Hello Jason Thanks for the Reply and the information. Kevin

Indefinitely. I think we have at least a year before it moves to a release version. Feel free to try the latest with all the features outlined here: https://forum.flirc.tv/index.php?/topic/21528-skipapp-09996-rc-cloud-sync-mobile-support/ You can always revert back to the beta.

Hello Jason Thanks for the Reply. For how long should I leave it on Beta? Kevin

Can you post a link to your repo?

You should change it to 'beta' for now.

Hello Jason I was not able to Update at all as I just had the Black Window. I have Installed the Version that you Linked to and it seems to be working again. Should I leave the Setting as 'Release' ? Thanks Kevin

Sorry, I forgot we haven't labeled the public version as release yet. You should be on Beta. RC is untested and unreleased, but is possible for release. Did you update to the latest release candidate, and did it work? If not, try the public version: https://update.flirc.tv/skipapp/beta/0.9.995/SkipApp-0.9.995.10457-Beta-x64.msix?token=skipAppUpdate

Hello Jason Thanks for the Reply. I just checked and it is setup for RC Builds, not Beta. Thanks in advance Kevin

You are using a beta build. Did you check the beta box in settings? I'm about to post an update on that channel.

Awesome, great feedback and great job taking all those notes. Yes, it's around ~2.4V because the batteries are in series and that's about the cutoff for the microprocessor to run at it's frequency. Thanks so much.

Hello lads, this is my final update. After using the remote for months and months, it finally died last month (sorry been busy) at a voltage of 1.230V. So from October 19 to start of June, let's just say June 1, that is 7 and a half months! HOLY SHIT WE HAVE OUT SOLUTION. Going from the awful 1-3 battery life to 7 and a half months on rechargeable batteries is amazing. It also seems the cutoff voltage is around 1.230V (again, would like to hear from Jason the exact amount). I will mark the steps above as the solution for what fixed it, but I am very glad to have found a fix for my remote. Hopefully this helps someone someday!

Hello Jason I Hope you are Well. Since everything has been working well I have not Opened the Skip 1s App for a while, however, I had a need to Open it and I have a Problem. When I Open the App it says that there is an Update but all I see is a Black Square in the Middle of the Screen, I have attached a Screenshot. I have no idea what Version I am on as, if I Close the Black Window and go yo About, in the Bottom Left all that is shown is another Black WIndow. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance Kevin

Hi Jason - I sent you a PM just after you posted this, but have still to hear back from you. Are you around?

