Android tv integration for Nvidia Shield button mapping

I got my Nvidia Shield added to R3. Only thing is that I cannot use the new volume slider for volume control, but most importantly, the “Menu” button does not work and does not open the “side bar” menu for settings etc. Any way to get this working without adding the remote as a bluetooth controller?

Additionally, I cannot control Kodi through the Android Tv integration. How do I get it to work properly?

In Kodi goto to AddOns, My add-ons, Peripheral libraries, disable Joystick support and restart Kodi now it should work.

It was found by Albaintor in discord already last year and came up again 2 weeks ago when I already had forgotten about that.

I disabled it and it works in Kodi now, thanks!

What about the question regarding the volume slider and the menu button? When I create an activity with Shield, I can program a button to go to the menu. But is it possible to program buttons within an existing entity?

Only in remote entities.
