Not sure what's happening then. I've just gone through the process again to make sure. Show in finder. Right Click. Select Open from the top of the list. Then select Open again. Did the app fail to pop up after that second open, or did you run into a problem before that? Do you have admin access on your Mac?
I've noticed with my xbox remote that each button will send 2 different codes. To fix it, you have to record a button, then record it again. I don't know that this will fix your problem, which sounds a bit different, but at least worth trying. For whatever reason Xbox remotes are a bit odd.
What version of the Flirc app are you running? I'm on v3.25.3 and having zero problems running on an M1 MacBook Air. Only Security/Privacy settings I've enabled is giving Flirc access to the Documents and Desktop folders. Also, are you using a v2 or v1 flirc?
Out of curiosity, have you tried doing a clean wipe of your Flirc and programming again? The flirc should ignore any IR that it isn't taught, so I'm wondering if the TV is somehow sending actual old signals.
From the description:
Uses Bluetooth wireless Technology to manage media playback of PS4 streaming and live apps
Sounds like it mostly doesn't do IR. There is some limited support for volume, input, and power for TVs, but that's it.
As he said, the fn button doesn't actually do anything, it just changes what command your keyboard sends. So if you can tell us what command fn+f4 on your keyboard sends, we may be able to help
Pretty cool guide. Gonna give it a try. Before I do, if either of you are still around, is this a windows 10 guide, or is it for one of the Linux-based HTPCs?
Sorry, let me understand a bit more. The FLIRC is an IR receiver that translates IR into various computer and keyboard commands. What exactly is it you want to do with it?
Yep, the older remote uses IR signals and should work great for your purposes. Just a quick note, the newer remote with the touchpad will not work, because only the volume buttons are IR.
I'm getting an OTG cable, so will be able to help more then. In the meantime, have you tried testing on a second computer or other device? At minimum the navigation buttons (up, down, left, right) should work no matter what you plug it into.
