Using the remote with any UI client for NextPVR can be the most important part of the user experience. While uidroid will work with just a DPAD and return key,I feel the more keys the better, since it reduces the reliance on long presses and can give more functionality. As an example music playback is not possible without the "Play" key. Be careful, if you touch the Home or dedicated keys like Netflix these will kick you out of NextPVR.
Here is the basic key board reference https://github.com/emveepee/Testing/wiki...dReference Basically the way this reference works is look at the standard remote reference column and if your remote has that key use it. If not check check the Roku or Android columns for additional capabilities
It is also important is to make this change in config.xml to get document skipping behaviour on DPAD Left and Right
<LeftRightBehaviour>Long Skip</LeftRightBehaviour>
The default number of seconds skipped (60/30) can also be configured in config.xml
New users to NextPVR based UI clients may not know the skipping mechanism but sub's has a great implementation where you can enter the number key for the the number of minutes to skip and the arrow key.
If you want more keys and can add USB RF dongle there are many in the $20 range on Amazon that work with no configuration or you can add a Bluetooth remote like the Sofabaton for full control (but you would need to configure it too.
Also to access the settings menu in Android it is long DPAD centre when video is not playing.
If you need help configuring a remote post here however if you need help with specific IR based remote make a separate post with you logcat logs hitting the keys that don't work.
