Amazon Fire TV | Alternative keymaps for Fire TV remote |
Alternative keymaps for the Amazon Fire TV remote, as suggested by the community.
Installing keymaps
There's a few methods to load custom keymaps on the Fire TV.
File Manager
Kodi's built in file manager can be used to copy files from a network file share (such as SMB/Windows sharing) to the userdata folder. Simply add the file share as a source in one of the two windows, and in the other window go do the "profile directory" which will be the userdata folder, then the keymaps folder. Select the keymap from the first window, press menu, and then select copy. Then restart Kodi to load the keymap.
ADBFire
- Copy key map and paste in a text editor (such as NotePad), then save as "Keyboard.xml"
- Download ADBFire from http://jocala.com/adbfire.html
- Once installed use Push/Pull/Delete drop down menu select Keymap and click Push. Navigate to your xml file you created earlier and that's it. Be sure to restart XBMC if opened
