amrothery Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 The Flirc app seems to be recording and programming the receiver properly, but when I plug it into my Fire Stick and try to use the remote, nothing happens. The Fire Stick is a 2nd gen model. The remotes I've tried are the Skip (which I love for Kodi and broadcasting) and a random universal from GE I had lying around. I'm using the Linux version of the app. Windows is available to me if that's what I need to use to get it working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 Make sure ADB debugging is off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amrothery Posted May 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 I've never turned ADB debugging on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amrothery Posted May 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 I went ahead and played around a little. Activated developer mode on my Fire stick, then turned on ADB and rebooted. Then I went back in and turned ADB off. Still nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amrothery Posted May 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2023 With a day off of work, I decided to try another Fire stick I happened to have lying around, just in case the problem was with that and not the Flirc Fire TV Edition. Still nothing. Again, ADB was never turned on. Is my Flirc just a dud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amrothery Posted May 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2023 Not a dud. Like I said in my original post, I originally tried programming the Flirc with the Linux app, to no success. With nothing else to try, I decided to boot into WIndows and try that version of the app. It worked. I can now control my TV, my Fire Stick, and my Kodi from a single Skip remote. It would appear the issue lies with the Linux app; probably needs to be updated for the new hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
