If I program in an 18 character keyboard string into 1 button press on the remote, only 16 characters are applied with that button press. Example: I program in "thequickbrownfoxjumped" using the recommended method. Then, with textedit (on a Mac) active, I press the button on my Apple aluminum remote. The first 16 characters show up and then x's until I press a different button on the remote: "thequickbrownfoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" Another three character macro associated with the top of the ring on the remote, executes as expected.

Yes. After double clicking the dmg, drag and drop the app into the Applications folder (and authorize with administrator name and password). One option is to go through Launchpad and double click on the Flirc app icon. A window will pop up and complain. Click on "Show in Finder" and right click on the Flirc icon in the Applications folder. Another window should pop up (at least it does for me). Left click on "Open". Or, if you go to the Applications directly instead of going through Launchpad, right click on the Flirc app icon and then choose "Open" in the popup window. After doing that, the Flirc app should launch as expected.

Has anyone tried to control volume using the Siri Remote + Flirc USB? I believe that remote uses IR for volume control (and Bluetooth for other functions). pygr
