Can I set the Netflix button on the remote to open Prime?

mrkdggns — Wed, 01 Dec 2021 11:03:11 GMT

Love how minimal the Google TV remote is - but it would be great if I could configure the Netflix button to open a different subscription service such as PRIME or DISNEY+.

Any way to do this? We have IOS/apple devices in this house,

I have found this PAID solution. Not 100% it works in UK, but was hoping for something a little more “part of the service”

These instructions may be a little easier, but I don't know if it is worth the cost and trouble vs convenience.

I guess Google are keen to wrap this thread. In which case the answer seems to be ‘you can’t do this natively, but you can pay for apps to achieve it’.

Hey there,

I was just checking up since there wasn't activity for a few days. You are correct that, currently, there is not an official way to remap the buttons on the Chromecast with Google TV remote. If this is functionality you would like to see in the future, I'd encourage you to submit feedback via Google TV to let to Google know.

Best regards,

Jeran

Hey there!

We haven't heard back from mrkdggns, and it's been a few days, so I'm locking the thread. As always, feel free to make a new thread if you have any more questions or concerns.

Thank you for your help, BG!
