[Can Flirc SE do discrete power buttons?]

Can Flirc SE do discrete power buttons?

One button for power on (only) and a second button for power off?  Instead of power toggle?

[MCE remote Key # and * = 3 and 8]

on my MCE remote I learn the buttons

1

2

3

4

5

6

7

8

9

0

without issue.

Learning the buttons * and # has no issues however when I press * on the MCE remote I get the number 8 pressed on screen

and

when I press # on the remote I get the number 3 pressed on screen

I hope this now makes more sense. 

[MCE remote Key # and * = 3 and 8]

MCE remote Keys

* = 8 and # =3

What am I doing wrong?

 

v1 hardware

firmware 3.9.0

Sofware Flirc 3.11.6

[LG 47LW650T remote]

on my LG TV (2011 and 2013 smart models) when I switch to HDMI input the up, down, left, right, OK, play, stop FF and RW buttons do nothing on the TV so I can use these for the Flirc.  I hope that helps.

 

However on my LG 2010 the up, down, left, right are ok but the OK is used by the tv so I had to choose another button for ok which can be confusing for the kids.

[amazon fire TV and MCE = double key press in software?]

noise canceler and Inter-key delay = 0 helped but still get a few mutli-key presses its like I need Inter-key delay = -2 to make it perfect.

 

 

Also more wiredness I have to program each button twice in the GUI?  Clear configuration and force upgrade firmware does nothing.  The device still have the same buttons mapped.

[amazon fire TV and MCE = double key press in software?]

Got an amazon fire TV UK version.  Got an office version 1 MCE remote (not branded HP or lenvo but an official MS one).

 

use Mac with Yosemite to update to version 3.1 firmware and then learn keys from MCE remote.  Put device into Amazon Fire TV and any button on the mce remote registers as multi key press.  i.e. left on MCE = Left Left or screen.

 

Went into the FILRC software GUI and changed Inter-key delay to diferent settings but this just increased or decreased the number of repeating key presses.  No setting, 1 through to 6 would prevent/stop the reapeating key issue.

 

Anyone got any suggestion?
