I also added thoughts after two months of its use.That's a tricky thing to solve. I have a Shield TV Pro (2019) and I got this remote to work with it (via USB 2.4ghz dongle it came with). It works very well because it has an integrated keyboard. I *also* have a Harmony One remote that I use to run my TV and receiver. the Shield remote has an IR blaster in it and you can tell the shield that you want to use its remote to run the TV or receiver volume using the shield remote. I didn't bother to get it working because my TV is positively ancient in terms of home theater devices (Vizio VP505 XVT Plasma from 2010/2011 I think) and my receiver is well into middle age (Onkyo TX-NR616 from 2013). Neither work well with CEC so I need the more function-rich Harmony to make them work well. Most of the time, I tell the Harmony I want to 'Watch Shield' and it turns on the TV and Receiver and sets them to the right inputs and I can use it to adjust the volume if I want. Everything else is done on the Rii remote. I like its built in keyboard and it works as an airmouse which is kind of cool but not super useful. Eventually I plan to get a new TV, and new receiver. Once that is done I expect I will be able to use the Shield remote much more easily by using CEC to simply turn on/off the TV and Receiver as needed. If you have modern TV and receiver connected to your Shield, I would bet you can get by with just the Shield remote most of the time. I haven't used it but it seems like a viable option. I'm going to bite the bullet and go for the Nvidia Shield TV Pro. I have a Logitech Harmony 650 remote, which is IR only. I would like to have the Shield up and running in an integrated fashion on the day it arrives, and want to make sure that I'm getting things right. I understand that the Shield native remote is Bluetooth. Without upgrading my remote, that's not much help. I describe another method in the above-linked HID Consumer Codes discussion.I'm seeing conflicting reports on whether the Shield Pro has a built-in IR receiver on the console or not. Optional: In Button Mapper I have the same key open Assistant when long pressed, to invoke Google Assistant voice search no matter where I am: Actions | Assistant, then More Options | disable Alternate assistant. 1 Nothing happens in some apps (Example: Reelgood). In the Android TV launcher, and non voice search-aware apps (Example: Prime Video), it activates the general Google Assistant voice search. In voice search-aware apps (Example: YouTube), it searches within the app itself. KEYCODE_SEARCH behaves differently depending on context. Keyboard/Button Mapper (on Play Store, but needs sideloading for Shield TV): Choose Action | Key Code | KEYCODE_SEARCH Two ways to convert this binding to KEYCODE_SEARCH on Shield:īutton Mapper (on Play Store): Advanced | Custom keycode (ver 2) | 84 The key itself isn't important choose one that is redundant (the left Windows key does the same thing as the right, and this way I can trigger voice search when using a real keyboard) or unused. Using flirc_util record_macro 128 0 I instead have Flirc trained to send the right Windows key, Android keycode META_RIGHT. Flirc can't send this natively as far as I know, whether through its standard keyboard mapping or the hidden HID Consumer Table codes. Remote: Android keycode 84, KEYCODE_SEARCH, triggers Shield's voice search. Be aware of how Shield prefers Nvidia microphones. It is available for $8 new at Amazon I bought mine for $2 used from GameStop. Mic: All Nvidia remotes and game controllers have microphones. The remote does not have a microphone, but it is still possible to use voice search. I've used the same universal IR remote for years, and continue to use it with my 2017 Nvidia Shield TV via Flirc.
