Use the media keys from the remote on an Android TV Box

Feature Suggestions
1

On an Android TV Box, used via a remote, I’d like to be able to use the media keys (play / pause at least) and not have to go through the menu.

2

What Android TV device has media keys?

3

any Android box TV with a remote and more especially if you control it via a Logitech Harmony device.
Those media keys works perfectly with the other apps but not with Plex. Seems to be a mapping issue

Android TV is an operating system is it not a device. many devices claiming to be “Android TV” run regular or customized Android mobile in landscape and have an HDMI port. This for example does not run Android TV OS https://www.amazon.com/GooBang-Doo-Android-Marshmallow-Amlogic/dp/B01MZ8QCED/

Actual Android TV devices of which there are few ( like the Nvidia shield ) usually have only directional, home and back buttons. this is why i am curious what devices that run Android TV OS have them because i have never seen one ( not trying to say idea is bad )

That’s why I discussed about Android TV Boxes since my first post in this topic.
Now since you want links from Amazon:

The media keys are natively managed by the system. You can even buy a remote with an IR USB dongle, plug it and use or
Or use a Logitech Harmony if your box has IR. It will just work out of the box, without setup.

By working, I mean, I can use those with Kodi, Molotov, Spotify, …
