You can't control the fire TV 'stick' by IR as it only support bluetooth remote.

If you purchase the fire TV 'box' instead of the stick, you can plug in a USB IR receiver and it can then be controlled (either by PUC, or directly by the beo6).

Kind regards,

Martin.

Thanks for the reply

Wasn't sure if some way using a flirc device and a y adapter cable you could get it to work.

Then use a puc ir bud on the flirc device

Only need some basic commands to control a bit like Apple TV

Can someone give some thought to my idea ?

I have ordered a y USB cable and a flirc so will try

Where does one get the USB IR receiver?

B

This was the device I was thinking

As Martin already said, you can`t control your stick with the Flirc, because there is no USB socket. You`ll need the fire tv.

When connected to the Flirc USB-IR receiver, you can control fire tv via PUC from your Beovision, using a BL1000, Beo4,5,6, and even from linkrooms.

You can order Flirc directly :https://flirc.tv/more/flirc-usb

Thanks Stefan

So I can move the stick to another room and buy the fire TV box no problem

You can programme the flirc to accept commands no problem

My TV beovision 4 with a beosystem 3 has no puc code for fire TV

I have a beo 6 that will control it but again fire TV not in the codes

What's the best way - use another file and modify ?

Help would be appreciated

Richard

Hope someone can help

Does anyone know which puc to use on a beo6 used to control a flirc connected to a fire TV box

Hi

Is there anybody using a beo6 to control an Amazon Fire TV box with a FLIRC USB controller plugged into it

Any help appreciated

Richard

Quite simple.

you need a Beovision with puc, puc ir cable, Beo6, config. tool with the puc included you want to use (or build your own Beo6 puc).

a fire tv, laptop with flirc program.

- select an av socket to connect your fire tv

- select a puc

- connect the ir cable to the correspondind ir socket and fasten ir transmitter on the flirc

- progeam the flirc as described in the flirc program with help of your Beo6 and the puc.

- plug the flirc into the fire tv usb socket.

- fasten ir transmitter on the flirc

- select the video source you have choosen for the av socket connected to the fire tv.

- control your fire tv withe Beo4/5/6, even from linkrooms (you will need an additional HDMI - composite converter to get audio/video on your link tvs.

- have fun.
