It's *WAY* more complicated than it needs to be because these stupid streaming devices need better remotes. Flirc is connected to the Pi and it relays commands to the firestick via ADB using trigger happy. You could also use a generic USB keyboard receiver plugged into the firestick but I had an extra hub sitting around so that's what I used. In my case I needed the harmony hub to establish itself as a bluetooth keyboard with the firestick. I have a working solution for this that my wife is super happy with and also opens the possibility for way more control of these devices utilizing a harmony hub, Flirc USB, raspberry pi zero w, and the built in hotkey daemon triggerhappy. Inter-key delay: N/A for current firmwareĦ 0059754B 130 01 E <- I have no idea where these came from For example, if I program the numeric buttons into the remote, they show up in the logcat that exact way with the correct $ flirc_util settings That unhandled keycode is what AmzPhoneWindowManager is receiving from the button press, so there's some kind of trickery going on somewhere on the fire stick that's converting the correct keycode to it. It's absolutely killing me that the damned guide button on Amazon's new hardware is what's holding this up! lol The beauty of the Firestick is the interface is pretty much exactly the same as what we're both used to for live tv and combined with the fire tv recast it puts all our OTA channels and Philo channels in the same guide and there's no extra subscription. Plus I hate the subscription model for getchannels or any app for that matter. I know, first world problems, but it's an issue for her which means it's an issue for me. Plus IIRC the guide did not loop around back to the top when you got to the bottom. We have Philo and several of the channels we watch do not have TV Everywhere equivalents which means you'd have to switch to the Philo app to watch them. I'm working with a very low wife acceptance factor here and there were too many compromises with get channels. I actually have two ATSC HDHR's and I've tried getchannels.
