Flirc and Shield TV
I don't own a Flirc, but I was wondering, is it possible to map my Logitech 650's Dpad to act like a mouse using this device with my Shield TV? I know there's a rooted app which allows this, but I'm not interested.

channels don’t match up
In kodi the channels do not match up with what the HD setup shows. It's like it fills in the blank channels. I also get jacked up closed captions.

Hi there
I’m watching Game of Thrones and everything is fine apart from when they speak in another language the subtitles don’t come up. I followed the instructions of installing Subscene and have installed and added it successfully to the language part in settings.
However when I tried to download the subtitles and match with the same speed link type file like 720p or HD type file it does not Sync correctly and it is all audio subtitles that are displayed not just the different language parts as I said it doesn’t sync at the same speed when playing.
I’ve tried to link up the same subtitle download speed as the file speed episode type file I’m watching and it still doesn’t sync up correctly.
I’ve tried read up on how to change the subtitle language to only display a non-language type but I can’t find that option on my language settings on my kodi box.
I don’t much about files names/codes tbh, when I go to watch an episode I choose a link I think might work or choose one that is title HD high quality named one.
I’ve also tried to search a program name and put in with English subtitles and the search engine doesn’t work.
Please can you advise of a work around for this issue?
Thanks 
Changes to Aeon Noxhome screen keep disappearing

Save First Pitch
My son got to throw out the first pitch at an MLB game recently. They sent us a video link from the http://m.mlb.com website of the actual First pitch ceremony--not the game. Is there a way to save this to my computer and make a copy for him?

TMDB scraper failures for previously working movies
Hi,
I've a folder with a couple of hundred movies which - until today - have been quite happily retrieving data using the TMDB scraper. However, today I tried and failed to add a couple of new ones which I could clearly see were on TMDB. It further turns out that if I remove then re-add (and rescan) the source, many of the movies that used to work are no longer identified. Some 90 or so are now failing.
An extract from the kodi.log for one that works and one that doesn't shows:

If it comes at the start, Kodi cannot parse the response. The number of results returned seems to have no bearing on success or failure (or where the total_results field is placed).
Has anyone else seen this behaviour?
