androidtv box

[firedog]

Bought the flirc to use with an androidtv box. The box doesn't have IR. It has a remote that works on IP.

The TV Box is an SEI800Y. Not listed with flirc.

I have no clue how to set it up. 

None the instructions I've found on the NET are very useful.

Isn't there some generic programming I can load onto it that should more or less work?

And if there is, how do I load it?

Download my software and then plug the device in. Ignore the update, and go to the shield profile (since it runs on android). That’s controllers -> shield at the top menu. Pair remote buttons by hitting go. Unplug and plug into your android. Make sure adb debugging is off if it doesn’t respond to your remote. Let me know if you get stuck.

Hi-

I didn’t explain myself well. I also have a skip remote. I want the androidtv  box to respond to that, as the remote that came with the tv box is an IP remote. 

Thanks for the response. It helped a bit, but,

 

1.regarding the usb dongle:

a. The androidtv didn’t respond to my remote; 

b. The profile for shield in the usb driver interface seems nothing like what I need to run the tv box; it only shows a few of functions - nothing like channel selection, volume up down. 

c. How do I turn off dab debugging?

2. Using the Flirc Skip with the Android TV box and the Flirc USB:

A.  I see there are profiles in the skip  programming I can load. The shield profiles work, but they also don’t have things that are vital like channel up down, or a number panel for  picking channels. Is there a way to add such functions to the profile for shield in the skip?

B. Are there any suitable profiles existing somewhere that I can download and add?

Thanks

Okay, mostly got it working.

I am having an issue with Channel UP and Channel Down. The codes for that I see are 157 and 156. But on my unit that doesn't change the channel up or down, it just brings up a list of channels to navigate.

Any idea what code might work?
