Button Mapper help

I have a Bravia7ii remote which will also control my Nvidia Shield Pro. I have Button Mapper installed on my Shield and successfully changed the behaviour of the Netflix button on my Shield remote.

I would like to change the 6 app buttons on my Bravia remote to start apps on my Shield. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Bravia remote natively controlled the Shield so it would be handy if I could reassign the app buttons.

When I press an app button, eg Crunchyroll, it tells me the app is not installed. If I install BM on my Bravia Google TV and enable Bypass system UI, I can remap the button to start an app in Google TV. If I do the same on my Shield, I still get the app not installed message.

My Bravia remote seems happy enough controlling my Shield. Is there a way I can get Button Mapper on the Shield to amend the response to app buttons on my Bravia remote?

(So, just to be clear, I’m trying to do this on my Shield. This post was removed on r/AndroidTV by MODS who saw the words Google TV and said it should be posted in that sub)

For you to reprogram you’re Bravia remote you would need button mapper installed onto your TV & Not your Nvidia shield. Even if you were able to reprogram your TV remote, it still ain’t gonna work with the Nvidia shield because when you reprogram those buttons, it’s going to reprogram it for the TV and not the Nvidia shield.
