Hi, I have three devices connected to my LG G4 OLED via HDMI and then the HDMI2 eArc port going to my receiver for audio. Unfortunately I have to do this because my receiver is old and does not support 4k. Someday I'll upgrade, but I'd like to avoid it because it's still serving me well otherwise. Because eArc is flaky, to get any sound, every time I turn my TV on, I have to either: 1) Enable/disable eArc in the LG menu (doesn't seem to be a button for this I can program) OR 2) Unplug / re-plug the HDMI2 cable OR 3) Turn off/turn on the eArc audio extractor I'm using for backwards compatibility with my Arc-only receiver To automate this, it seems like I could add a smart outlet for #3. Could the Skip1s control a smart outlet? What tech would be required to enable that?

App downloaded from here... Maybe there are newer versions around? br, kmm

Hi! Here is what I could find: Remote Model: SKIP.1S.RELEASE.A05 Serial Number: 7B0B711B5055344A3525E3120FF17230A Firmware Version: 4.12.6-0-g60dd93b GUI version: The latest I think. Downloaded SkipApp-0.9.982.8843-Beta-x64.AppImage.tar.gz today and have used that version. br, kmm

If the GUI loads fine, it's fine. It's grayed out because you must be on an old version of firmware or it's old version of the GUI. What version do you have for both?

Hi! Tried the SkipApp-0.9.982.8843-Beta-x64.AppImage for linux. While the remote connects as such, but the record button stays grayed out. Could it be that record is not yet supported? On startup I get the following library complaints. Are there something to worry about here or? Maybe something that might explain why record stays grayed out. $ ~/skip-app_0.9.982+8843_amd64.AppImage /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gvfs/libgvfscommon.so: undefined symbol: g_task_set_static_name Failed to load module: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gvfs/libgvfscommon.so: undefined symbol: g_task_set_static_name Failed to load module: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gvfs/libgvfscommon.so: undefined symbol: g_task_set_static_name Failed to load module: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so /tmp/.mount_skip-awO4cfl/usr/lib/libgnutls.so.30: version `GNUTLS_3_6_13' not found (required by /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl-gnutls.so.4) Failed to load module: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules/libgiolibproxy.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules/libgiognomeproxy.so: undefined symbol: g_task_set_name Failed to load module: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules/libgiognomeproxy.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gvfs/libgvfscommon.so: undefined symbol: g_task_set_static_name Failed to load module: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so WebKit wasn't able to find a WebVTT encoder.

There is a thread about this issue (different application) on the Raspberry Pi forums: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=358453

try running with sudo

Hi there. I am on Linux (Ubuntu 20.04), and I can not get the remote to connect using latest beta. Is the OS too outdated to run the beta appimage?

@jason ok thank you.

I'm sorry, will have time to play with this maybe end of next week

@jason Just to clarify, the loop is running on the host computer, driving the Flirc sendir process.

Could you upload again the latest version please ?

Love it, thanks for the feedback. I myself have transitioned to rechargeable too after solving many of the firmware related power issues as well as detecting low power and adjusting. Glad to hear you happy.

I'm still running an older firmware from the beginning of this month year since, since the programming feature got available on Windows. I'm using the same charge for at least 4-5 months almost daily with the standard white Panasonic Eneloop batteries (with very slow self-discharge), without any issues or hickups. I just wanted to share this and was wondering if others have the same experience with rechargeable batteries. Very happy with the product :-)

@jason let me know if you need any further information.

Here is the config for the Crestron RC5 IRID-01 code-set. All Skip 1s buttons are listed (SIMPL device Btn press # listed in parentheses). Select SIMPL "Pronto/RC5/Universal IR Remote" device in IRID 01 to use this config. Has been tested with a Crestron DMPS3-4K-50 Crestron RC5 IRID-01.json

I am kinda confused, I get the feeling Flirc and Skip 1 remote are seperate things. Any how if anyone has anything that may help with my problem, please feel free.

@jason Yes, that is correct. I can reproduce both with a Linux host and Windows host per the scripts above. Many thanks.

Hi, when I press next track on the remote the song playing in Kodi goes fast forwards. Playing back music on my PC, just wanted to shuffle my music collection and use a remote to skip tracks. Are there any files available to download, settings files for this purpose. Thank You

When using the FLIRC USB software, make sure you press and hold the button on your remote. Otherwise it will record the burst incorrectly. Try clearing and trying again. If you still have trouble, upload your config here. You don't need to record the button twice. You would assign the same wintv button in the skip app to two locatinos, one as the yellow key, and then one as the fast forward key. So the same wintv key is on two locations in the skip1s remote, but in the flirc usb software, you would record it once to F1. The software, depending on the state, would do the right thing regardless if you are pressing fast forward or yellow.

Sorry, so in other words, you have a loop transmitting on the remote, you press a button on your remote that is previously paired, and you can get it to hang, is that a summary of the issue?

why not use the sdk?

Hi there, I got a Linux machine running vdr, a Skip1s and a FLIRC. Now I have two problems: When I press a button, the command is sent several times, I have to hit the buttem extremly short. Ist there a solution yet? In the Flirc software, I use "full keyboard", in the Skip1S I used Hauppauge/WinTV. The problem here is I can't assign two remote buttons to the same key. For example, "yellow" on the remote is "F1" on the vdr, but also "fast forward" (when watchign a video". But I can't assign two remote buttons to one keyprress. Is there a solution for this?
