Budwyzer Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 I have all the keys I absolutely NEED. But in order to type stuff when searching in Netflix or something I have to use the bluetooth keypad and OMG does it have a bad connection! It has to have a clear LoS to the receiver and you cant cover the back with your hand. So, what I'm wondering is why am I limited from programming the entire keyboard from my remote into the Flirc? Is there not enough physical memory? Or was it just not something that was foreseen to ever be an issue? There's my TV remote. Full keyboard and even has game buttons! Being able to use it as a backup controller for Inde games on Steam would be great too! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris! Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Hi budwyzer There is only a finite amount of memory in flirc. It can store a large quantity but not large enough for your remote. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flackJacket Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 dang. I bought flirc specifically to use with this remote..just got it friday and found the key limit yesterday when trying to program everything. So what is the max number of keys?

Chris! Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 160 I think Flirc.TV/faq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budwyzer Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 160 I think Flirc.TV/faq Made it a URL, but I'm pretty sure I'm not where near that 160 limit. Does key combinations take a key each? IE: Win+1 = 2 keys? Anyway, I've got: Win+1 = 2 (assuming) Up Down Left Right Vol UP Vol Down OK = Enter Info = I Exit = Escape Back = Backspace channel UP = Page up Channel down = page down rewind = rewind in XBMC remote Fast forward Stop Pause Play Yellow = C That's only 20, that should easily leave enough room for 26 characters + 10 numbers. No need for shift, searching isn't ever case sensitive. Yet, when I try to do this I run out of room. I'll try again this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budwyzer Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 This is dead. It was due to a bug that caused it to think there were no more empty key slots. Could it be deleted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris! Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Could do but we'll keep it around just in case :) (We have top men working on it right now. who Top. Men.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommymsw Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) I have this same remote and also can not get it to work. If I try to program 80 keys, it works just fine, but when I add the last 4 (total of 84) the Flirc simply stops working and NONE of the buttons on the remote return a value. I have version 1.2.4 and the latest firmware. Suspected that there may be a problem with the "erase" command and started fresh. This time only programming 76 buttons on the remote and saving after each group of buttons. All seems to be working, even the previous keys that gave me the "button already exists" error. I can manage with the 76 keys, I will try the last 6 or so later on and save after each time and see what happens. Maybe the act of erasing and adding adds to the memory?
