Have a firetv rooted running latest 51.1.1.0 FW, managed to get two PS4 dualshock 4s paired via bluetooth, put the fixed up kl file in /sys/usr/keyboard (or whatever path it is) and 1 controller seems to be fine, but when I pair 2 controllers, the general firetv menus act up when using either control - sometimes the input doesn't register, and sometimes the dpad registers 6+ clicks. After awhile still, the input seems to just freeze up spontaneously or the firetv becomes non-responsive, not sure which. This affects all inputs including the remote. Afaik, one controller (and remote) paired doesn't seem to exhibit the problematic behavior.
Not sure if it's because of the updated firmware as I've seen others mention input lag, but I don't think it goes away - it seems to get worse. Strange still is that if i boot up retroarch immediately and pair both controllers then in-game action seems to be fine (all input seems to register) except there is a pretty bad lag - maybe up to 500-750ms?
Any ideas on what could be causing this? Not sure how far I should try to troubleshoot without screwing up the firetv by installing settings.apk from titanium backup to try to see if there's anything in there that might help. I assume that since the DS4s are basically seen as a firetv controller, that this issue should also affect them as well? I don't have any firetv controllers to try. In the end, it would be great to get 4 of these puppies paired but at the issue rate I'm seeing, I don't think dropping another $120 would be wise until this is identified.

I've been experiencing the unresponsive issue as well and have been trying to pin point the issue myself. Im able to pair 2 controllers no problem and the issue of slow down normally happens when i exit from an emulator or game app.
When the slowdown does occur I just turn the DS4 controllers off and after about 10 seconds all is fine again.
Hey guys,
I just pre-ordered an Amazon Fire TV here in Germany and I have a specific question for which I didn't find an answer yet. Everybody is saying that the AFTV has basic CEC functionality. I just wanted to know what this means in detail? Which keys are working and which are not? I heard that the arrow keys and the OK/select key are working. But what about the back, the home and the multimedia buttons (play/pause etc.)? I would be very glad if someone could answer this question (espacially with a Sony Bravia TV).
Thanks in advance. I'm looking forward for an answer.

I would like to know that too. I have a Samsung tv and the only cec function I can see fire tv performing is when I wake the device up from sleep it automatically shifts my tv from cable to fire tv screen and turns on the sound system if its off. But nothing on the TV remote works.

Damn. So for now its unusable via CEC, right? Without a back button it's not possible to exit menus... Could you try the media buttons too, please? I mean play/pause/stop. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure play/pause worked for me. But I just got a FLIRC. Much better and more flexible.
Not working for me. Panasonic TV.
with pi it works perfectly...
actually the TV DO recognize there's a hdmi CEC supported device but none of the buttons do something
Tested on Sanyo TV designed for use with roku.
Directions and media buttons work.
Back works (but brings up roku qr overlay)
the Exit button also functions as Back.
Hey,
My FireTV is connected to my Onkyo TX-NR626 amp and from there to my LG TV, I can control the FireTV with the remote of the Onkyo and everything is working, select, back, directions, play, pause, and skip
But you have to enter a code for a RIHD (CEC) enabled device on the remote, the code is 31612 if I'am not wrong
The only thing that is not working is you can't wake up the FireTV out of the standby

Sony Bravia Sync
Tested on an old KDL55-W4000!
Sony calls its CEC compatibility "Bravia Sync". With "Bravia Sync" activated, the following commands work via my TV's remote: Play, Stop, Back-Button, Forward, Rewind, Direction-Keys and Enter ...
With the Sony-Command "Sync Menu", the TV checks for connected devices at HDMI ports and even activates the FireTV from sleep-mode ... If the FireTV is activated, the same button "Sync Menu" opens the Options in FireTV (e.g. skipping to next episode or language selection)
Unfortunately, the only button not yet found by now via CEC, is the "HOME" button. By that button missing, you might get stucked, e. g. in the youtube app for FireTV, because the Back-Button does not go back to main menu of FireTV but stays in the YouTube-App and shows the Search-Site ...
If anyone has a Sony-TV, sending a "HOME"-command via CEC, please contact me, so I can properly set up my Harmony to send the command on my Sony-TV, too (sometimes, not all commands the tv is capable of, are buttons on the remote ... let's give it a try).
Hope, that has helped someone ... Please get back to me, if "Home" is available. Otherwise, I will not use YouTube-App
I don't know anything about CEC on other platforms. I just got a Fire TV two days ago.
I was very happily surprised when my TV's remote (Sony Bravia 47") worked on the Fire. My Girlfriend grabbed the TV remote as we were setting the fire up, and many of the commands were mapped to Sony remote buttons. Since I had cloned the remote to my Universal Remote URC20, it also works. I can create macros and treat the Fire TV like it has an IR remote. Very handy functionality.
All I have done is navigation, backward, forward, select, etc. Of course, you need the Fire remote for voice control.
Someone in another thread said that Samsung TVs didn't run commands back through HDMI. So, obviously ot depends on TV manufacturer.
On my LG TV, CEC is not working. In fact when Fire TV is connected CEC is not working for any device connected to the TV.
I had no problem with a rasberry PI used before I got the Fire TV.

