power both on and I also got it to change my receivers input to shield tv. But the shield tv never turns on. I tried controlling it after turning it on with the shield tv's remote and none of the buttons seem to work. I've tried with the Shield pro 2019 and the old 2017 shield tv. Quote
JayBee Posted February 25, 2023 Report Posted February 25, 2023 Same here. Got my Skip 1s today and trying to get my Shield setup using Skip App 0.9.6 [master], but not having success. Plugged the Flirc USB into the Shield, chose Set Top Box -> Nvidia -> Shield Android TV and it didn't have any control over the Shield. What was odd was that pressing any of the Shield buttons on the remote would affect my LED lights (LX1 Bias Lighting with IR receiver). It could change the brightness and make it blink/strobe. So then I noticed there are Flirc entries in some of the categories. Under Flirc there are promising options: Amazon Fire TV Kodi NVIDIA Shield Gen1 NVIDIA Shield Gen2 PLEX Windows Media Center The problem is that no matter what option I tried, the built in selections on the Buttons Panel are for some sort of fan. The buttons are for things like airflow speed, fan mode, oscillate toggle, temperature, etc. First thing I need to get figured out is controlling the Shield + Kodi with the Flirc USB. Then I would like to figure out how to reliably control my LED lights so they can be part of the activity and turn on/off when I power the rest of my system. Quote
dominic02 Posted February 25, 2023 Author Report Posted February 25, 2023 I tried the shield tv option under set top. I am trying without a flirc ir receiver. I also tried an older flirc ir receiver I already had and used the gen2 shield option under flirc, but that didn't work either Quote
dominic02 Posted February 25, 2023 Author Report Posted February 25, 2023 I completely forgot the shield tv doesn't have an IR receiver. Tried the old flirc ir receiver but I noticed when I add it in the app all the button options look like they are for controlling a fan of some kind. Which explains why it didn't power on my shield tv when I tried the ir receiver before. Quote
dominic02 Posted February 25, 2023 Author Report Posted February 25, 2023 got it working. Set it back to set-top-box > Nvidia shield. And then updated the firmware on my ir receiver and programmed it for the nvidia shield gen2. Seems to be working great now. Quote
jason Posted February 25, 2023 Report Posted February 25, 2023 I’m going to fix this. Something got messed up with the Flirc USB codes. Should not need to pair anything. Really frustrated. It was working fine. Hopefully I’ll have an update tomorrow. 1 Quote
Sophon Posted March 1, 2023 Report Posted March 1, 2023 Hi, any update on this? I just received my Skip and would love to set it up with my Nvidia Shield 2019 (w/ Flirc on firmware v4.9.6). I'm seeing the same issue where media buttons are not working for the "NVIDIA Shield Gen2" model. Quote
jason Posted March 1, 2023 Report Posted March 1, 2023 Updated. You can download the latest through the app self update or on the site 2 Quote
Sophon Posted March 1, 2023 Report Posted March 1, 2023 Thanks for the quick response! Could you confirm what exactly I should update? The skip app or the firmware (to 4.12.10-beta?). I'm a noob at this :) Quote
