Now your Harmony is programmed to send IR signals for all (or at least most) of it's buttons. Pick it and name it whatever you want, like 'Shield TV' :) A lot of us here us the ViewTV AT-163 profile. Just pick something that has a lot of buttons available (for flexibility) and won't interfere with any other devices you have. You only need to pick one device for your Shield profile, and (ironically enough) you don't want to pick 'Shield TV' WITH the Harmony since that profile is for models that have IR (or WiFi/BT if you have the Harmony hub) and you don't want that since you are using a FLIRC. Start with the Harmony config since this seems to be tripping you up. The basics of how it all works, just in case:

Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a different key/key combination in one of the preset controllers of the Flirc software I should pair with the Harmony 650 OK button so that it works correctly everywhere on the Shield TV, including the search keyboard? Thanks. I also tried pairing the Harmony 650 OK button with the Enter or Enter/Return key of every other preset controller in the Flirc software, but none of them work (they either dismiss the search keyboard entirely, or do nothing). The directional keys navigate the search keyboard fine, but I have to use the enter button on the original Shield TV remote to select the characters. When I press the button on the search keyboard, instead of selecting the character it's sitting on, it dismisses the keyboard entirely.

I paired the OK button on the remote with the Enter key on the full keyboard controller in the Flirc software, and it works correctly everywhere on the Shield TV save for one place. I describe another method in the above-linked HID Consumer Codes discussion.My Harmony 650 paired with the Flirc works almost perfectly with my Shield TV, except for one issue. Optional: In Button Mapper I have the same key open Assistant when long pressed, to invoke Google Assistant voice search no matter where I am: Actions | Assistant, then More Options | disable Alternate assistant. 1 Nothing happens in some apps (Example: Reelgood).

In the Android TV launcher, and non voice search-aware apps (Example: Prime Video), it activates the general Google Assistant voice search.

In voice search-aware apps (Example: YouTube), it searches within the app itself. KEYCODE_SEARCH behaves differently depending on context.

Keyboard/Button Mapper (on Play Store, but needs sideloading for Shield TV): Choose Action | Key Code | KEYCODE_SEARCH Two ways to convert this binding to KEYCODE_SEARCH on Shield:īutton Mapper (on Play Store): Advanced | Custom keycode (ver 2) | 84 The key itself isn't important choose one that is redundant (the left Windows key does the same thing as the right, and this way I can trigger voice search when using a real keyboard) or unused. Using flirc_util record_macro 128 0 I instead have Flirc trained to send the right Windows key, Android keycode META_RIGHT. Flirc can't send this natively as far as I know, whether through its standard keyboard mapping or the hidden HID Consumer Table codes. Remote: Android keycode 84, KEYCODE_SEARCH, triggers Shield's voice search. Be aware of how Shield prefers Nvidia microphones. It is available for $8 new at Amazon I bought mine for $2 used from GameStop. Mic: All Nvidia remotes and game controllers have microphones. The remote does not have a microphone, but it is still possible to use voice search. I've used the same universal IR remote for years, and continue to use it with my 2017 Nvidia Shield TV via Flirc.
