I have the AFTV2. The remote doesn’t have a stop button, something that is really needed in Kodi.
There’s a FTV addon for Kodi which allows remaps of the keys, and can set the Back button for Stop, but only for full screen video, not for music. My MCE remote works in Koodi 100% , was just thinking on getting an OSMC remote due to it’s better form factor (I don’t need all the extra buttons on the MCE), plus to give support to OSMC.
My expectation is that the remote will work fine, with the exception of the context menu and info button on an Android device.
We can likely help you edit the keymap to fix those two buttons. Stop will certainly work out of the box.
Thanks – this is very much appreciated

Go ahead and grab one if you want to. I just connected my OSMC remote to my AFTV1 running 5.0.5.1 and it works great. Stop button stops playing music just as one would expect. Just make sure USB debugging is turned off in FireTV developer settings.
Yep, ordered on Friday from Adafruit, it showed up today - dang fast service. I didn’t turn anything off, just plugged it in and away I went. Working great controlling both Kodi & AFTV2. The Home button doesn’t work in FTV, but no biggie.
What difference would turning off debugging offer? Thanks again for this great remote!
Great!
I think usb debugging can sometimes interfere with attached devices. If it doesn’t, no problem.
With the some debugging we can probably get the Home button doing something useful, but it may be better to start a new thread for that

Well, it wouldn’t work at all if USB debugging was on. Don’t ask me how I know 
HAH! Yes, I checked mine yesterday & USB debug was already off. So the AFTV2 + OSMC remote = bliss.

I’ve recently bought an OSMC remote to use as a general remote (not with OSMC). It’s a great remote, nice build quality and I like the tactile clicks.
It mostly works with non-OSMC apps, but I can’t detect any codes for four buttons: info, context menu, rew and ff. The other buttons all work as normal. Is this to be expected - are they proprietary features for OSMC? Or could the remote be faulty?
Thanks
The remote isn’t likely to be faulty, plugging it in to an OSMC system will confirm this.
What system are you trying to get it on? The receiver is a USB Composite Device
Hi, thanks for getting back to me. You are right of course, the remote is fine. The FF/REW keys are not being detected in Windows. Plugging it into a Raspberry Pi it works as expected.
Forgive my ignorance. I have had a good look around and cannot find the details i need to remap the arrow keys for volume control on my otherwise awesome remote.
Specifically, where to find the file (mentioned above) to be edited?
Thanks in advance
Hi – I think we spoke via eBay.
