RC_EMBY 0 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I have a NVIDIA Shield box and am struggling with finding a cheap/good remote to use that can control Emby correctly. I currently use this http://amzn.com/B00K768DHY but it does not work well with volume, or going back. Anyone have any suggestions? Would prefer IR capabilities so I can control my TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14959 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 The Shield now works with HDMI-CEC so you should be able to make it work with any modern TV and that TV's remote. It's real remote is BT, not IR. I recommend the Harmony remotes for a universal but, even in that case, you will probably be going through CEC to control the Shield.

jasonmcroy 315 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 The Shield's native remote is BT, but it does have an IR receiver built in to the front of it and works extremely well with my Harmony 650 remote. This remote works just as well with my Xbox One and with my HTPC running a Flirc dongle. Great remote for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foghat 65 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) I use the Roomie (now called Simple Control) app on my iphone. But until the Shield integrates IP commands, I need to use an IR receiver/blaster to control it. Edited May 30, 2016 by foghat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidman 589 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) It does already as there are official android TV remotes for iOS and android but they use proprietary authentication/pairing that has not yet been opened up for use by other apps afaik Edited May 30, 2016 by Vidman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
