(Windows or Linux) Is there any way to utilize an Amazon Fire Stick remote on Kodi? - CSC_ - 2024-04-18

So in Windows 10, 11, and Ubuntu, I can sync the Amazon Fire Stick remote (Model L5B83H) to the computer. It appears as "AR" in the Bluetooth menu. The problem is, no program takes input from it. I've tried a lot of things, and nothing recognizes it.

I know the "Just Enough OS" LibreELEC has support for it (although sadly it has many other issues with use, the x86-64 version is frustratingly hard to install), strangely enough, so it's... possible, but I don't know how they do it when no other OS seems to have any actual support for it?

Yeah I know I can get some remote on Amazon or something, but I'd like to actually use hardware that I have here and not shell out more money.

First two links don't help and I'm unsure what the third is but it seems to be using it in Fire OS? Or is that a launcher for CoreELEC to look like it?
