Geoff Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Having problems with two buttons Play/Pause not working. Couldn't get flirc to work out of the box so used the Kodi profile to map the buttons. However for some reason the Play and Pause buttons do not seem to work.The play not at all and the pause some of the time.As you can see I'm using an old Harmony but this still works for all my other activities with no problems.Have tried erasing and redoing the buttons but no luck.Even deleted the pause from the harmony profile in the hope that the Play button would work as both Play and Pause, but no luck.Regards Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Try going to the media keys controller and recording over the keys. See if that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted December 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 No go, still the same result. The pause button works sometimes the play not at all.Have been using a Windows 10 laptop to program the buttons. I then transfer the dongle to a NUC running Ubuntu. Could this be a problem?Tried with another remote and same result.The computer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayneg Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 I'd try mapping play to "P" and pause to "spacebar" using the full keyboard interface if you haven't already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted December 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) Running Kodi 15.2.Wayneg not sure what you mean ,my Harmony does not have a keyboard.Trying to see if I can get it to work in Windows 10 using a wireless keyboard.Tried two different keyboards, a standard wireless and a iPazzPort. Neither worked on my laptop Edited December 14, 2015 by Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted December 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Christmas came and went.Had time to fiddle. Have found that Flirc works using the same remote in an Android box running Kodi 15.2, all programmed buttons including play and pause.So its not the dongle.So its either the Ubuntu OS or the NUC.Will lirc interfere with the remote?Have had a problem with the NUC running Airplay through Kodi.The iphone would not recognise Kodi, but run it through the Android box and it worked perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
