Nvidia Shield Pro setup, what am I missing?

[georgewagner23]

Just got my remote and i cannot get it to work with the Shield. USB dongle is plugged into the Shield, remote is programmed to only the Sheild. IR receiver is visible. I’ve rebooted, reprogrammed checked every setting I can think of and nothing, any advice. I looked at almost every post on here and haven’t found any solutions.

Is it programmed to Manufacturer: Flirc, Device: Shield?

Make sure ADB Debugging is off.

Not sure what you mean by "Is it programmed to Manufacturer: Flirc, Device: Shield?" , I don't see where you would setup up the Manufacturer. This is probably what I'm missing. I did check and ADB Debugging is off. 

Here is what I've done;

1.Plugged the Flirc Usb into my MacBook and updated firmware. Paired it with the Skip1s. 

2. Setup the Skip 1s with Nvidia Shield as the only remote.

3. Plugged Usb into shield

4. Push buttons.

Ok, I found the step I missed. I didn't realize the USB adaptor could or needed to be set to the Shield as well. Thanks for the assistance.

Cheers

Wait what?

I thought all the IR programming was done through the remote and USB just worked as an IR receiver. I've only ever used Logitech Harmony where the IR receiver was not programmed, just the remote. I honestly had no idea there was separate software for the USB and the Skip1s remote. I thought the software I downloaded worked for both units. I plugged the USB into my laptop but nothing happened. After your reply, I did some searching and found the USB software but still didn't see the drop down to set the USB for the Shield. Long story short, I feel really stupid but happy to get it resolved.

That shouldn’t be necessary unless there was a firmware upgrade. I’ll look into it

Honestly, I don't think there was issue, other than I just didn't understand how the 2 devices worked together.

The shield already comes with a customizable remote that can control your TV and sound system, not sure why your using the flirc/skip1s at all

It only handles volume and power, so you'd imagine they want to do more than that...
