Hello, wanted to leave some feedback with my use of firemote. Tested on 25 OCT 2022 using v1.5.0

I’ll try to see what changes after I update to v1.7.0. Sorry this took so long.

Android Remote Testing:

  • Toshiba Fire TV - Model 32V35KU:
  1. Fire Device Type: Fire TV (4 Series)
  2. Compatibility Modes Working: Default, Strong, event0, event4
  3. Fastest Response Mode: Default
  4. Shortcuts Tested & Working: Plex, Tennis, YT, Prime, HBO Max, Netflix, Hulu
  • Fire TV Cube 2nd Gen (2020):
  1. Fire Device Type: Fire TV Cube (2nd Gen)
  2. Compatibility Modes Working: Event1 [No Power Button, No Center Button], Strong [No Volume Control]
  3. Fastest Response Mode: Event1
  4. Shortcuts Tested & Working: Plex, Tennis, YT, HBO Max, Netflix, Hulu
  5. Comments: Default mode can work, but only after I’ve used the physical remote. I assume this is due to some auth command or something similar. Not sure why the Prime shortcut doesn’t work here, but I’ve never gotten it to work with this particular device manually either. For that reason, I’m not sure if any other incompatibilities are due to this either. In Strong mode, the power button seems to send a discrete On command only, no Off.
  • Verizon Stream TV v2 (I don’t know if it’s the Askey or Arris version nor if that matters):
  1. Fire Device Type: Fire TV Stick 4K Max
  2. Compatibility Modes Working: Strong
  3. Fastest Response Mode:
  4. Shortcuts Tested & Working: HBO Max, Netflix, Disney+
  5. Comments: Default mode can control power both on and off, but not d-pad, so I didn’t test further. Strong mode powers on, but not off.
  • Five TV Cube 2nd Gen (2022):
  1. Fire Device Type: Fire TV Cube (2nd Gen)
  2. Compatibility Modes Working: Event1 [No Center Button], Strong [No Volume Control]
  3. Fastest Response Mode: Event1
  4. Shortcuts Tested & Working: Plex, Tennis, HBO Max, Disney+, Hulu, YT, Netflix
  5. Comments: Couldn’t get power on/off to work with any remotes for this device.
  • Five TV Stick 4K (2020):
  1. Fire Device Type: Fire TV Stick 4K Max
  2. Compatibility Modes Working: Strong
  3. Fastest Response Mode: N/A
  4. Shortcuts Tested & Working: Plex, Netflix, Tennis, YT
  5. Comments: This is attached to an old TV with no HDMI-CEC support, therefore volume and power weren’t expected to work.