I also have a Samsung, I found out that Play/Pause and FF/REW are the only one's that works. lol pretty disappointing.
Latest TV firmware UE55D8000/5 v2 (there are later firmwares on the web than ota updates for some odd reason).
Latest Preerooted firmware on aFTV.

Hmm. What year is the TV? My 2013 LG remote has no problem with the Fire TV.
Cec is a pita for me and my lg 55ub8500, it works fine if you have the TV on and then power the firetv on.. But if you have the firetv on and power on the TV.. It's a no go until you restart the ftv. Would be ok I'd the ftv would turn off but mine stays on like 24/7.
If your lg TV is new (2014) turn on simplink in the menus and setup your hdmi port to be a denon Avr(or any device that supports cec, not all do) and it should work

Same on my 2013 Sony TV, the remote's HOME button functions as Android's MENU button, whilst the remote's OPTIONS button does nothing. Shame, so close to being perfect. Still hoping the Fire TV will get a working root and that we can change the HDMI-CEC options that way.
I just bought a Noname 40" TV (Hisense LTDN40D36SEU) and was really surprised that it supports CEC quite well!
Nav, OK, Play, Pause, < Skip > and even Stop (! Not even on the Fire TV Remote itself) are working perfectly.
Just hoping to find a way to get Home and Context working. As theres a way to go to a Developer-Page on the TV, even with dumping firmware Option, im optimistic to get it fixed one day. Or, even better as Spence1115 said, hopefully Someday Root on the FireTV and a way to change it over here.
i had conflict on my samsung smart tv 2014 when connecting the AFTV it also played havoc with my receiver so i have decided to use a cec less adaptor and it worked a treat just in case anyone wanted to know and if they get conflicts (mine was connecting and disconnecting all my devices randomly)
Hi.
I just got a LG 42lb5600 and I can't even see the simplink option.
No buttons work on the fire.
Is there a firmware update or something I can do?
I hope that one day we will get the ability to program certain key presses through CEC on the Fire TV. Works great with sideloaded Kodi on my fireTV Stick but sadly no context or home functionality.
When I first got the stick I connected it to HDMI-1 on my Panasonic Plasma to do some testing, I later permanently moved it to one of the HDMI ports on my Pioneer receiver. The receiver connects to the TV via HDMI-2 where ARC is. The problem is that when I switch the receiver to the Fire TV input the TV automatically gets switched to HDMI-1 where nothing is connected, this also happens when FireTV gets out of sleep mode. I have to switch the TV back to HDMI-2. I am assuming that the FireTV is doing this via CEC. I have a Chromecast, Roku, SageTV and a PC connected to the receiver and none of them exhibit this behavior.
I rebooted multiple times but id does not help. I can disable CEC on the TV or Receiver but then I loose ARC so that is not an option. Any ideas on how to fix this?

There is a way to disable cec on rooted firetv’s but the easier way to fix this is to completely shut down the whole setup and hopefully the firetv will resync back to the correct input.

Unplugged everything and it seemed to be fixed but the next day it is back to switching my TV to HDMI 1 on its own.

Probably more of an issue with your tv .. possibly receiver. Is there a firmware update for your tv?
cec less adaptor
i had conflict on my Samsung tv with other cec devices and the best way around it i got a cec less adaptor for the hdmi cable plugged into the AFTV this stops the AFTV conflicting with your other devices as thats what it sounds like it is doing like mine was
only downside it will not auto channel switch when waking AFTV from sleep

Yes that would seem logical but the ARC is on HDMI2 so I would have to run an additional cable back to the Receiver. I switched to the FireTV Box and it works fine without interfering with my TV's HDMI inputs. The stick will go to the second TV in the house and if it has an issue there I will do a full reset.
Similar issue here with receiver (Denon X2000) switching to TV input (Samsung UN60F6350) in 1-2 seconds after I manually switch the input to Fire TV (box, not stick). This behavior developed over past 1-2 weeks or so, before I've been using Fire TV with no issues.
After setting HDMI control to "OFF" in receiver's Video settings it stopped switching, so my theory is that somehow my "smart" TV sends activation signal to the receiver and makes it switch. This is similar to any HDMI device starting to play, except in this case looks like TV keeps sending that signal constantly.
A quick fix, but annoying, is to just unplug the HDMI cable from the Fire TV box or Fire stick. I have had these devices for a long time and never had a problem until a few months ago. It is annoying! Every (about 30 minutes...almost like it was on a timer of sorts) time I am watching my DirecTV cable box HDMI input, it will just switch to the HDMI input that the Fire TV box (or Fire TV stick) is on. SO it has to be something that the Amazon box is sending out through the HDMI cable to the TV that causes the HDMI input to change. AMAZON needs to send out an update that eliminates that problem because it HAS TO BE in their software coding. As BIG of a problem as this is, you would think that they would have fixed this already. There are many other streaming boxes out there now that are much better, cheaper, and do not have issues like this. They stand to lose a ton of future dollars if they don't fix this problem. I have invested in 6 boxes for the 6 TV's in my home. They need to do something about this!!
I was wondering if anyone had problems with their Bluetooth mice (the kind with a USB dongle) on the Amazon Fire TV My friend says she can not use her mouse on the fire TV after the new update mine however works fine. She said something about it days ago and said she looking it up on Amazons site. I Obviously came hear and searched the forums but I found nothing. I had her send me a screen shot to make sure she didn't have USB debugging on too but she doesn't so I have no clue Just reaching out to see if any of you had similar issue with a bluetooth mouse . She is driving me nuts lol

