RE: Amazon Fire TV for XBMC - Dealwagon - 2014-05-18

Where can I find the latest on which IR receiver to get? I need to get this working with my Harmony. I see an ortek mentioned, but which one?

Just spend the $ and buy the Ultimate Harmony Remote, http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00BQ5RY1G/sr=8-3/qid=1400419363/ref=olp_tab_refurbished?ie=UTF8&colid=&coliid=&condition=refurbished&me=&qid=1400419363&seller=&sr=8-3

Its touch screen and does IR - RF - and Bluetooth for every single device you could own. Plus you can use your smartphones to control them too.

Cheers

Does the harmony bluetooth pair with firetv as a remote?

Im having some issues with StepForward. While watching a video when i press step forward once, the video will jump to the spot in the show. But the moment i let go of the button it will jump back the beginning of the video and show 00:00. Essentially it will look like it will stutter and just go back to the beginning of the show.

If i hold down stepforward it will jump to the point but not to where i expect. So if i hold down stepforward until it says 9:00, when i let go it will jump to around the 8minute mark.

If i press the center select button. No matter where in the video i am. It will always say im at position 0

Anyone have any ideas? I thought it was my file, but it happens consistently. Also SPMC does not have the same issue on the same files

Did you get the context menu button to work with the Harmony remote? I've seen a couple of posts where people got everything working but the menu button. I kind of need that one. Smile

How do you delete a zip file not needed any more in sdcard? What would the adb command be? Below is the adb pushed file I'd like to delete.

C:\>adb push C:\XBMC\plugin.video.plexbmc-3.4.6beta2.zip /sdcard/


RE: Amazon Fire TV for XBMC - bluechris - 2014-05-18

Use ftv file manager to delete it

I am not seeing in the File Manager how to go about deleting this zip file from the sdcard.

Try "adb shell", then navigate to the directory " cd /"name of directory" ( cd /sdcard), then you can list folders/files with "ls -la", then to remove "rm <filename>". If it's a directory, "rm -r <directoryname>

Would it be possible for you to show how you would handle the adb push zip file below into easy steps for me to follow to delete from FTV. I am having a hard time understanding how the adb works.

C:\>adb push C:\XBMC\plugin.video.plexbmc-3.4.6beta2.zip /sdcard/

i was having a similar issue and disabling mediacodec and enabling libstagefright in the hardware accel settings fixed it.

Any update on the launcher submitted to Amazon?


RE: Amazon Fire TV for XBMC - phigment - 2014-05-19

Anybody have any luck at all with RCB on Gotham and FireTV?

It's my first try doing this and followed instructions that were verified with Ouya, but can't get it to work. I thought maybe you can't run it over NAS... But after changing the paths to local it still didn't work. Wouldnt launch the emulator from within RCB.

Any reason why this wouldn't work on Firetv? Can't find any documentation anywhere...
