A Harmony One

Here ar my config files 1,2,3 the number relating to the sensitivity at which it was recorded. And the output of settings: (There are intentionally two escape codes) Settings: sleep detection: Enabled sensitivity: 3 inter-key delay: 6 Recorded Keys: hash key --------- --- 79E6FA07 1 79882461 2 79085466 3 79666AE1 4 7908943A 5 7988C33F 6 79081333 7 79AA3C8C 8 792A6C91 9 798823F2 0 79CC1365 c 79E67B0F w 79AA7A32 x 792AEA0B space 794452B6 , 794CA31C . 792A4B2D r 790891AD f 794CA48B p 79AA7C50 backspace 79E6F998 pagedown 790853F7 pageup 792AE81D return 7908D0F2 up 79AAF94B down 794CA29D left 792A2951 right 79EE6AD5 e 796E3DCD i 792A6B22 escape 79CC93FC escape 79EE6AE4 m 79CC906F tab 798821D4 a 798880CF home 791081C3 end 792ACC43 o 7988A2EA z 79CC510B wake 1.fcfg 2.fcfg 3.fcfg

Just about to upload them, one thing I probably haven't mad clear on my previous posts is that the stuck key phenomenon isn't every time it's sporadic, seems to be worst in the morning, with the lights on, and when plugged into the front of my HTPC. But will occur when any of those variables aren't met. Silly question, how do I get a copy of the flirc_util settings to my clipboard, don't fancy typing it all out. It occurs with any firmware, not just the beta 7 one.

The only things on are the HTPC, AV receiver, TV. It does seem to change depending on whether the room lights are on. I've just recorded all my commands at sensitivity levels of 1,2,3 all in my Devonshire Fudge Tin. Now trying it in different USB ports in the PC, also seems to be worst when I plug it into the front port. Out of interest Chris, what are your Harmony settings. At the moment mine are all 200ms and the responding too much to commands one is set at 0. And could the interkey delay be of any use? Currently set at 6 but have tried it at 2, can't quite remember the difference if any. Also am I correct in assuming that the sensitivity level of 3 is the least sensitive, only assume this because when I tried 0 each command could be recorded several times each with a different code from the same key, leading me to believe that the Flirc was picking up a lot of noise. Can upload my fcfg files if that helps at all. I'm using the Samsung TV profile recommended, tried the Panasonic one but as I have a Panasonic TV that didn't work so well, also tried the Sky HD PVR one that someone else recommended but it was very sluggish indeed. I can't really think of anything else to try now, and I can't quite get my head around why the Flirc just keeps repeating the same command over and over until I either remove it or use another button. It's like it gets stuck in an endless loop. I had problems with Phantom commands before but managed to sort that one out with the Fudge tin.

Most definitely location dependent. Worst plugged into the front of my HTPC, then into the back of my HTPC, best when used with my laptop on the table a yard away.

Seems to be worse once the remote has been unused for a while, still getting problems. I'm using beta 7. There goes my theory!

My flirc is working perfectly except for one thing. Sticky keys, I press down, for example, and it just keeps getting repeated ad infinitum until I either remove the flirc or press another key. Experimenting at home it seems to be a bit location dependent. It's far worse on my HTPC than on my laptop, but if I move my laptop to the approximate location of my HTPC then I can reproduce the problem. This is only a difference of about a yard or so. This made me think that perhaps somehow the IR signal is getting "bounced around a bit" coupled with the excellent sensitivity of the flirc. Part 2 was to wrap the flirc in aluminium foil around the sides, leaving only the front IR receivers exposed. Voila, initial testing seems encouraging. Will continue to test today and post back. So in the sensitivity setting in the CLI the range is 0-3, is 0 the least sensitive and 3 the most sensitive. May have a play around with these once someone lets me know which way round the sensitivity is. If I'm talking complete swollocks then sorry, but I've tried every other solution on the board and just want to get to the bottom of things as Flirc really could be the answer to my HTPC remote problems, and I really don't want to relegate it to a drawer somewhere.
