[RASPBMC, FLIRC, HARMONY ULTIMATE]

i'm not sure what contextual menu means but on other xbmc remote apps on iOS i press the keyboard button to bring up the on screen keyboard (on my iPhone) and i press either the MENU button or the HOME button to take me back to the XBMC home screen. Currently I am having to press the BACK button over and over again to work my way all the way back to the home screen.

[RASPBMC, FLIRC, HARMONY ULTIMATE]

I'm a dad. I have spent 5 days putting together toys that my kids got for Christmas. Setting up iPads and new laptops for relatives and today I finally got time to play with one of my new toys - the Flirc - and planned to spend several hours on this to get it all working.

 

BUT...

 

I plugged Flirc into my little RASPBMC box and added the Flirc device to my Harmony Ultimate remote.

 

BAM!!! - it all worked the first time with NO FREAKING ISSUES

 

Wow - I am done in 10 minutes flat

 

I totally didn't expect this.

 

I have only 3 questions:

 

- on my Harmony remote, for the life of me, I can't find the button that is equivalent to the HOME button on other xbmc remotes.Is there one? Do I need an update or something?

- when I go to the search screen on the xbmc, I wish a keyboard menu would pop open on the HARMONY iOS app so I can type on the smartphone instead of using the arrow keys. Is there a way to make this happen?

- Should I be installing any software on the Raspberry Pi or updating any firmware or anything? It seems to good to be true how awesome this is

 

 

THANK YOU FLIRC!!! YOU ROCK
