Hi All, Thought i'd let you know that Jason is concerned about the "sticky key" effect sometimes observed (e.g. when a key on the remote is pressed multiple times in quick succession resulting in a lot more scrolling than anticipated). This is due to the way Flirc currently implements how it receives a signal, Jason explains it beautifully below: As you can see there are significant variables in there: As you can imagine and appreciate it will take a lot of Jason's work and (personal free) time, so your patience is appreciated - rest assured it's on his list, at the earliest after wake is perfected. Pleasant regards Chris

The continued discussion on the OP's wake issue can be found in this thread: I thought about closing this thread at the OP's suggestion, but thought it might be worth discussing a quick XBMC tip: If you go to Settings -> System -> Power Saving and make the chosen Shutdown function is Suspend, choosing shutdown from the menu system should suspend the box. Then the ShutDown function can be defined in Keyboard.xml and assigned to any key that flirc has mapped. Or, if the skin you're using has Shutdown as an option in the menu that comes up when you press S, just map a remote button to the S key in flirc, and when you press it you can select Shutdown from the menu and your system will suspend. The default Confluence theme has a Suspend option in the S menu, so you don't even have to define the Shutdown function to get it in there.

Hi TBS, Currently by command line only: Would be great if you made this thread into a how to for users who aren't command line strong and want the windows button. Pleasant regards Chris!

Hey, I'm so sorry for my delay. The windows key is a modifier key. I never imagined on anyone wanting to hit modifier keys by themselves. If you want to do this, you can do this with the commandline. In windows, the commandline is located in the Flirc installation directory. You'll have to open up the commandline utility. Here is the command that you want: flirc record_api 8 0
