I'm also interested in. I have configured VU+solo2 remote and one IR command "CURSOR UP" does not work. There is a way how to update buttons behavior with custom PRONTO codes -via export configuration (JSON file), modify code and import again. Unfortunately I cannot find PRONTO code for CURSOR UP command. code provided by Flirc team does not work. Ok, I did it. Found correct code for CURSOR UP and updated exported raw JSON file - remote controller works fine. To anyone who interested: 1. export Remote configuration from SkipApp 2.edit file and replace assigned code with your ones in PRONTO format 3.save and import new configuration useful tools: https://jsoneditoronline.org BR.

Also waiting for this feature. Sometimes the power command doesn't actually turn on the TV so was thinking maybe learning from the original remote might fix this issue as the TV remote works every time. Every other button press on the Flirc works fine

I've got the input switching taken care of; I was putting the delay on the input command rather than the power command. Switching it to the power command fixed it. With the devices responding though, I guess I'm just not sure what the proper steps are to get it the Flirc USB connected to each device to only respond while that particular activity is active. This is my setup: - Activity A is a PC with a Flirc USB connected that is used to 1) Wake/Sleep, and 2) a few keyboard/windows bindings like the arrows, enter, and a macro for Alt + F4 - Activity B is an Nvidia Shield pro with a Flirc USB connected for Wake/Sleep, and Shield navigation. It seems that any remote button that is mapped in either activity causes both devices to respond. I connected the Flirc USB that I have hooked to my Shield up to the PC and went through the automated process for the Shield Gen2, mapping the remote buttons to each command while having Activity B active. I assume that's where I'm messing up....I'm just not sure what the correct steps are. I guess I'm just not sure why both devices respond while I'm in Activity A or B because in the Skip activities I chose Flirc > Nvidia Shield Gen2 for the device in Activity B, and Flirc > Kodi for Activity A.

Hey Dean, I am coming from the Harmony one. this can do what you want. Using the app, you can program the power button for A, B and C to turn on multiple devices and set inputs for those devices. Each activity can control multiple devices. You need to program each button to the device and the command, just like in the Harmony app. I have activity A to watch cable. It turns on the tv, cable box and soundbar. Activity B watches Roku, it controls the roku and the soundbar. The power button under activity B controls the tv input. Under B, power on changes the tc input to HDMI 2 (for roku) and power down changes the tv input to HDMI 1 (to watch cable) I power everything up on activity A = power button on power up and I power everything down on activity A power button, power down. If I am watching roku (activity B) and want to turn everything off, I need to press A then the power button. It's a little clunky, but not too bad, I always went back to the activity to watch tv using the Harmony On as my TV would get confused when powering back on again. ~Brian

I'm using macOS 13.4.1 and wanted to check the Admin Mode Your suggested Terminal command returns "zsh No such File or Directory" when I use --- Mac Instructions: In a terminal: echo -e "{\n \"showAdminPanel\": true\n}" > ~/.config/SkipApp/config.json --- I turned on Show Hidden files and my home directory is devoid of any /.config subfolder. Where else to look? qb

Okay. If I export the whole skip config, the syntax is not exactly the same as in the device-JSON. Would be a bit of a hassle to create a new device-JSON from that. The JSON you created just contains the cursor-up command and nothing else (plus slightly wrong brandname and device type). The easiest way would be to take the "Vu+ Uno 4k SE" config, rename it to "Vu+ Uno 4k" and just change the pronto codes for cursor up. Thats all.

I tried commas instead of spaces in the JSON but still no luck. Thanks virtualxip. Makes sense about the IR, still can't make it work at the moment from my captured IR. Interestingly though the device mostly works from some other altec lansing config you have so making do with that. Weirdest part there is that the power toggle command in that config only works within like a few seconds of another command (e.g. volume down then power toggle and it toggles the power fine (as well as doing the volume down), whilst volume up/down work fine on their own). From what I'm capturing with irtools, it's like often a single press on a remote results in multiple sets of codes. Can I just chain those in my JSON config under one button command or is that going to be all kinds of wrong? Needless to say, I'm looking forward to the learning functionality! Thanks again.

I haven't had success with input switching, but here is my workaround based on a suggestion from somewhere around here...If your devices power on and off properly (which mine don't) it's only one extra button press. Press activity 'A BUTTON', then 'POWER' in order to watch TV To start watching your ROKU, press activity 'B BUTTON' without hitting the power button. You will first need to assign a button (maybe #2?) to switch the TV to HDMI 2. Unfortunately this means that you can't use the the #2 button on the keypad while watching your ROKU. To watch KODI, press activity 'C BUTTON' without hitting the power button. You will first need to assign a button (maybe #3?) to switch the TV to HDMI 3. Unfortunately this means that you can't use the the #3 button on the keypad while watching KODI-no great loss obviously. You should also program the #1 button to switch back to HDMI input for watching TV. Since you are using the same input on your a/v unit, and only changing the HDMI inputs for your 3 activities, it should be fairly simple. LOL You could use the color wheel thingy to program a 'power all off' command.

