drmark12pa Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I now have 2 Sony TVs: XBR-55X850D and also XR-55A80J. I've noticed that when I use the Kodi app on the 3 year old 55X850D and hit any of my C4 remote colored buttons (red, green, yellow, or blue) that I use for other programming such as toggling the room light, Kodi is acting like these buttons are part of Kodi but I have no way of altering this anywhere in Control4, Sony TV menu, or Kodi menu. This makes it problematic when I'm watching a show on Kodi and hit these buttons which causes the show to keep playing while Kodi goes back to menu but I don't have anyway of clearing the onscreen menu that is blocking the content currently playing. On any other app on this TV, the colored buttons don't do anything. On my new XR-55A80J these buttons don't do anything in Kodi or any other app on the TV which is what I want. I only want these buttons to control the C4 programming I have programmed to them for the room. Any ideas how to disable the colored buttons on my C4 remote from messing with Kodi control?

RAV Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 What KODI driver? Mini app for Sony? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drmark12pa Posted December 14, 2021 Author Share Posted December 14, 2021 No on this TV I was using just the Sony driver for that specific tv that was hav 6 hours ago, RAV said: What KODI driver? Mini app for Sony? No I was using the Sony TV app for that specific TV that is having the issue. The Sony TV that is not having the issue is a different Sony TV driver. I do have the mini app driver installed however but that usually is controlling my Nvidia Shield box apps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAV Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 You might try the B or C driver and see if either of those has no color button programming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drmark12pa Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 I've attached a screenshot of the current driver I'm using. It actually just updated but same issue anytime I hit GREEN button it keeps playing video but goes to menu screen so menu text obscures what you are watching and no easy way of clearing screen of menus.

RAV Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I was recommending using an older driver, Sony TVs use letters to denote the years. So previous years, C or older B, may not have the color buttons programmed in the driver. And Sony hasn't changed protocols so should still work.
