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.
- Save the keymap you want to use as a plain text file as "keymap.xml" (it can be anything as long as it ends in .xml) on the file share.
- Go to the File Manager in Kodi. For the default skin, Confluence, highlight the "System" tab and then select the submenu "File manager" option.
- Add the file share as a source in the "A" window, then navigate to where the keymap file is.
- In the "B" window go do the Profile directory which will be the userdata folder, then open the keymaps folder.
- Highlight the keymap file from the "A" window, then press menu, and then select copy. This will copy the selected keymap to the Fire TV's userdata folder.
- Now just restart Kodi to load the new 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 Kodi if opened
