Can't program a lot of keys with Harmony 300. Dissapointed with Flirc

Hi guys. I've received my Flirc a few days ago and I'm not able to run a lot of functions or keys with my Harmony 300 (Vol+ vol- mute smallstepack). :o

Of course I've read before an tested this guide without luck.

The XBMC Flirc profile in MyHarmony don't work fine with the Harmony 300. If I load this profile the Volume+ Volume- and smallstepback don't work.

 

 

I've also tried to program the harmony like a Samsung LN46C650L1F and assigned a function to all the keys as mentioned in the post. BUT when I try to program or reassign this functions in the FlircGui 1.2.5 (w7x64 + firmware 2.5) they don't work.

 

For example, I press the Vol+ in the gui, it asks for the command, then I press the button in the remote and Flirc says 'recorded successfully'  BUT if I test the new key it doesn't work neither Flirc Gui nor Openelec 3.95.2. I can't make it work from any panel... minimalist, Full Keyboard, XBMC.

 

I haven't this issues with the direction arrows, exit, play, enter, stop, forward, backward, up, down, left, right, INFO and numbers 0 to 9. :wacko:

It is curious that when I record the key mute (with any button in my Harmony) it makes it on the key info :huh:

 

What can I do? A lot of thanks. :)

Hi Javiertoti,

 

I've just given it a go with my samsung remote profile for my TV

 

For example, I press the Vol+ in the gui, it asks for the command, then I press the button in the remote and Flirc says 'recorded successfully'  BUT if I test the new key it doesn't work neither Flirc Gui nor Openelec 3.95.2.

I used the XBMC controller in the Flirc GUI and it has programmed some stuff incorrectly.

  • Vol up seems to work as expected on my mac
  • Vol Down seems to be fine
  • Mute is incorrectly mapped to i (it should be F8 but that's not listed in the official wiki so not sure it should even be an option)

Apart from the mute error (which you've got spot on) I can't reproduce the vol up or vol down problem.

 

If you open a notepad or something that accepts typed input, do any characters show when you press the buttons?

I am having the same problem with the same hardware.

 

My TV is programmed to the TV button on my Harmony 300 and my Flirc is programmed on my VCR/Aux button.

 

When I try to program the Play/Pause/FF/Rew they 'don't take'.

 

Further, when I press any of these buttons after programming in Harmony software, the VCR/Aux button doesn't light up meaning there's nothing programmed to that button.

 

Is this a fault of the Harmony software not allowing those buttons to be programmed?

 

I've tried reprogramming the Play/Pause etc to Yellow/Blue and other combinations but the VCR/Aux button never lights up, and nothing shows up in Notepad (as expected).

 

My XBMC profile is also the Samsung LN46C650L1F.

 

Any other suggestions?

This is really a harmony programming issue.

You should be able to assign buttons to the VCR/Aux using the XBMC profile you mentioned. Try asking the harmony support if you continue to have issues - they'll be better placed to guide you

Hi there,

 

Thanks, I will do.  I think perhaps this remote may have reached its EOL with Logitech and won't hold out much hope in getting satisfaction with them.  It can't hurt to try I suppose.

 

Perhaps I'll just try another profile as well, one that will 'take' programming of those buttons.  Any suggestions?

The samsung is one I used to use without any problems.

 

Maybe something got corrupted in your myharmony set-up and you need to start from scratch (just a suggestion - no claims to be the correct answer)

 

Maybe try a panasonic if you want a different profile:

Manufacturer: Panasonic

Device: TC-P65VT30

Hi!

I received my flirc today and use it with the XBMC-profile on my Harmony 300. (I'm using XBMC in OpenELEC on a Raspberry Pi.)

First, my volume-buttons didn't work either.

 

I changed the keyboard layout to "german", because I'm german. ;) So, I guess, some keyboard inputs won't work as promised?

 

By changing back the keyboard layout to "us", the voume buttons work. :) Perhaps that's the trick?

But the power button still isn't working...

 

 

Leaves the question: is it a Flirc- or a XBMC-problem?
