jamesldavis Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 I've tried using Panasonic codes on one flirc and Samsung codes on another Flirc plus a few other combos. Everything I've tried that worked for Fire TV also sent signals to the Tivo Stream 4K. What device in the harmony database will talk to one but not the other of my devices (Fire Cube and Stream 4k) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 Which remote profile are you using on your harmony to control those two devices? To confirm, you have a flirc in the Tivo Stream 4k, and a flirc in the firetv cube? What kind of TV do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesldavis Posted September 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 (edited) Yes, I have two flircs, one which I was using for the fire TV cube and one which I was trying to use For the Tivo stream 4K. When I programmed a flirc using my old Vizo TV remote and a Vizo TV being used in the Harmony 650 setup, then both Fire and the Tivo Stream responded to this. Currently, the fire TV Is working using the Flirc Media player in the Harmony setup. I don’t know what codes I can send from each of the two Flircs Harmony that will work for the Fire TV and the Tivo Stream that will not also trigger both streamers. I've tried a Samsung TV codes and another Panasonic TV but they either triggered both or else did not work.

This is because you have CEC enabled. It's a way for your TV to talk with a connected device over HDMI. You can disable this in your TV Settings. 22 hours ago, jamesldavis said: Currently, the fire TV Is working using the Flirc Media player in the Harmony setup. All devices have built in harmony codes, meaning you don't have to do any pairing. So naturally, if you setup your harmony and flirc - firetv on one, the other will respond. To remedy this, open up my software, go to file->advanced and disable the built in profile on the one you don't want to respond. 22 hours ago, jamesldavis said: I've tried a Samsung TV codes and another Panasonic TV but they either triggered both or else did not work. Don't believe it, I think your harmony is configured as noted above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesldavis Posted September 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 It's easy to get Fire TV to respond but not the Tivo 4k. When I disabled CEC in the TV then 4k no longer responded to my old Vizio TV remote. To test, I used Harmony to put left/ right codes for a Panasonic TV into a Flirc and the 4K did not respond. I then tried the same thing for a Samsung TV and the 4k did not respond to that either. 4k also does not respond to the Flirc Media Player of the Harmony but Fire TV does. I don't know what to try that might work for the Tivo Streamer 4k. Apparently the 4k was responding to the the CEC and since turning that off nothing else worked.

You're saying to set up one Flirc with built in Firetv and another flirc with a different built in profile? And disable another built in profle which I woud teach by hand? I don't understand.

jamesldavis Posted September 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 So I discovered that, when CEC is turned on in my Vizio TV, then my Tivo Stream 4 will respond to my old Vizio TV remote and or to my Harmony 650 set to send Vizio codes and this works without any Flirc at all! So, I just turned CEC off in the Fire TV Cube and use a single Flic to control the Fire TV. Thanks for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
