elee532 Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 I am looking to setup Harmony Elite remote and Flirc on my Windows 10 PC. Will I be able to control two different media center apps (specifically Jriver and Kodi)? Anything special I would need to do to set this up?Thanks!

yawor Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 First of all you need to know if Jriver can be controlled with only keyboard. You also need to know shortcuts for all functions you want to use.Kodi is supported by default so there won't be any problems with it.To control both, you should set up two separate profiles on the Harmony: one for Kodi and another one for Jriver.For Kodi you can use the Flirc/Kodi profile available in Harmony. You won't need to do anything else. Flirc has a built-in profile for that Harmony profile.For Jriver you can select a profile for some real device. For example, if you don't have LG TV, then you can use a profile for one. After selecting a profile on the remote, you need to start the Flirc GUI application and map remote buttons to keyboard shortcuts for Jriver.

elee532 Posted June 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Thanks yawor. I'll give this a try. One thing I'm not clear about... can I use one Flirc on the same PC to control both Kodi and Jriver? Do I need to do anything within the FLIRC app when I switch from using Kodi to Jriver?

yawor Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Yes, you can. The only requirement when you switch is to switch a profile on the remote. As I've written in my previous post, you should have a separate device profile on the remote for each app.BTW Flirc app is only used for programming. You don't need do anything in it during normal Flirc operation (you don't even need it running). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
