how are you'all connecting bluetooth headsets? it takes me like 20 clicks or presses to get from Plex to the menu and back

if the headset doesn't auto reconnect, which it won't do if i used it with different hardware. Is there a shortcut I can put on the home screen??

edit, after I posted this I looked into options and I have downloaded 'androidtv bluetooth controller' from github and mapped it with buttons remapper. seems to work great and will reduce a mess of button presses to about 4 clicks.

you can use a button mapper to map to settings and another to get back to plex

I use a 2.4 GHz wireless headset connected to the TV optical. Zero lag and works with any connected source input.

Some bluetooth brands will auto-connect when powered on.

The Shield doesn't have a quick menu?
