All Activity

You can. First record the first key normally. Then go to the GUI. File->Advanced. Then change the recording mode to macro. Now record the same button on your remote. Rather than getting a 'key already exists' error, you should be able to keep recording on that key. Same goes for long press. Sorry, I just checked, I thought that was in the manual. It's going to get updated soon. I had to drop gitbook, they lost my manual, and I can't edit it. So I had to re-write it in docusaurus. I'm really sorry, I fucked up and let you guys down. I'll do better. Sounds like it was replaced. I heard of the 'memory' issue one other time. Waiting for a device to reproduce it. I was hoping @Brigitte still had it.

Do you see any this file: /etc/udev/rules.d/99-flirc.rules

I'll have some bug fixes posted shortly.

An update will be posted here hopefully on Monday: If you couldn't live without the remote, download the one from the website, it is 0.9.993, you'll need to clear your configuration and start again. I'm sorry for this.

Perfect, thank you. I see the issue. It's a bug with the latest release candidate. You may need to delete the app and reset the remote and start over again (With the current PUBLIC beta or the website 0.9.993). Or, if you wait until monday, we can push a new release candidate to have this fixed.

Hello Jason Correct, Harmony to turn everything Off then the Skip 1s to run Activity 1 where the Marantz AVR turns On and then Off. It may be getting Late here, however, there is no File / About in the SkipApp, that I can find, however, I clicked on the 3 Vertical Dots / About and took a Screenshot as it is not possible to Cut and Paste the Information in Windows 11, hopefully that is the Information that you meant. The Remote Firmware is Version 4.13.11.0. I am now going to Bed so if you Reply I will get your Message Tomorrow. Thanks in advance Kevin Living Room.skip

So this is two button presses, correct ? First harmony, then the second one is the skip 1s pressed once, correct? Can you do me another favor. In the skipapp, can you go to file->About, copy and paste that text here. Also, go to remote manager, and save your configuraiton, and post it here, as shown here: Can you also tell me what firmware version of the remote you see? Same screenshot as above. Thanks for the info. I'll figure it out

Hello Jason Thanks for the Reply. I have attached the requested Screenshots. Also, be aware that I have tried the 'Power Toggle' too, for both 'Power Up' and 'Power Down' with the same results. Thanks in advance Kevin

Thank you. Can you also attach a picture of the Power button on your remote that's the problem. Both power-on/off toggles at the bottom. Similar to the attached, (but for both Up/Down.

Hello Jason Thanks for the Reply. The AVR is the Device being Turned On and Off, not the TV, just for clarification. I have attached the Log to this Message. I think I may have misunderstood your Instructions, if that is so then Please let me know. The First Block is from the Harmony Elie Remote which I used to Turn everything Off, the Rest is from the Skip 1s where I used the Activity and the AVR switched On and then Off. Thanks Kevin my_flirc_log.txt

A script is supposed to install udev rules and restart the app. Sometimes this requires a hotplug. But I need to figure out why it didn't work. Will follow-up when I get to the office.

Can you grab your Flirc USB, Pop it in the computer. Open Up the Flirc USB pairing application. Go to File->Advanced, enable IR debugging. Press once the SKIP Remote Power button in question that is turning off and on the TV. Wait a good five seconds. Grab the other remote, and Press the Power button once. Let go for 5 Seconds, press it again. Copy and paste the text in here. Let's get it fixed.

Hello Jason I am having quite a few issues that I am unable to solve. I have Two Activities, 'Home Theatre PC' and 'Watch TV'. To keep things less complicated I will be using 'Home Theatre PC' in this example but Issue exists in the 'Watch TV' Activity too. I have the following Devices: LG 49SK8500PLA - Added as LG Type 1 TV Marantz NR1609 AVR - Added as NR/SR Series Main Zone, I have tried Essential Commands Only and also All Commands. Flirc - Added as Flirc (Plex), I use Plex HTPC. To have a Clean Start, I Turn Off the TV and Marantz AVR Manually, the PC stays On 24/7. When I Press 'A' on the Skip 1s Remote followed by the 'Power' Button, the TV Turns On, then the Marantz AVR Turns On and Immediately Turns Off. I have checked the Button Timings and Repeat is Set at 1. I would try Learning the Original Marantz Remote for the NR1609 but the Remote Learning feature does not work which I reported back in March. The Remote Learning will Learn the First, or sometimes the Second, Button but it will not progress any further so Learning a Full Remote is not possible. Any Help in solving these Issues would be appreciated as, unfortunately, the Skip 1s Remote is of no use to me as it is currently. Thanks in advance Kevin

To anyone else having this same issue, the solution here was to run the AppImage as root. I feel dumb but that didn't even occur to me.

I wanted it to work, trying both Windows and Linux, GUI and CLI, and 2 different remotes. I am happy with the results but not pleased with the effort, and lack of support, to get there. I posted my results here on the forum with a link to detailed documentation on how to set things up. It may help others to use the CLI. The GUI cannot do macros to emulate a keyboard for a software music player. In your case, I suspect you have a faulty device, but it may be too late for you to try again?

Glad you got it working in the end. For the sake of future visitors, do you remember how you managed to fix it?

The shop in the Netherlands where I purchased it.

Where did you initiate an RMA?

You were lucky that Jason responded so quickly. It took 3 weeks before I got a response via email and equally as long to join the forum because it did not send the confirmation email. Through trial and error, and without support, I managed to get mine working (running on Win 11 Dell laptop and also Ubuntu 24.04 on Pi5. I used the CLI because I was using macros. Hence my user name! When the Flirc USB works, it does a good job. But I can understand people's frustration when it does not work and there is no support. Unfortunately, this has been going on for a long time, so buy with your eyes open and be prepared to experiment without support...

There are 2 IR protocols, NEC used by usually non European manufacturers and Philips used mainly by, but not all, European manufacturers. If you use a Philips remote, it alternates between 2 codes. That may be the reason why it works every other remote command...

i'm using a oneforall remote and experience the same issue, we're in 2025. i have the same issue. this is not fixed yet ? :( Flirc GUI Version v3.27.16 Operating System: Windows *** Device Disconnected *** *** Device Connected *** Firmware Version: v4.10.5 SKU: Flirc 2.0 [dori]

This is for advanced users looking to use an IR remote with a number of software music players. It uses the CLI (command line interface) to program macros to emulate keyboard commands of the music players e.g. LMS, MPD, Roon, JRiver etc. While the focus is on Linux, the same approach should work with Windows and MacOS. https://community.snakeoil-os.net/t/add-ir-remote-control-using-flirc-usb/120

Hello! I need help as I am extremely frustrated. When I bought my Skip 1S Universal Remote Control, I could connect it to my Linux machines just fine, and was able to program them. However, when I recently got a new TV and would have liked to reprogram the remote, I cannot get the AppImage to see that my remote is connected on either of my Linux Mint machines. I am using v. 0.9.993 of the AppImage on Linux Mint Xia on both computers. It simply doesn't see the remote. I have tried uninstalling Steam as some of the other forum topics have suggested, yet it worked with Steam installed before. Please help.

I’ve initiated an RMA request for the device. My Streacom case was sacrificed so I could use its SE and at least that unit works like it should. On a personal note @jason, people pay hard earned money for your products, you can’t just leave them hanging like this without support. It’s not just me, most other forum threads go unresolved. Stand by your product or pull it off the market please.

I just purchased a Hisense QD6 and cannot seems to get any of the "code groups" to work with the Skip1s. Any suggestions?
