I am running Kodi on a Windows 8 machine, and use a Harmony Smart Control to navigate. After working fine for several months my Flirc seemed to stop receiving commands. Any button press was ignored. The receiver also failed to receive commands when in Windows' start menu. I used to use it to enter my PIN to login, but now that won't even work so that tell me it's not a software issue, at least not related to Kodi.
I reinstalled Windows, and that was of no help. I used the Flirc utility to upgrade the Flirc firmware to 3.4, that didn't help. I used Zadig to upgrade the driver to libusbk 3.0.7.0, but that fixed nothing. Last time I had a similar problem I fixed it by downloading libusb1.0.dll and placing it in my syswow64 folder, but I already tried that again and it didn't help.
What can I do?
Edit: The Flirc software does state Flirc is connected, and I'm able to record commands. I tried programming a universal remote, and I was able to record commands, but my computer fails to receive the commands.
