Does not appear to work with new 4k Fire TV (Dongle version)

[pstuart]

Looks like Amazon closed the ADB remote connection. I can't get this to control a new 4k fire tv plug in dongle (not the stick).

Any ideas?

Is ADB debugging turned on?

If it still doesn't work, I imagine Amazon changed the shell codes for the remote control.

Adb debugging is on. Was able to connect via my phone with a newer version of advice which pops up a prompt on fire TV to allow device access to adb or not. So it appears the version of adb included in this doesn't support authentication.

Can you give that a try? I haven't tested it, but I updated the adb binary and added untested support for Windows.

Thanks for the update, however that didn't fix it. Still doesn't pop up the authorization on the fire tv UI. With latest ADB from a windows shell, when I connect I get an authorize this device yes/no and then the normal shell commands work just fine.

To get this working on latest 4K Fire TV:

• Enable ADB debugging on Fire TV Stick
• Overwrite the adb executable using a newer version: 1.0.29 => 1.0.40

I wonder why "right" and "next" has the same value 22; "left" and "last" has the same value 21 thanks

I've added a note to the top of the README.md to redirect people to this issue in the future. I'm glad you were able to get it working with the 4K version @GastroGeek

Maybe this was a mistake on my part, but I feel like I remember them having the same codes in my testing. It kind of makes sense that right & next would be synonymous here.
