Home icon grey.png   ▶ Amazon Fire TV ▶ Alternative keymaps for Fire TV remote

Alternative keymaps for the Amazon Fire TV remote, as suggested by the community.

Note: These keymaps can also be applied using elmerohueso's "XBMC Tweaks for FTV" program addon, which is available from elmerohueso's XBMC repo.

Keymap 1

Changes from the default are shown in bold print.

Button Global action Virtual keyboard Fullscreen video action Amazon Fire TV remote.jpg
3 Directional pad:
  • Up
  • Down
  • Right
  • Left
 Directional pad:
  • Up
  • Down
  • Right
  • Left
 Directional pad:
  • Up: Volume amplification up
  • Down: Volume amplification down
    Note: This is a "poor man's" volume control since FireTV currently doesn't support normal software volume control. Volume-amplification uses compression to increase quiet sounds, but does not make the loudest sounds louder. This can sometimes cause undesirable distortion.
  • Right: +30 seconds
  • Left: -30 seconds
4 Select Select On-screen-display menu
6 Context menu Shift SmallStepBack (go back 7 seconds)

(also opens CodecInfo when the on-screen controls are visible)

7 Fast forward Move cursor right Fast forward
8 Play/pause Symbols Play/pause
9 Back Backspace Stop
10 Rewind Move cursor left Rewind