Jason, many many thanks. This works! Additional question: Is there a way to export an existing device in the database as .json? So that I could copy/create a new .json with all the commands to not have to add a second device just for one command? and of course to share it, respectively you could add it to the database?

Well, the password seems to be removed now which is nice. Managed to install it easily enough under arch linux, but it doesn't recognise that the remote's connected in the software even though it does show up as "Bus 001 Device 009: ID 20a0:0008 Clay Logic Skip 1s" with the lsusb command.

Hi! I'm running firmware version 4.12.18 and app version 0.9.80 and ever since I update to this configuration the power button only turn on/off the first thing that I have matched to the power button. All the power commands works separately, but when pressing the power button it is only ever the first command that is working. Would really like a fix for this. BR /Tony

I think I've narrowed down when the issue is specifically happening. The problem is mostly happening with the blu-ray player, and it seems to only be failing when I press the macro button's "Power On" function (but not "Power Off"). I have the blu-ray player's "Power Toggle" button in both the Power On and Power Off parts of the macro button. But when I press it the first time (to "Power On"), the remote turns on my TV, HDMI Switch, and Streambar - but not the blu-ray player. Then if I press the macro button the next time (triggering the "Power Off" set of commands), it turns the blu-ray player on (while turning off the other 3 devices). The next time I press it (this time it's Power On), the other 3 devices power back on, and the blu-ray player does not turn off - everything is now on. And finally the fourth time I press it (Power Off again), all 4 devices turn off. So again, for whatever reason, the Power Toggle of the blu-ray player is failing to be recognized every time the macro's Power On commands are activated. But when the Power Off commands are activated, the Power Togger of the player is being recognized. I at least was able to pinpoint what is failing and when. And ideas would be appreciated as to why the blu-ray player's Power command is failing only in the macro button's Power On function.

Yes, they are all assigned and I have removed and added them again without success. Right now I have the various power toggle commands assigned to the color wheel so I can turn my units on and off. And as I mentioned, the first command in the sequence always work so I have tested the various toggles by putting them first which works, but every command after the first one fails. Current setup:

It's been another week and a half, and I see that the Back command still hasn't been added for the Streambar, as of the most recent update. Since it's unknown when the current shipment will get to you, could this just finally get added once and for all? I realize there's nothing to do but wait when it comes to the shipment, but this small thing should be able to be done pretty easily in the meantime, right?

Not sure if this is the same issue as described above, but what I'm experiencing is the remote will have a pause when trying to press buttons quickly back to back. For instance when I want to exit fubo and go back to the Shield home screen I push the back button and then the home button quickly. The back button works then the led color wheel will come on and spin for a couple seconds but the second command does not register. I have to wait 2 seconds for the led's to go away and then press the home button again. Is it normal to wait 3 seconds in between commands?

This should be helpful as my help command is not great, will fix that: ⚡ irtools decode --raw="+8900 -4547 +484 -588 +456 -618 +495 -599 +484 -560 +456 -641 +458 -560 +510 -1721 +484 -587 +483 -1724 +456 -1776 +432 -1747 +511 -1722 +484 -1696 +510 -1695 +512 -562 +483 -1721 +485 -639 +405 -1748 +506 -591 +482 -564 +482 -615 +455 -1725 +478 -618 +430 -641 +57 -1723 +483 -588 +481 -1749 +433 -1801 +428 -1727 +477 -644 +430 -1722 +511 -1723 +483" +8900 -4547 +484 -588 +456 -618 +495 -599 +484 -560 +456 -641 +458 -560 +510 -1721 +484 -587 +483 -1724 +456 -1776 +432 -1747 +511 -1722 +484 -1696 +510 -1695 +512 -562 +483 -1721 +485 -639 +405 -1748 +506 -591 +482 -564 +482 -615 +455 -1725 +478 -618 +430 -641 +457 -1723 +483 -588 +481 -1749 +433 -1801 +428 -1727 +477 -644 +430 -1722 +511 -1723 +483 :: FLIRC :: NEC - scancode: 0x02FD44BB 0000 006D 0022 0002 0156 00AE 0012 0016 0011 0017 0013 0017 0012 0015 0011 0018 0011 0015 0013 0042 0012 0016 0012 0042 0011 0044 0010 0043 0013 0042 0012 0041 0013 0041 0013 0015 0012 0042 0012 0018 000F 0043 0013 0016 0012 0015 0012 0017 0011 0042 0012 0017 0010 0018 0011 0042 0012 0016 0012 0043 0010 0045 0010 0042 0012 0018 0010 0042 0013 0042 0012 05F1 0156 0056 0015 0E4A :: DECODEIR :: NEC - scancode: 0x00BB D:0x0040 S:0xFFFFFFFF :: FLIRC :: NEC - scancode: 0x02FD44BB :: ARDUINO :: UNKNOWN - scancode: 0x2A300DA3 {32} ++++ Picture for easier consumption. Here I'm invoking the command to decode a signal with raw timing, specifying the input as a parameter in quotes. The output is shown as hex codes, and it also prints back the PRONTO code. Helpful is that it appends the necessary repeat needed for NEC, which is a different sequence than the first initial signal.

