GeoffatMM Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 Hi Macbook air running 10.15.3 using flirc_util 3.25.3 with hardware version 4.9.3. Trting to use the CLI to install a macro but I cannot get all command to work. Version and help are fine but when I try to use flirc_util eys I get the response "device disconnected, can't run command" but flirc is connected and recording standard buttons is fine. Tried removing and reconnecting the usb device but it is the same. Any command that requires a response from the dongle gives the same response. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

GeoffatMM Posted May 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) Thanks Jason, that works! Will try to record a macro. I did not notice that instruction in the guide that I read. Also, I was mislead because the advanced button allow me to select between Record, Long Press and Macro. What is the purpose of these selcetors? When I read the manual I am confused and I suspect the manual is not correct? Here is the hello example. The first instruction is record but shouldn't the followng ones all be record_macro? If I follow this instruction I will end up with just "o" won't I? (Or error messages to say the button is already recorded)? Example 1: "hello" The following example shows how to use the commandline utility to send the word 'hello' on a single remote control press. To do this, we must first record the letter 'h', then record the remainder as macros on top of 'h'. Below will show the complete working example of this: bash $ flirc_util record h Press any button on the remote to link it with 'h' Succesfully recorded button bash $ flirc_util record e Press any button on the remote to link it with 'e' Succesfully recorded button bash $ flirc_util record l Press any button on the remote to link it with 'l' Succesfully recorded button bash $ flirc_util record l Press any button on the remote to link it with 'l' Succesfully recorded button bash $ flirc_util record o Press any button on the remote to link it with 'o' Succesfully recorded button Edited May 4, 2020 by GeoffatMM Adding Macro data Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) Not a linux user but in Windows CMD do you replace bash $ flirc_until with flirc_until.exe? I'm currently having issues with my Flirc's excepting commands for Kodi and I thought I'd try command line. Thus far I've only done flirc_util.exe settings to see what the current settings are. They are as follows: 3.25.3 FW Version: v4.9.3 SKU: Flirc 2.0 [dori] Branch: master Config: release Hash: 0xCB185BDE Settings: sleep detection: always enabled noise canceler: always enabled inter-key delay: N/A for current firmware variant: Flirc builtin profiles: NA Memory Info: NA product sku: Flirc 2.0 [dori] Recorded Keys: Index hash IK ID key ----- -------- --- -- ------------ 0 A0AB871A 077 02 menu_up 1 5DB5670D 076 02 menu_right 2 CB58A141 076 02 menu_down 3 5DB54866 077 02 menu_left 4 CB58A05A 076 02 menu_pick 5 791733F0 054 04 browser_back 6 1EDDA9CE 077 04 browser_home Edited May 5, 2020 by Sammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
