My problem is that longpress of select button doesnt bring up context menu (holding down seems to send pulses which keeps pressing select over and over again instead of a down signal). I've tried to remap different buttons on the remote using keymap addon but it doesn't recognise the button presses. Anyone encounter same problem or have any ideas?
Just seeing this post. Asked the same question a few months back. But... there is somewhat of a solution. At least, it depends on how you 'pair' your Shield to your Samsung TV.
I've had the Shield primarily connected to my Onkyo receiver. The receiver was connected to the TV. Once 'seen' by the Samsung (or manually adding it as a home cinema system), it would recognize the Onkyo and asked if there were any other devices where attached to this system. Off course I would acknowledge that and as result HDMI CEC would work for both devices.
Except long-presses. I could never bring up the
context menu. The only customizable button left on the smart remote was the play/pause button, except pressing it would bring up a little samsung overlay menu which is not configurable. But then after doing some redecorating in my house, I needed to quick test everything again, so connected the Shield
directly to the Samsung and manually went through the setup options on the TV. This time adding it as a NVIDIA -> Shield device. To my surprise the play/pause button now worked a 'normal' button and not show the overlay! Then I remapped some internal workings of the buttons and now a tap on this button will show the context menu when the appropriate screen is visible and pauses on full screen video. The Back buttons quits playing and the Select button shows the other controls. Will post the xml if needed.
The only drawback is I can't use DTS(X) anymore, but having a usable remote seems the better deal.
