Interesting feedback, I'll take a look to see if I can reproduce this. Thanks for letting me know.

New release with some fixes: https://forum.flirc.tv/index.php?/topic/13858-skipapp-09955-with-ir-learning-alpha-4/

Critical - Learning requires both remotes to be facing each other and about 1 inch apart. Further detail here along in previous releases: Alpha 1 Alpha 2 Alpha 3 Here is how it works: CleanShot 2023-12-15 at 22.54.49.mp4 You need to be using the included firmware in order to do any recording. The version embedded is v4.13.2 Changelog Alpha4 Fixed - Dragable Buttons getting stuck Fixed - Elements / Tabs should not be during in wizard Fixed - Sync button should not be clickable during wizard Improved - UX elements in record and hover states Improved - UX style and animations during record Windows Download Mac Download Linux - We understand the issue, and have one more bug to solve. We're working on it. Firmware Update If you are not presented with update dialog, please follow the directions outlined here. What's Next Better Error Handling and user feedback during record process Better phone home for failures so I can quickly identify protocol trouble and issue quick fixes Smoother transition when we are done recording Automated handling for buttons that only send out one single signal Many Many bug fixes you probably don't see

Let me look into this

What device are you using channels on?

I'm sorry for my delay. TLDR, it's supported. For an explanation, see below. The BuiltIn Profiles are custom Flirc Codes that will not conflict with anything else. Those codes are built in harmony's database, and the skipapp. Harmony died before we had a chance to get more profiles in their software. I have not created a profile for channels yet. But all that means is that it's not pre-pared if you use a Skip1s or Harmony remote. You can use the GUI to dynamically map those keys to your remote just fine. Let me know if that makes sense.

Have this fixed. I'd like a couple more things included. Release is coming.

Yes. You are correct. Just remap it in the Flirc App and no direct way to do it yet within SkipApp

Oh awesome, I like to hear that. Sorry, to clarify, you can do macros in the skip app with the skip remote. Any button can become a macro, and the remote can do all the sequencing and timing for you. OR, you can do that directly in the Flirc App Gui with the FLIRC USB. Where the filrc usb will receive one signal, and do macros by itself. Either can do it. But the SkipApp + Remote is much more intuitive and controlling. I just meant you can't do it with SkipApp and the Flirc USB since the SkipApp doesn't talk to the Flirc USB yet. Sorry, did that make sense?

I'm really sorry, this is just as frustrating for me. I have a workaround but am only 50% there and wont be finished for another couple of weeks. If you have another computer without steam, you can try it there. Or I believe windows allows you to create app sandboxes. This whole thing is complete bullshit. Windows requires us to use their framework for USB, and then Steam installs a driver that hijacks all USB devices on a system and doesn't allow our own app to connect to it. We have modified our app to launch an escalated second process to undo it, however, it's not working on your machine. And this workaround we created violates windows own terms of App creation which would prevent us from being in their own app store. It's absolutely insane. Fuck windows and fuck steam. After uninstalling steam, they leave this bullshit on the PC and it still is broken.

Skip can do macro's. You can't do those directly in the SkipApp GUI. This is planned, but way down the line.

We're able to reproduce this. Trying to get another update out tomorrow.

What GUI version do you have? Do you get any log? Try the commandline. It's in the directory of the GUI: flirc_util.exe upgrade flirc_gen2_v4.10.2.bin etc.. flirc_gen2_v4.10.2.bin

Oh good to know. What device do you have? Can you send me your configuration?

Yes any button which has more than one button is a macro and will take some time to execute.

Oh how funny. Is it stuck? If you restart the gui, does it get fixed?

Extremely frustrating which is why we focused on the learning portion of the device so you can learn from existing devices. I’m sorry for your initial frustration. But don’t worry. Try this: If that doesn’t work for some reason I’ll help get it fixed asap.

Thank you for the feedback. I'm so confident in this that I may do a wider release and have already started pre-loading on new shipments. I don't know why I never thought of stress testing the remote and just rubbing my hands up and down buttons for ten minutes and seeing the result at the end. This effectively reproduced a ridiculous timing situation that was very rare. But multiply each person using the remote every day by the number of remotes, ended up being pretty frequent and frustrating. Thanks again.

Can you try what mluna99 has done. Leave the remote plugged into the computer. Restart the computer. Don't disconnect the remote, and immediately launch the software? Make sure it's not on a hub, but directly attached to the PC. Do you have steam installed?

sorry, script moved them during PR cleanup. Updated.

flirc_util settings

Was probably a mislabel, I'll check it out. I believe it was 4.12.22

Thanks for the feedback and testing. Almost there on linux. I was hoping to have this done for the next release but we're stuck on one last problem. New update released. The biggest part of the next update is the firmware. locking. ** Edit ** https://forum.flirc.tv/index.php?/topic/13729-skipapp-09955-with-ir-learning-alpha-3/

I'm sorry for the delay. This was actually a problem in existing firmware. I think I got it. In new beta.
