Programming harmony remote App shortcuts on Sony Android TV

by brenster23

Hello, so I was hoping that someone might be able to help with my current problem. I am attempting to program my Logictech Harmony Remote to have shortcuts to open up different android Apps on the TV.

Now so far all of the information I have seen regarding this sort of setup pertains to using the Nvidia Shield and programming the shield's function keys to act as shortcuts using Button Mapper, then setting the function keys on the harmony remote.

Now I have managed to program the function keys into the TV by using a wired keyboard to set the keys, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the harmony remote to send those commands.

(yes I do know that I could probably use the numpad as the keys, but that could break other things on the remote, hence my reluctance to do so. )

Add your Sony TV device AS Nvidia Shield TV on your harmony app, and re-pair the bluetooth.
