have a fire stick gen 1 missing the original remote i have on a rarely used tv. Also have a USB OTG Y cable, a lenovo ir receiver, and a lenovo mce/rc6 remote. Hooked it all up, the IR receiver lights up when it seems remote button pushes, but nothing happens on the fire stick. Is there a way to make this work? Maybe a helper app to convert IR to keyboard presses? Im trying to pay close to $0 if possible. If im going to invest any money, a newer fire stick (with remote) isnt too spendy so it doesnt make too much sense to spend too much on a FLIRC or new remote.
If the MCE remote route wont work I also have a Fire Cube remote and Nvidia Shield TV remote sitting around too, but neither will pair to the Fire Stick.
HDMI-CEC works but there are no menu and home buttons, so its not super useful.
Fire App on my phone works, but I HATE using my phone as a remote. Its so clunky.
