Small update on the matter. While searching the internets for specs, I found a lot of info on the Marantz remote, seemingly using a standard called RC5x: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=5109AC3D.2020003%40perrache.com&forum_name=lirc-list
Would it be possible to add this to Flirc in the (near) future?

Ok, just made some tests. I've tried the Sony remote, the Apple remote and the Marantz one. Sony and Apple are kind of the same, but the Marantz seems to have at least 3 pulses (where the other ones had just one), so it's clearly sending out totally different signals.
With the Marantz remote, when I try to record a key, only 2 or 3 buttons are picked up by Flirc (constantly, from what I can tell)

Hi Nobuddy!
I've programmed it using the Linux shell commands, so I don't think it has anything to do with regional settings, but it might use a custom propriatery method of sending commands, because Flirc doesn't seem to pick up many buttons at all.
I'll try the camera thing tonight and see how it works ;)

Hi guys.
Just received my Flirc today and I started playing with it right away, but I learned it's a love hate relationship.
I planned to use it with my Marantz remote, which has a lot of buttons available and only a handful of useful ones. However, it didn't really work. I think a couple random buttons were picked up, but otherwise, no movement. I have very little info on the Marantz remote, but I would be happy to do some debugging if I could get some pointers to how should I proceed.
As a side note, the Sony Bravia remote works great, but it collides with the TV. I'm going to see if I can switch off some functionality from the TV, but I'm not really sure if it's possible.
Cheers,
Catalin
Marantz Remote and Flirc - love hate

UPDATE: Using the latest Flirc GUI (not the one that's installed by apt-get), the Marantz remote works pretty well (some buttons are not available, but I could get a good working setup out of it). I had to record the buttons twice to get it working, but results are very good.
