TCL Google TV
Posted: Wed May 29, 2024 1:40 pm
Just picked up this TV and embarked on a long, arduous code search. Sharing the results here. Got an excellent start from the other TCL Google TV upgrades in the file section. But a few of the really elusive codes came from the official upgrade from UEI which I found on the Simpleset site. This remote has a lot of functions that only work in certain contexts, like in certain apps or during playback. So repeating the brute for searches in every context was tricky, and even then, didn't yield repeatable results.
This upgrade has everything on the original remote plus digits, separator, discrete inputs, media player, bookmark, Disney+, Web Browser, ffwd, rewind. I also discovered that a long press of HOME goes to OPTIONS (gear icon) just like the Options function.
The colored button functions (Red, Green, Blue, Yellow) came from official UEI upgrades. But I was unable to confirm if they actually work since I don't have any apps that use them.
Right and Left arrows on the OEM remote only do skip, not search. Holding R/L sort of searches, but is hard to control. So these ffwd and rewind are actually quite useful, especially on apps like Sling and Youtube. I also found Stop, Pause and Play which aren't terribly useful. OK for Play/Pause works better. I recommend using OK, ffwd, rewind, Right and Left for the transport keys Play/Pause, ffwd, rewind, skipfwd and skipback respectively.
The Assistant (Voice) and Pairing functions don't do anything useful without the original remote.
Some compatible UEI setup codes (TV) are: 5446, 2434, 3183, 3078, 5604, 2414

If anybody finds any new functions, please post here and I'll add them to the upgrade. I really like this TV, and any new discretes, especially for apps would be great.