SkipApp-0.9.996-RCThis is a fairly large update with over a year of under-the-hood changes. A lot was rewritten as this is now a truly cross-platform application running on Linux, Mac, Windows, Android, and iOS. iOS has limitations due to the inability to communicate with USB devices and is currently still private testing. Cloud conflict resolution needs improvements. Currently, when a conflict is detected, you need to choose which configuration to keep. We will improve on this later, as well as show a visual difference between the two. What's to ComeReact Native Fabric Support! One of the biggest time wasters is Windows. We are constantly working on problems that Microsoft throws at us, despite React Native Desktop being led by the team at Microsoft. We report bugs, provide feedback, and constantly stay in the loop. Ever since they released React Native Desktop for Windows, they made the poor decision to sandbox the app. This has meant that our app doesn't have ordinary privileges and is sometimes even prevented from communicating with our own remote control due to Logitech or Steam drivers they bundled with Windows. We are constantly updating our 'driver' utility so that the skip app will work with our own remote. What a gigantic waste of time this has been. Furthermore, I've had a dream to be able to configure the FLIRC USB inside this same app, as well as bring new features to that device. But due to this limitation, this was not something I would ever even consider. Bringing us to about a week ago, Microsoft has finally released a version that includes Fabric with critical bugs fixed that we reported. Not only are we seeing a leap in performance, but this removes the sandbox requirement. We already have a version up and running with hidapi. Expect 0.9.996 -> 0.9.997 to be the upgrade to Fabric, including bug fixes, visual improvements, and minor details. We are already have something working. From there, I'd like to build a community portal into the app that shows various remotes that others have learned, as well as bring my decoding library back into the GUI and not rely on external servers anymore. I'll also include some firmware updates to fix some minor grievances. Please feel free to throw in requests. Dark ModeWe finally added a dark mode which by default will follow your system settings and of course you can turn it always on. Mobile SupportThis version has support for iOS (testflight) and Android. Below is a picture of the app running on Android. Dynamic ResolutionsWith the addition of mobile, we needed to be able to support more than two resolutions. So this version has the ability to be dynamically resized. Not all resolutions are supported, but this will improve over time as we eventually extend down into phone sizes. CleanShot 2026-07-10 at 17.49.46.mp4 Cloud SupportMobile support didn't make sense without cloud syncing. It was frustrating to set up on your PC, get your tablet, and find that none of your remotes were there, forcing you to start over. So, we needed cloud support before we considered releasing this version. This version supports Google Drive and Dropbox via their API, as well as pointing to a local folder on a cloud provider, making it work with anything that automounts, like iCloud, Microsoft Drive, Syncthing, etc. New ToggleNo more ambiguity in understanding if a feature is on/off. We changed the way toggle reflects on and off states. New SVG Remote DesignWe struggled with alignment for a long time. It seemed windows / mac / linux had differences that caused a lot of issues. So we converted the remote design into an SVG and our problems are all gone. Undo RedoWith the addition of cloud, we added undo/redo functionality as demonstrated below. undo-redo.mp4 Test ModeIt was really frustrating to constantly go back into the wizard to test a particular button, or to have to load it onto your remote, sync, and press the button you were testing. Now you can test directly in the GUI and the background flashes red to show that you are not in normal operation. The same toggle to start test mode will stop it, or simply exiting the button panel. Test Mode.mp4 ReminderPlease remember to attach your support file (Even on android), and let us know how testing goes. This bundle includes everything we would ever need to know about your system, your remote setup, your operating system, your cloud status, logs, etc. ChangelogNew – Android Application (Private Link) New – Cloud Syncing New – Dark Mode New – iOS Application New – Responsive Design New – SVG Remote Design New - Test Mode New – Undo/Redo New – Underlying RND and RN Libraries Fixed – Bugs and Stability Improvements Fixed – Connection Issues on Linux Fixed – Multiple Icon and Font Issues Fixed – Popup Menus Disappearing Linux Download Mac Download Windows Download PlayStore Link Android PlayStore Android APK

PC, yeah same years ago. Try Mac, that works.

I just updated for the first time since I started this thread, and it still seems like that soft limit is active? I can handle by editing the JSON, but just curious if you can make it work from within the GUI. Thanks!

Pleased with the Skip 1s but maybe in the next iteration coloured buttons might replace the rainbow wheel. Much faster to negotiate and short/long press configurable. Oh and maybe a more textured back, the present one is a bit too slippery for me.

I think a post of mine is gone to in the topic. I replied a couple of days ago too, and the reply is not here.

Yes, the button is switched on. I specifically wanted to test the smart switching. How can I export the config?

Good question.

This is so weird, I could have sworn I asked you for your config, but my request isn't here. Let me take a look and try and reproduce it.

Yeah, I spoke with the developer of irscrutinizer and he told me how to do it. I intend to do so soon after I get this next release out.

We're going to post a new beta to try soon. We've been hung up on some bugs. but it was a huge release. It's coming, hopefully by tomorrow. Days away.

I think the remote is old, it's hard to say. Could even be moisture. I think the best I can do is give you heavily discounted remote in exchange for this so I can take a look. You can PM me. Sorry for the delay.

It didn't trigger to download? How did you find it. Just by browsing the forums? I've actually been updating the same 'driver'. I keep finding different apps that fuck with USB on windows with no rhyme or reason. I call it a driver, but I'm just disabling all the bullshit that keeps popping up. I can not believe windows forces us into a sandbox and allows other software to disable our own hardware. We have several big updates coming. I'm hoping to post it tomorrow.
