Fire TV Beta - PIP

[grego892]

I LOVE the pip feature on the Fire TV beta. It's nice to keep video going while I scan for another channel/recording. A couple of things I seem to get stuck in though.

• If the system asks a question, it's in the pip not the main screen. Can't seem to make a choice. Could that be switched to the main screen?
• So then I exit out of the Channels to the Fire TV main screen and the pip is still going.

Is there currently a button or API that would kill the pip? I haven't found it yet.

Keep up the good work. Enjoying it.

You could remap one of the buttons to do that.

PIP Shield Remote using Button Mapper

This maybe the wrong place to post but I can’t seem to find a manual for Button Mapper. I got rid of the Pesky Netflix button on my Shield by using Button Mapper but now I’m trying to figure out if I can program a key with the letter P key so I can use PIP in Channels. I would love to use the microphone button as I never use it but I would settle for a different key if that is not possible. Any help? Thanks in advance. Sheldon

Sure, but what command would I map the button too?

Make one of them the PiP button, to toggle in and out of it with a single / double / long press, whatever you want. I forgot what worthless buttons exist on a firestick remote, think it's a netflix button.

And yes, upon further thought, I have seen a prompt come up in the pip window. Toggling the pip to full screen with the netflix button allows to still pick something.
