Not sure about that to be honest, the FLIRC guys would know better. I do know this is a new firmware feature so it's possible it doesn't work on older models.
When using the channel up and channel down buttons, is there a way to set this up so that the channels traversed are pulled from favorites and in the order as set by favorites? Currently it seems that the channels are from the All listing.
That's what the Quick Guide is for: to show your favorites in the order arranged while viewing live TV.
By default the Quick Guide shows all channels, but a quick change of settings will have it all set.
Perhaps my question was too vague. While I understand the Quick Guide, I am using the Channel Up and Channel Down buttons on my remote while watching live TV. When I channel up or channel down on the remote, the channel order is not according to my favorites. I would like for the channel up and channel down buttons on the remote to follow the order of my favorites. I'm not using the Quick Guide but I am using the channel up and channel down buttons.
Thanks for the feedback. I have been wondering what the behavior should be. Perhaps an option can be added, but I may just switch to favorites for now.
Some other bugs were reported where channel +/- doesn't work if you have overlapping channel numbers across combined tuners, so I will be working on improvements in this area.
@mike_here does this mean you were able to set up a FLIRC with channel up/down?
No, your post was clear; I understood exactly what you meant.
However, I find that having the CH +/- buttons cycle through all channels to be the expected behavior. If limiting the channels to just those in the Favorites list, then the Quick Guide can be employed. (The advantage to the Quick Guide is not only do you see what is on the channel, but also what program is next, and when that next program begins.)
If the CH +/- buttons are going to do something other than cycle through all the channels, then it ought to be a non-default setting.
@tmm1. Yes. I have flirc setup for channel up and down. It works great. I like this better than going back to the guide or using the pull down. It was the channel order that created the confusion. I was expecting the favorites order. That's all I've done with flirc at the moment.
If I enter the channel guide viewing all channels, HD or favorites and choose a channel to watch, the channel up or down should follow how I entered the guide. That's at least what I would expect. Here's one consequence of not doing that. I have favorites highly customized. For me choosing the first item in the guide to watch will put me at the end of the channel list after a few channel ups. Yet, from the guide perspective, I was at the "first" channel in the list. Perhaps allowing the user to set a flag for what listing to use (favorites, HD, All, etc.) would work and reduce complexities.
The latest beta/alpha have a setting to let you choose what filter to use for Channel Surfing

@tmm1 Do you have any other FLIRC mapping codes for the TiVo Stream 4K?
Namely, I'm missing the "Live TV" and "Info" buttons.
I've pieced together info from various sources, but if you were to have a comprehensive reference for Channels App remote codes / keyboard commands that would be amazing. Having done a good amount of searching on my own I know others are looking for this and it's frustratingly difficult to come across a reference that gives you everything you need on one spot.
TV: flirc_util record_api 2 89
Not sure about info, I will have to look that up. You could try these:
2 60
2 22a
2 1c0
2 19f
@tmm1 Thanks-- I've tried flirc_util record_api 2 89 for TV, though it is pulling up the Live Channels (built-in Android) app.
Using the TiVo Stream 4K remote, the "Live" button pulls up the Channels app with the last station tuned-in (which is what I want to replicate using FLIRC).
Any ideas?
Interesting. Maybe disable the Live Channels app?
@tmm1 I tried that, but nothing happens (no app is opened) in that scenario.
Whatever you're doing with the Channels Remapper is doing what it's supposed to do and successfully intercepting the command, but is only does so with the TiVo Stream remote. Do you think it has anything to do with the TiVo Stream remote being Bluetooth vs. FLIRC receiving a KEYCODE_TV remote code over IR? 
The TiVo remote doesn't use KEYCODE_TV, they invented some new code (5124) and hardwired it into their OS.
I could wire up KEYCODE_LAST_CHANNEL as a global live tv button, but you can't map that to flirc without a patched Android.
Can you try mapping FLIRC to send F1, then configure the app under General > Remote Shortcuts to use F1 for Live TV?
@tmm1 I don't see "General > Remote Shortcuts" in the App. I'm using Channels DVR 2.1.25 for Android TV, and I see the following within the App:
Settings
- Tuner
- Player
- DVR
- About
None of these make any reference to "General" or "Remote Shortcuts" that I can find.
Also, in Android TV Settings > Device Preferences > Accessibility > Channels Button Detector (currently "On"), there's an option that says "Configuration" but clicking that opens the Channels DVR app to the last screen it was on, but no settings appear.
Am I missing something?
OK, looking up the version number made me wonder whether I had the latest version. Sure enough, Channels DVR 2.1.26 was available on the Play Store. I ran the update, and while I still can't find a settings section for "General" > "Remote Shortcuts" in the updated app, I decided to try re-mapping the Live TV button to KEYCODE_TV and trying the process again.
Sure enough, it worked this time. Live Channels still fired up like before, but Channels DVR live view opened up right after. So then I was able to disable Live Channels and problem is solved.
The "Configuration" within Channels Button Detector still leads nowhere, but that's less of an issue given the Live TV button is intercepted by Channels, as was my original goal.
Thanks for your support @tmm1-- I am new to Channels, and the involvement and responsivity of your team (along with your thoughtful features/integrations) has really sold me on the product.

Sorry, the settings I was referring to are only in the new beta: BETA: Channels 3.0 for Android and Android TV
Thanks for clarifying. I'll opt in to the Channels 3.0 Beta for Android TV!
