[QUOTE="bartmanson, post: 1210936, member: 10748"] Ok, it took some time but here are the things I found out: - The Fire TV Remote app only simulates the "real" remote, which means that an app that does not react to the remote does also not react to the remote app -> skipping and pausing with internal player is not possible. - MX Player works pretty well on fire tv (even with HW+ decoding) AND reacts to key presses on the fire remote. Pausing works but skipping forward and back does not work. Tried it with several transcoding profiles and all streams refused to skip :-( That leads to two questions: - Can you, [USER=15874]@regeszter[/USER], add support for key presses to the internal player? The respective events are described here: [URL='https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/devices/fire-tv/docs/amazon-fire-tv-remote-input']Remote Input - Amazon Apps & Services Developer Portal[/URL] (don't know if they are the same for all android flavours or if they are specific to fire tv). - Do you know why skipping doesn't work? Even in internal player with tapping and swiping on my tablet it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't work. That means, it seems not to be related to fire tv.
