I think I am not stating things right. If all you want is to run XBMC then you can get it all to work with FLIRC. But, if you want the ir remote to work for other apps on the Fire TV it is not as simple. XBMC has keyboard equivalents for everything so of course FLIRC or MCE will work. I realize this is an XBMC forum but anyone buying a Fire TV will surely want it for other things.

I don't plan to use the Fire TV remote, but I'm basing my controls off the Fire TV remote and adjusting the XBMC mappings as needed. Only a couple of changes to the XBMC mappings should be needed in my situation with a Harmony One. I want Esc (which works as back for the Fire TV) to be the back key instead of Backspace, and the media keys seem to work in both XBMC and the other Fire TV apps (tested in Netflix and Pandora so far). I also plan to change the context menu button in XBMC to the menu key. The Fire TV is sending the media keys for play/pause, fast-forward, and rewind, and XBMC is recognizing the media keys (it wasn't at first on the Fire TV).

With just a couple of changes to XBMC's mappings, I should have a viable solution for controlling all Fire TV apps (I'm not done making my changes just yet).

When you have everything working well with the harmony please add your configuration to the wiki! If not please post it here and I will add it. Thanks!

I've added my initial findings to the Flirc and the keyboard sections of the wiki already, but I will add more when I'm done.
