  1. So, I just need to record some keyboard keys to match the functions defined in the keyboard.xml file (“N” for changing audios and so on)… pls, pls, pls… Is there any way to manage this??

    Thanks guys for your infinite patience.

    You can use whatever button in any Device you activate in your Harmony profile (that's not used in your own equipment). Problem is to remember how you mapped the buttons, especially if you rename them or the original name is different from the function used in Kodi. Therefore it's great Jason created the Flirc profile for Kodi but sad he doesn't have time to fix the errors.

  2. Which device are you using in the Harmony config and which button do you try to use? If you use flirc as device there is no "Toggle subtittles" button (at least not in my config). Some buttons in the Flirc device for Kodi doesn't have a proper IR-code and doesn't send anything, this is a known bug.

    Look in below thread, I have documented all keys. After writing the post I learned that some of the problems with wrong keymap is due to I use Swedish keyboard. Those keys must be re-mapped manually and therefore not a bug in firmware nor in the Harmony device profile.

  3. I have seen a YouTube video though of a guy testing the Pi3, its built in wifi using a Flirc case and the wifi strength was very good.

    If you place your Wifi router close to the case you would always get a great signal... In the Youtube video Nate never said anything about the environment so I would not rely on his statement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2z5UHCeu6o

    It would be interesting if someone did a technical test to see how the signal quality differs with and without the case.

  4. I also use Swedish keymap and I has also been through this...

    I understand it's difficult to provide all local keymaps in the GUI, however, at least there could be a warning in the GUI and some text describing the workaround in the help file. The product is sold word wide and it shouldn't be a big thing to include in the next release.

    For others reading this thread, you don't need to inactive the native Kodi profile in the flirc client, just re-program the keys that doesn't work and they will overwrite the specific keymap in firmware, rest will work as before.

  5. I don't agree... :-)

    There is several buttons that is mapped with the completly wrong keymap in the firmware, for example those below. I can't see that the wrong codes depends on the keyboard language setting. @yawor, do you mean those are correct and is working?

    First of all I believe the keys mapped as standard by Kodi.org should also be default in the native profile. If someone want to change to something else they can easily do as described above. Source:http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Keyboard

    Examples of wrong keymapps:

    PowerOff    Ctrl+F12
    SubtitleDelay    F4
    AudioDelay    F3
    BigStepBack    Down
    BigStepForward    Up
    Red    Shift+Ctrl+R
    Green    Shift+Ctrl+G
    Yellow    Shift+Ctrl+Y
    Blue    Shift+Ctrl+B
    Rewind    ?
    SkipBack    R
    Play    Ctrl+P
    FastForward    ?
    SkipForward    F

     

    Here is some buttons missing in the flirc Harmony profile, they need to be added in both the Harmony database with new IR-codes and in flirc FW:

    TV Channels
    TV Recordings
    TV Timers
    Top
    Bottom
    Delete
    Menu
    Exit
    Guide
    Channel Up
    Channel Down
    Prev <--
    Record
    Plus
    Enter

    Am I the only one missing correction of above wrong codes and addition of the missing??

     

  6. If you don't have a English keyboard configured in Windows the native keys in flirc firmware could be wrong for you. Reason is that they point to the physical postion of they keys on your keyboard and simulates it. If the used keyboard differs from standard English keyboard the wrong key is sent.

    Just do as suggested, program the not working keys manually and it should work :-)

  7. I have the same case and has remapped some of the Flirc keys in Harmony to the more important and missing key codes. For example flirc key "AudioDelay-" is mapped to the Harmony key "Record". Then I have also manually added the WMC key "Ctrl+R" in the flirc config software. I have done the same thing for keys like Menu, Exit, Guide etc. However, it's a nightmare to troubleshoot something later when you forgot how you did the mapping (I keep it in Excel).

    Yawor, I think you miss the point how great the combination built-in native flirc profiles and Harmony are. Only problem is that the current profiles miss important keys and has some errors. Fix this and life would easier for many of us users.

     
  8. Try the keys listed here: http://kodi.wiki/view/Keyboard_controls

    That's what should be in my GUI, but you never know, they update the shortcuts periodically.

    This statement is not fair, the Kodi developers hasn't changed the keymappings since November 2011. Source: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/Eden/system/keymaps/keyboard.xml

    Please, fix the bugs in the Native profile for Harmony remotes and it would make the life easier for many of us.

