#Flirc xbmc harmony Bluetooth

Bluetooth is integrated on the motherboard (ASUS X99-Deluxe, bt version 4).

I haven't done a lot of research on the subject (yet) and this is based on my personal experience with the official Logitech setup and software with a Windows 10 PC and Kodi version 15 RC2 with a modded version (for v15) of AeonMQ 5 skin. There are also direct commands for changing subtitles and audio track but these don't work either although Kodi displays a notification related to DVD subs/audio when pressed so they might work for disk playback? Some commads could potentially be remapped to different functions with additional software.

Also as said before they can't be reprogrammed so Kodi can't be opened with the Media Center button for example.Īrrow keys and all playback controls work and that is pretty much all that's needed for full operation. Kodi is available for multiple operating-systems and hardware platforms, featuring a 10-foot user interface for use with televisions and remote controls. There is also a full keyboard layout (what I used for XBMC instead) in FLIRC. Inside of Flircs software is a simple XBMC layout thats already there, you just press a key and then map it on your remote. There are also Media Center, Video, Music, Movie, Radio, Live TV buttons and some of these do work with Kodi. Kodi is a free and open source media player application developed by the XBMC Foundation, a non-profit technology consortium. The Flirc basically receives IR commands from my Harmony One and outputs them as keyboard commands to my computer.

Media related commands are based on MCE Remote if I'm not mistaken but there are also additional commands like the Windows-key, 1st - 3rd pinned to taskbar, Charms and F-keys preprogrammed. It can be set to control a Windows PC via bluetooth and so Kodi can be controlled with it out of the box as long as your PC has bluetooth (not included with the remote).Ĭustomization is limited and commands can't be added. I have the Harmony Ultimate and I use it to control Kodi. My eHome-ish receiver does everything I need (I use a Diamond media one I got from ebay for $5 which technically isn't MCE either). I don't need any extra capabilities and don't want to bother programming anything. The Harmony has a built in profile for XBMC thats been fine tuned to work perfectly with flirc. I have an Flirc dongle, but I never use it. You aren't tied to any devices, IR protocols or commands. For example, you could make the CH+ from your TV remote (or TV device on Harmony) do CH+ (or anything you can imagine) in Kodi. Most will work by default, but it's highly configurable and works with any IR signals, not just MCE. With Flirc, you have to do some programming to make it do everything you want.

You can do all the basic media control commands plus several keyboard commands. If you buy an eHome (MCE/RC6) dongle, then all is plug and play. Then use Flirc software to associate various IR signals from your remote with specific commands. Click on Go, and the software will walk you through pairing your remote control. Once the Flirc GUI is installed, fire it up and select the file menu called controllers, and choose NVIDIA Shield.

Head to your computer, and install the flirc software. But, yes, you can use any remote and whatever software you use to program that remote to build a device or use an existing device. In this case, make sure the NVIDIA Shield remote is active on your harmony. It's far more than an eHome receiver (not transceiver). There are a couple of known issues (key repeat, button press lag.) which I haven't been able to completely solve, also a number of guides and tips exists as to what device to emulate on the Harmony etc. It's a very generic control device that can receive any IR signal and execute any command. Hi, for quite some time I am trying to read up on the matter of using Harmony Remotes with a flirc receiver to control XBMC. I’ve turned off posting to the older firmware images because they have rolled into this one.Click to expand.No, it isn't. For example, you can grab a logitech harmony or an inteset remote, add the flirc - firetv profile to your remote, and your remote + flirc will work with your firetv without any additional setup. This will make it into the next major release of the firmware, and the goal is to have Plex, WMCE, and EyeTV harmony profiles as well. All the buttons in this profile have been paired already with all the XBMC keyboard keys (eden), so you don’t need to do any work. Once added your flirc will work without the need for the pairing software with your favorite media center application, XBMC. You’ll need to download the latest release of the firmware: Harmony users can now add a flirc device to their remote where no codes will collide with their television, the protocol is fine tuned for flirc, and setup just got a whole lot easier. This is one of the most exciting announcements to date.
