Request: Change OK button behavior

[billxsand 1]

Hello all, My request is an option in the settings to change the behavior of the OK button.

Similar to SmartTubeNext, where you can change the button to Pause playback, Bring up UI, or BOTH

 

Thank you and I appreciate your hard work

Couldn't you do this with something like the Button Mapper app?  I've remapped several of my keys like the Netflix key now starts Emby

I have the exact same setup with button mapper going,  but BM wouldn't really help my situation

1. not sure how you would even go about doing that
2. it would affect all apps outside of emby
3. as warned in button mapper, "remapping certain buttons can make navigation difficult, if you get stuck attach a USB mouse to your android TV to undo the changes" and I don't want to do that lol

Thank you for the suggestion though

Been thinking of doing this for a while but keep reading that the app has problems with volumes buttons no longer being able to being able to be pushed down but you instead have to tap multiple times to raise/lower volume.

Is that still a problem?

I've never had issues with the volume button or any navigation issues at all.  There are two apps with very similar names, I use "Button Mapper" by flar2

It's a free and simple program which you could easily remove if you wished.  There are some features which require you to purchase, but I only use it to reprogram the Netflix button and that's free.

@Audiomixer just installed it a couple days ago and I believe it's working for him.

Installed it on three shields and its working fine. Easy to use too.

Thank you, will try that app. Having those useless buttons on the remote is quite annoying so being able to use them for something would be awesome!
