Flirc - Computer Monitor - Fire TV Stick

[George S]

Hi all,

Wanted some info if someone can help me

i have a computer monitor (dell s2719h) and a fire tv stick which i connect to it through hdmi ,all good till now ,everything is working ok except 2 things.. i can’t control the volume and turn on/off the fire stick using the remote ,everything else is working without a problem. So.. my question is.. 

if i attach the flirc usb to the fire stick is possible to control the volume and turn on/of the fire stick using the fire remote ? I was thinking that is not working now because the monitor/fire stick doesn’t have ir .. so if i add the flirc to fire stick maybe will work ?! 
Any ideas ? Has someone tryed it ?

thanks
