Running KODI on Fire OS (android fork). Remote has no stop button. - blueribb - 2024-12-04
I successfully installed Kodi 21.1 on my Fire TV Cube. It runs a fork of Android called FireOS. Everything works fine but there is no STOP button on the Cube's Remote Control. I can pause movies, videos and music but not stop them. Pressing the back button allows me to navigate but the file is still in pause.
I can't seem to find a remote control with a STOP button that will work with KODI and my Fire TV Cube.
Any recommendations?

use the keymap editor addon to map the Back button to Stop in fullscreen video - https://kodi.tv/addons/omega/script.keymap/

I wonder if I could remap one of the 4 special keys that I never use (prime, netflix, disney, hulu)

no, you're only changing what button performs Stop during fullscreen video, you're not changing any instances of Back so those will still function the same

also no, these button presses are never sent to kodi, only the OS handles them

Doesn't OSD work?

Bring up the OSD, press Stop, mission accomplished.

If I press the "back" button until I reach the home screen, I can then see the OSD controls for both music and videos but that takes multiple button presses just to stop a video or song.
I use the Confluence Skin

With almost all my devices Ok or center button brings up OSD.

It works with LibreELEC and WeChip remote, Sony tv remote and OSMC remote.
It works on android and Shield remote.
It works with MCE remote on Win 11 & Win 10.

I just tried your suggestion, and it does bring up the player's OSD controls for videos but not for music. I can't stop a song unless I navigate back to the home screen.

With android and music i have to press Left to get a Stop button.
Same with LibreELEC, Left brings up a Stop button.

mapping the back button to operate as a Stop button is still the best use on this remote due to it's limited usable buttons
correction on my first post:
despite my previous post stating fullscreenvideo, this should be done in whichever section is for music
i don't use kodi for music so i didn't think about it