Not the last update, but the one before that, the mouse stopped being visible on the default Fire TV launcher and on system menus. I guess Amazon does not think we should use a mouse cursor on their system. The mouse still works, you just cannot see it on the launcher or on system menus. Example, if you open ES File Explore you can see the cursor, but if you were to install an apk from inside ES File Explorer, the cursor would become invisible when the system install menu pops up, and would only become visible again after the install menus were off the screen. The mouse is visble inside all third party apps, but its invisble inside all Amazon made apps. I have tried with USB mice and bluetooth mice and they all are invisible on the system, but visible inside apps. Wukong Remote has a different cursor, but it is visible on the whole system. Its just hardware mice (ie USB and bluetooth) that are no longer visible. I actually made a thread about this a month or sso ago, but not many people responded, cause I am guessing most people use their android devices for a cursor so they don't realize USB and bluetooth mice are not visible.
Is this possible? Seems it was previously but I have had no luck so far. Its a Bluetooth controller and should in theory, have no problems, yet its not.
Could this be something resolved in Marshmallow? Or is it a non starter altogether?
Just want some multiplayer action, have a shield controller already and had a fire TV 4k with pad as well.
Thanks in advance
Well that was easy. Turns out the fire controller 2 is WiFi and not Bluetooth. It connects like a charm as a Shield accessory and plays games as it should.
So if anyone, like me reads this and has been struggling like a fool (that was me the past hour) to connect it, its WIFI not Bluetooth. Connect this and a FireTV 2 remote as a shield accessory and away you go.
Edit - voice search also works, which I had seen people stating you most it, or couldn't pair the AFTV voice remote with the Shield TV because of it. Just press and hold and works as it does on the fire box.

Thats actually pretty dope to learn! i havent played with a fire tv controller 2 yet but just seeing the images online it looks like a high quality, sturdy controller. Would be interesting to see how well it performs, and the fact that it works natively with the shield is even more interesting and better. wonder if nvidia just updated the firmware to allow it to work or if they just so happen to use the same protocols?
couple of questions: is the button layout the same? does headphone jack work as well?

The headphone jack doesn't work. Just tried with Borderlands and it works, though with some lag on the Shield controller but not the Fire 2 controller.
Every other button functions perfectly though, including clicking in the anologues. As a second player pad, and with the useful voice search function, its pretty cool that I got it connected. Could not find any help online at all.

Thats awesome man. Thanks for the heads up! Would love to see anyone else chime in to confirm before i consider the plunge on a controller, but its always nice to have another type of gamepad available. Wonder if latency is the same, but I assume since its wifi, it shoudl be at least as good as the shield controller.
Do you know if this works with a pc as well? (via usb of course)

Won't work on PC, not with USB anyway as its not there lol. Surprised me too.
Latency seems on par with stock controller. Been playing Fifa 16 UT for a while and won every game, so no issues with the pad.
I too would like others to test this as I couldn't get any help online and cane across it by chance.
has anyone tried the new apple r emoe does it work?
how do you past the settings menu on the fifq 16 android on the shiled. do you need mouse input?
My problem is that once it connects I lose all audio.
The headphone Jack not working is a real bummer too.
Fifa 16 UT does this game even work? i cant get past main menu

I managed to connect the Fire TV game controller on StockRestyle Marshmallow, but I cannot get the Fire TV 4K remote to work.
Which version of the Shield TV firmware are you using?
Do you need to press a specific button on the Fire TV remote? I tried Home and the OK buttons (I indeed tried all of them), removing the batteries without any success.
EDIT: I tried a second Fire TV 4K, first try: press Home -> success Thanks

If that would be working, including the voice search function, that would be great because shield game controllers aren't working wireless on full Android.

I'm having major problems connecting my Amazon Controller 2 to my Shield K1 Tablet.
I go to the app and open it up. The 3 or 4 lights flash on the controller and then solidify. At which point the mouse cursor appears and I can move it around and - if I press home, the app closes.
But at that stage the controller starts searching again, the lights flash.
I've tried holding down the home button, I've tried putting the batteries in only once the apps open. No luck.
The controller works beautfully with my amazon fire tv box.
Anyone want to give me step by step instructions?
