I have a universal remote that has the Red/Yellow/Green/Blue bottons, and I have this exact issue whenever I have the remote programmed to a device that utilizes these four buttons.
I am able to program the Flirc receiver with ease when I have the remote programmed to a device that doesn't use these buttons.
This didn't happen in older versions of the firmware, but happens on all of the more recent versions.
I believe version 2.6 was the last version I was able to use, but I can't find the download for that anymore.
It's very annoying because I like to program these buttons to do certain tasks in Kodi, such as Subtitle On/Off, Audio Delay, Watched Toggle, etc...
what kind of remote, and what kind of device?
-
that doesn't really work anymore, I'll disable that and it's only there as a backup.
Go to file->advanced, and do a force firmware upgrade.

Back to not working - sometimes not at all, sometimes just a few keys not working, or unusable delays. Anyway, I think I've seen enough and not finding any answers so I'll send it back.
Could very well be the usb port in your laptop. Maybe it's ultra noisy, or under powered. If you had a hub, you can try that. Otherwise I'm really not sure why it would be acting up. I've never heard of this misbehavior and I'm really very sorry for all the trouble.
You also shouldn't need to program or pair xbmc keys, they are pre-pared with the flirc. Just add the xbmc harmony profile, and that should be it. Make sure you are on the latest firmware which is 3.6.
Again, really sorry about all this. = (

There is a known issue with usb 3.0 and windows with a certain NEC/Renesas USB 3.0 controller. If you update your drivers, it will get fixed.
I can also send you a gui with logging to try and get to the bottom of this.I'm working on trying to make this detection better, but it's a pretty tough problem.
Let us know.

With the new version of the firmware, I'm fairly certain we solved the issues with repeaters. I haven't heard any complaints since.

I can't make them fast enough.
I have some in stock, I'll update my store front. But later this week distributors should be stocked.
-
Can I take care of it. I would like to get a hold of the unit. Could you also tell me what kind of remote you are using.
-
No not at all. You can record them from any and all. Make sure you are on firmware 3.6 too.
-
yay!
Thanks Yawor for helping out.

Very odd indeed. And only exists on one computer? You could try messing with that computer's key repeat rate.

There is a Flirc - FireTV profile in harmony control center. It's in the media center category.

Let's try a couple things before getting you a replacement.
Do you have the TV or lights on while recording. Flirc is so sensitive, it could be picking up a bunch of noise.
Make sure you on firmware version 3.6, head to the Flirc GUI, go to advanced, and do a force upgrade.
When you see the bootloader version as it upgrades, can you let me know what it is? Should be 2.0 or 2.1.
Once the upgrade is complete, do a file->clear configuration. Then start over.
You should not have to reinstall drivers for this to work correctly. It shows up as a USB keyboard, so it's not necessary at all. Let me know if the latest firmware helps. I'll get it worked out, shouldn't be this painful.

msjaxjag, why wasn't the harmony firetv profile working?
-
fire up the commandline, and do
flirc_util record power
or
flirc_util.exe record power (if you are on windows)
Adding GUI support shortly.

Thanks for posting that grayflirp, appreciate it.

Can you double check the latest version you are on?

Unfortunately you would need an unmodulated signal to solder, or you would need a modulated IR signal

Awesome, enjoy them and use them in good health.
This is a manufacturing problem, and there is no guarantee that longer screws will work for everyone. They have some holes not tapped at all.
In any case, I'm charging them for each mistake, so it's going to magically disappear soon.:)
-
This doesn't sound right, it should work with a previously paired remote without any additional software. It just shows up as a HID keyboard.
-
rpi2 is up and running, I don't have any issues.
-
if it goes undetected, fire up the gui, and if it tries to autoload firmware, it was in the bootloader.
-
Yeah, I forgot I updated my manufacturing line to use a newer firmware for new devices and those started shipping. Latest GUI's didn't support those, so I had to quickly release an update. Oops. Slaps forehead.

when you try to map a key, the GUI says, "press any key to pair with 'x',".
Do you mean you hit a remote control button and nothing is pairing?
Can you try a different remote?
If the second remote doesn't work, let me know. We'll get you a replacement.
