Hi,
i just bought a Intel NUC i3 and i`m not able to use the FireTV remote with my xbmc.
I installed Windows prof 64bit and i can conntect the remote in the bluetooth settings, but i can´t control anything with it. Nothing happens when i push the buttons.
The remote is working fine under OpenELEC!!
Do i need a configuration tool or somethin like this in windows?

The Fire TV remote should be seen as a bluetooth keyboard and not require any special settings or configuration for the most part. If you pair it to your Windows NUC, are you able to see any input at all? The directional keys should work in other apps just like the arrow keys on a keyboard.

In that case it sounds like an issue on the OS level. XBMC simply sees whatever keyboard you have attached, but it's up to Windows to handle the basic connection.

Why would you want to do that though? Will the voice part work on Windows with Kodi?
Also I like it but lack of volume control on the remote is a big bummer.

I don't know why, but the FireTV remote (I have the simple one without microphone) doesn't work with Windows. It works perfectly with Linux.
