Any suggestions on a universal remote that will control my Fire TV stick and the MCE IR receiver I have that is using eventghost to control Media player Classic on my computer?
Being able to control the Toshiba Smart TV too would be a bonus.

Hello every one.
Does any one know how this works !
I have a Sony Bravia KDL 24EX320 TV, and the fire tv box,
I allso have a number of other boxies to controll,
so I have a "OneForAll 7960" remote controll witch is surpossed to be just a "IR" remote,
But I have found that I can controll my Fire tv box with it, I can move though the menues and seclect things with it.
I just though I would let people know about this incase it could be helpfull to some one.
Are you doing this when TV is selected?
If so, it is controlling through HDMI CEC.
I did that with my Sharp tv, but it does not work with my Panasonic.
Yep, it's gotta be hdmi cec. Fire TV doesn't have a ir receiver built in.

I think it only works for Sony tvs. I have the 55W829 and i can use the tv remote for my Amazon fire tv as well. Also works when Kodi is enabled.
Since the Fire TV stick has no usable USB port to speak of, we can't just plug in an IR dongle.
Some people have had success using HDMI-CEC and their TV remote control. However, my Olevia 232 TV doesn't seem to support the CEC protocol.
Has anyone had any luck using a PS3 remote? Has anyone tried using a Harmony PS3 adapter, or IR2BT bridge?
My thoughts were to build an Arduino device using BT shield setup to use the keyboard profile or Joystick profile; and couple that with an IR receiver.
I have successfully side loaded the settings.apk. I am able to pair a BT PC keyboard. I have seen reports that even some Samsung TV's don't support CEC protocol. So even if officially none of this works, I might be able to Pair one of the devices mentioned above with settings.apk.
Well, I had to side-load the settings.apk. In doing so, I could pair a bt keyboard and a bt media remote control by Satechi. Unfortunately, only PLAY/Pause and the home key do anything. But it's a star. The Forward and back buttons don't seem to work. However, I wonder, if they sent ff and rewind commands; if it would respond.
This gave me the idea to pair the Fire tv remote to my phone.
I was able to pair the Fire TV stick remote to my phone, and tested all of the key buttons .

I wonder if I rename a device to `Amazon Fire TV Remote` if it will accecpt paring in the normal Fire TV settings menu.
Hi,
can I use the Fire TV Stick as a bluetooth receiver for my AV Receiver?
Perhaps with an automatically launched app.

Hi,
Is it possible to use an Application or something, that could utilise Bluetooth hardware of a smartphone and enable it to function as Fire Tv / Fire tv stick Remote.
I came upon various apps on playstore that acts as remote, if both fire tv / fire tv stick are connected to same wifi network but couldn't locate any app that converts one's smartphone to Bluetooth remote.
Isn't it Possible??
Can i turn my oneplus 7t into tv remote control? If yes how to do it?
Remote as in how? IR blaster?
You need to buy an external USB C one.
Or you can do it through WiFi.... If you have a smart tv... Well if your tv supports it. For instance I have a Vizio TV. They have a remote control app on the play store.. Just connect the TV and the phone to your WiFi and boom.. works like a charm. Even gives you more options than the remote that comes with the TV.
