While the sensitivity is pretty high, the idea is you are sitting at your computer while doing the recording and right next to the device. So you bounce it off the wall and get a much more realistic signal. Then when you sit on the couch, you are much farther away, and therefore can point it directly at the direction of the device. With the bouncing off the wall for recording method, do you have better luck with it working in notepad, etc?

Eric - Publicly saying I'm sorry. I responded to your email and my suggestion was making sure both devices are not set to use libusbk. Try removing the driver for both, rebooting and seeing what drivers get loaded for each. Thanks Eric for the patience, and again, I'm sorry for the trouble. Sincerely, Jason

I picked one up, let me track down my testing results.

Hooo Rah! Awesome. Thanks for letting me know. I had a funny feeling I fixed this.

How about what you showed but with and without sequence modifiers checked?

what version of firmware are you on? Have you tried the beta? I have a release candidate, can you give that one a shot? I changed some sequence modfier code. If that doesn't work, can you post the sequence that you see when sequence modifiers are off?

Unlocking this thread. Thanks to user ceeldred, I finally got a remote that's working. I'm copying everything they are doing now. I've updated the GUI, re-learn the WMCE keys, and update to the firmware included in the package, make sure you include sequence modifiers. Please, leave comments at the release candidate thread:

I understand, it gets a bit complicated. I also have distributors that I don't want to directly compete with and their enabled and encouraged to use amazon. Where are you from in particular? Do you mean you want to go to amazon.com and order an international order, or amazon.co.uk etc?

The only way I can do that is do fulfillment by merchant, which I don't really want to do with Amazon. You can order through me, I ship internationally. flirc.tv

Go to advanced, then force firmware upgrade. You should have also been prompted to upgrade the remote. Try using the latest GUI, it's a universal build. What is the GUI version you tried?

**EDIT ** Sorry, forgot the most important part. Once you get the gui, go to File->Force Upgrade. That loads the embedded version that's in the GUI release

http://downloads.flirc.tv/release/gui/ Find your OS, and try Gui Version v1.3.3 GUI version v1.3.3 has fw v1.3.4 which has a very subtle and important difference between v1.3.5 and v1.3.6. Can you guys give that a shot?

"- TRANSIENT: interruptions where flirc stops working across all apps and then somehow fixes itself." This could be because you have the GUI open. Please don't leave the GUI open, it's not required for normal operation, just pairing. - CONSTANT: flirc gui itself mis-reporting what keys are actually being pressed for a given IR This is probably because of your host operating system keyboard selection. I think this was mentioned previously. My GUI doesn't honor what you selected as your OS keyboard, it doesn't remap the keys. So if you are using an international keyboard, this will cause it too.

I'll try and grab one of those remotes, but I don't think those run at the right frequency. My receiver is tuned at 38khz and microsoft tends to use 56kHz.

I'll fix that GUI bug. Harmony one is IR. The Harmony Ultimate can add the firetv profile as well, it was just for testing.

fire up a terminal. Type: sudo Flirc Does that work?

I have confirmed with them that there are bugs on certain harmony remotes with repeats. I have the harmony one, I don't have the repeat problem, I also just got an ultimate, and that has the issue. I will try to get a list of remotes that have the issue.

If there was a power surge, it's very likely the unit could be damaged. You should make sure you have a surge protector on the line into the pi, I don't have anything for such an event on my device. Feel free to reach out to me for a replacement.

can you post a pic to your comcast infinity remote? fstrife, I'm going to pick one of these up, I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for posting a link.

You can over-ride any keys you would like. Simply load the harmony profile, and record them again (even though they are already mapped). This is intentional. There are a lot of problems with the current profile, and I'm very aware of them. I'm in touch with logitech, and we are cleaning it up and working on new profiles. I don't have a timeline, but will definitely make an announcement on the blog. Thanks Duren.

Logitech has issued recent updates to their remotes, make sure you update your profiles. As for other remotes, it's strictly amazon's issue. It's their keyboard input delay. It's like 40ms or something stupid. If you grab their remote they sell with the fire tv and emulate pushing the button as you would a larger gummy remote button, it also feels sticky. I've told them, and can only convince them when enough people complain to them. I can't do anything on my end. It would be a hack for a single device that would cause problems on everything else. I keep in touch with them, so maybe I can convince them sooner than later.

Just got in more yesterday. Fixed and updated. Thank you for pointing that out. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Can you send or post your config?

make sure the gui is closed. Unplug, then plug in the device.

were you manually pairing remote control buttons or are you using the built in profiles only?
