This post concerns an update of a previous post. This guide can also be used with any other infrared remote.

In this post the Logitech Harmony and Flirc are configured in such a way that they will work with both Android TV and Kodi. In addition, the Harmony device configuration does not power the Android TV device on and off when needed. Unfortunately, the keyboard keys used do not match with other Android applications, which prevents a single Logitech Harmony activity from controlling Android TV adequately. The profile uses Kodi’s keyboard controls. In Flirc’s firmware is a built in Kodi profile that can be used with a Logitech Harmony remote immediately. Flirc receives infrared commands and converts them to keypresses by emulating human interface devices, such as keyboards and game controllers. As the latest revision of the Shield TV (‘16GB, 2017’) lacks an infrared receiver, a Flirc USB was included. The lucky recipient of the gift uses a Logitech Harmony universal infrared remote control.
The Shield TV is an Android TV device, which in this case would mostly be used for playing media through Kodi and Netflix. Last Christmas I gifted an Nvidia Shield TV. Thanks for the info guys.This is a short post about controlling Android TV using a Logitech Harmony infrared remote control and a Flirc USB. I confirmed that on the NVIDIA forum and jumped right in. What allowed me to give the Shield another try was reading that the Hotfix firmware successfully addressed the issues that were important to me but the tipping point was reading in this forum that the "no back out" Hotfix policy is a major certified firmware release only stipulation (e.g. They certainly have their share and their still ongoing. When the 2019 Shields were announced I sat on the sidelines as I wanted to see how many bugs the new units had.

I ended up returning the unit as the upgrade from the Roku Ultra didn't justify the purchase price. In the summer, before my recent ATMOS AVR/speaker upgrades, I purchased a 2017 Shield but the remote frequently disconnected and a few services were having issues. The Roku was not bad but I'm consistently noticing an improvement. In general the Shields picture quality is better.The speed of playback has taken me by surprise as it seems almost instant compared to a 2017 Roku Ultra.I thought I'd constantly need to see frame rate changes and use various remote toggles to initiate the feature. It is working well with all my streaming apps. The AI implementation is far less intrusive than a 30Hz limit would indicate.The AI up-scaling, even at a medium setting, is better than the gimmick I had expected.Having ATMOS on all my streaming services simplifies life (as Roku didn't support ATMOS on Netflix).HDR brightness was boosted on the UHD65 enough so that I don't force streaming services to 4K only.After switching to the NV (2019) tube and applying the latest hotfix:
I had to jump through some annoying hoops to force my streaming services to 4K only because of that HDR darkness distracting too much from my viewing pleasure. Sure YouTube HDR demos looked great but in general Netflix and Prime HDR was simply too dark. Previous to the Shield I was dissatisfied with the brightness level of HDR content with the projector. Win10 HTPC (GTX1660), Shield, Harmony Hub and 4K STB.Optoma UHD65 (HDR10 4K capable), screen 110", self calibrated using HCFR and a ColorMunki Display colorometer.AVR: Onkyo TX RZ840 (5.1.2 ATMOS configuration).This past weekend I upgraded from a Roku Ultra (2017) to a NVIDIA Shield (2019) tube and am very happy with the improvements.