  9. I never had this kind of problems with flirc and are using a similar setup (but with Win 7 as Win 8.1 sucks...)

     

    Have you verified if the keypresses are recongized in any other program when it stops working in Kodi? For troubleshooting you could install Eventghost and track all keypresses (using log all events)

    1. If I press the F9 combo, I see in the log:
      1. Keyboard.Ctrl
      2. Keyboard.Shift+Ctrl
      3. Keyboard.Shift+Ctrl+Alt
      4. Keyboard.Shift+Ctrl+Alt+F9
    2. If I then press the F10 combo, I see in the log:
      1. Keyboard.Ctrl
      2. Keyboard.Shift+Ctrl
      3. Keyboard.Shift+Ctrl+Alt
      4. Keyboard.Shift+Ctrl+Alt+F10
      5. Keyboard.Shift+Ctrl+Alt+F9 (bad)

     

    I tested and I get the exact same result with latest RC1. I'm using Win7 64-bit.

    Videonisse,

     

    It will be corrected sooner or later, but there are currently other problems Jason is working on right now (ones that can't be corrected by users themselves) and he is asking for patience. I know that it may be frustrating. It may be easy to correct those keys in the built-in profile, but on the other hand it IS also easy to just disable built-in profiles in Flirc and map correct buttons yourself. You don't even need to change the profile in the Harmony remote - just use Flirc GUI to remap the functions using XBMC or, even better, Keyboard controller.

     

    BTW I'm not sure why you think that up and down arrows should use Page Up and Page Down keys instead of Up and Down. How would you want to move 1 position up/down at a time in the list?

     

    Please, get focus straight and take a decision to either remove the flirc Natvie Kodi profile in Harmony, or update it on the Harmony side as well as in the firmware. This is a joke as it is now and nothing happens, I have actually offered me to help out if possible - no response what so ever.

     

    Regarding your last question; it's actualy Jason who has set it up as this in Harmony, don't blame me. However, I think it's the right choice of button to map.

  11. I have a Win 8.1 PC with WMC and a Flirc with v0.96 (fw 255) running for a couple of year. It's located 4 hours from me but I use VNC over broadband to remote control thing. It's used by my parents.

     

    Because of endless with issues with Win 8.x and will temporary take their Win 7 desktop pc and use it for WMC.

     

    I must get flirc working in the Win 7 PC 32-bit but without upgrading to latest flirc versions and without config changes in the flirc

     

    Can I simply install the v0.96 from homepage on my Win 7 PC? I did a quick trial but so far I can't get it running (not recognized in flirc GUI). When switching back to Win 8it works as before.

     

    Is it something wrong with the 0,96 version on homepage when using with Win 7?

     

     

    Appreciate any help because I have ditched my parents TV for now...

  12. You Admins, shall I understand that it's very difficult or time consuming to fix those small corrections in the firmware?!

     

    I understand it take a little more time to add the requested missing buttons, but to fix the incorrect ones in fw can't be very hard.

     

    For example it can't be hard to adjust the fw for following codes to the correct one. I have the complete list in my previous post and if some one of you other guys double check if my list are in line with the official info from the Kodi-team, then it should be very easy for Jason to adjust in next fw release.

     

    Function                 Wrong          Correct

    Up Arrow                   Up                 PageUp  

    Down Arrow              Down             PageDown

    Volume Down           Oemplus       - (minus)

    Volume Up                Skift+Oem4   + (plus)

    Skip Back |<<           R                   , (comma)

    Play >                       Ctrl+P            P

    Skip Forward >>|      F                    . (period)

     

    Does anyone know what's needed to update the Harmony profile and how the process look likes?

     

     

    Please, no more bad excuses, instead focus on how we can help Jason making it easier for him to get this done (or if we can do it for him by for example the Harmony profile).

  13.  

    I am logging events in EventGhost. I consider myself a fairly advanced user and am frustrated with how touchy this device is. 

     

    I managed to get just about everything working right using my old TiVo remote (skips, etc, launching). I used interkey delay of 3 and only had sequence modifiers checked.I programmed my Harmony ONE to emulate a TiVo remote and could not reproduce the functionality. I went back to the TiVo remote again to try and set it up once more and am unable to get something as simple as CTRL+P to record and replay. The GUI shows a successful read of the remote button, but when I press the button again, AI get the following in EventGhost]

     

    Keyboard.LCtrl+U00
    Keyboard.U00
     
    The P apparently is getting missed.

     

    It must be something wrong with the hardware in your Flirc. I'm using v3.1 in Windows 7 and has no problem connecting Ctrl+P for Pause. As remote I have Harmony One with Flirc XBMC profile (I have remapped several of the buttons). Ctrl+B etc works also well.

     

    In EventGhost I get:

    Keyboard.Ctrl

    Keyboard.Ctrl+P