The sound bar is in the database and all other commands work - volume and mute. I have another remote that correctly controls the power on this unit but I don't know what the commands are specifically. I have tried both the toggle command and the on / off commands separately and together - no luck. Do you have way forward in this situation currently or will I be able to "transfer" the IR command to the skip 1s in the future through the app?

Using flirc tools 3.26.9 installed from the deb package.

Hi, I have captured the following IR codes in the device log. I would like to send them using flirc_util sendir could you please convert them. Thanks my_flirc_log.txt

I am trying to get used to how this remote works but this one has me stumped. I have one activity configured to watch TV. The Power On macro powers on my amp and TV and switches the inputs to the correct ones. The Power Off sequence powers off the amp and TV. Pretty much all of the time I try to power off the activity it powers it on instead. I'll power on normally, watch an hour or two, then press the power button on the remote to shut off everything. Instead, it tries powering on everything again and switches the inputs again, after which I have to press the button a second time for it to actually power off. What is the logic behind how the power button works? I haven't even switched activities. I powered on everything to start with and it did that properly. Why does the remote apparently forget that power on was the last command the power button sent and does not power off the activity the next time I press the power button? I would think this is one of the very basic things the remote should be able to do. Remembering the state of the one activity I powered on and knowing to power off when I press the button an hour later should be very straightforward, so why doesn't it do that properly?

Also, when --repeat is omitted when running flirc_util.exe sendir --pronto="<pronto hex code>", flirc_util.exe defaults to 1 repeat. Not really a problem (you can specify --repeat=0), just slightly confusing.

Is it possible to parse the raw data to match it with a protocol, address and command code? I guess it should be doable especially if you can take an informed guess about the protocol being used. Is the raw data format documented somewhere?

Since we're all just kind of waiting for the next shipment of remotes, I thought I may as well revisit this in the meantime. It was over two months ago that you mentioned officially adding the missing "Back" command to the Roku Streambar, so that I wouldn't have to add it manually every time I make a new activity. I've checked the nightly updates various times since then, but see that it's still not there. Since there's not a whole lot going on right now, could you maybe get that added? As a reminder, the Back command from the "Roku 2" device is identical to that of the Roku Streambar, so the code can be taken directly from that. Should be pretty simple for you, I'm guessing. Get back to me about this when you can. Thanks!

Dragging the POWER OFF command list from a device onto the remote device made added it to the remote device, but removed it from the command list, preventing the command from being assigned to multiple buttons OR the POWER UP/POWER ON. Not sure what the expected behavior is. The UI is so bad on this I fired a UX designer on my team out of spite.

A forum member asked how I converted a CSV file I had created originally into a JSON file and I figured I would share with everyone. I pulled my codes from here https://www.remotecentral.com/cgi-bin/codes/yamaha/rx-v1000/ Here is how I got my json file. I am familiar with the Linux command line so I performed the following steps. Before I show these let me say that an easier way could be to open a spreadsheet program and copy the button name into one column and the code for the button into another column. The second column needs to have the spaces between the numeric codes replaced with commas. You should then be able to save to the CSV file. It is possible you spreadsheet program may be able to save the file to JSON. If not, you may be able to use an online tool to do that basic work. I followed the following steps to dump the html page into a bit more of a manageable file. The steps below have been modified from the blog post. lynx -dump 'https://www.remotecentral.com/cgi-bin/codes/yamaha/rx-v1000/' | sed -e 's/^ *//' | tr -s ' ' ',' | sed 's/$/,/' > dumped_page.txt I then ran the following commands to strip out more of what I did not need. sed -i '/\[filler\.gif\]/d' dumped_page.txt sed -i '/\(Copy,to,Clipboard\)/d' dumped_page.txt sed -i '/\[filler\.gif\]/d' dumped_page.txt I then opened the dumped_page.txt file into a text editor and removed all the text I did not need. How I found that was by looking for these couple of lines of text Remote Model: RAV222 [filler.gif] Power ([23]Copy to Clipboard) Power is where my first button started so I removed every line above Power in the file. I then looked for the equivalent of the bottom the button codes. [filler.gif] [ < Back | Page: 1 [43]2 | [44]Next > ] [filler.gif] I removed everything starting from the first filler.gif line to the bottom of the file. I then combined all the codes for each button onto one line.
