    I've tried to assign NumPad 2 to my remote as an example using flirc_util.exe record_api 0 90 It learns the keypress from the remote, but when the key is pressed on the remote nothing is happening when testing in Calculator, Notepad etc: C:\Program Files (x86)\Flirc>flirc_util.exe settings flirc_util version 3.20.0 [3.20.0] Firmware Detected Version: v4.4.2 SKU: Flirc 2.0 [dori] Hash: 0xD60074C5

    My understanding is that there is a new, "official" FireTV profile, but it only partially works for me. On the main fireTV screen, the left, right, up, down arrows skip 2. If I click up once, it goes up twice. Once I get into some more in-depth menus, like in Hulu, it seems to work fine. This is very confounding, especially since the Flirc has worked perfectly for over a year until I got a new Vizio TV. Or at least the timing seems supspect. Any ideas? I've tried mapping left, right, up, down from every possible setting and none of them are working. If, however, I get within a few inches of the Flirc, the remote works properly, moving one item at a time. …

  4. Can Flirc SE do discrete power buttons? One button for power on (only) and a second button for power off? Instead of power toggle?

  6. Hello, when I try to map the key from the remote with a keyboard key I have following problem. When I map a new key the last key would be overwritten. I got the message "Button already exists". I can map one key only, actually.

  7. Hi, I'm trying to configure my FLIRC USB device using a Windows 10 PC. As soon as I plug the FLIRC device into the PC the up arrow starts getting pressed. Even when I uninstall the FLIRC software this still happens. When I load the FLIRC GUI I can see that the up key is being pressed. When I choose to clear the configuration it stops, but as soon as I try to reprogram the up key gets spammed again and I'm unable to move forward. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Leon.

  8. Hi, I have a weird problem with Flirc and my Logitech Harmony 350 remote. When I press a numeric key (between 0 and 9), each number could be sent one or more time. I have the following setup : Flirc firmware version 3.9.0 Flirc GUI 3.11.6 Harmony firmware to latest version, set to "Flirc Kodi" device.

I also tried 1000ms, without success Minrepeats was set to 1, I change it to 0 without success. Finally, I tried to change Flirc interkey delay, still without success. I switched between 0, 4 and 7.

    This Flirc has been in use for some time withouth problems. Today I wanted to change some settings so I installed the latest Flirc software. After running the software, it automatically tried to update the firmware on the Flirc. Seconds later it showed a message like "upgrade failed". Since then, the Flirc device is no longer recognized. The Flirc logfile is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23647032/ Note, I enabled logging only after the problem occured. I tried connecting the Flirc to several PC's (Windows 10 and 7) but on all I got the same "Please connect Flirc" message. The flirc bootloader is present in Device Manager when the Flirc is plugged in (under "libusbK USB De…

    I own a 1st gen Flirc that works great. The software I used to program it was on a Windows laptop I no longer own. I bought a 2nd gen device but every attempt I make to install the software on either of our Macs is the same. “Flirc cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Flirc works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X. Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple." Please help. My device is basically worthless and I have not gotten a response from anybody.

  11. Hi, Just got my new Flirc 2.0 and Streamcon Flirc in the mail and decided to test out the 2.0. Decided to update the firmware and after doing so it just crashes on loading: "Flirc cannot be opened because of a problem.

  13. Hi, I'm using Harmony One Remote together with Samsung D series TV and Flirc USB (connected to Raspberry PI/Kodi installation). The problem I have is that when I'm using TV profile where Samsung TV is the main device and I press UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT or OK button I can see effects of those buttons on both Samsung TV and Flirc USB (connected to Raspberry PI). The strange thing is that when I'm in Kodi profile and I use the same buttons it does not affect Samsung TV. Please advise how can I fix that. regards, Mariusz

  14. I just got my FLIRC, unpacked it, plugged it in, got the usual keyboard screen, closed that, then tried installing the latest driver from the website. But no matter what I try, the program just won't open and keeps crashing. I thought it might be a compatibility issue, since I'm on a Mac and my current OS is High Sierra. So I tried it on a different Mac that has El Capitan, but the same thing happens: the app icon bounces and then immediately closes again. The crash report says that a certain library couldn't be loaded, so I recreated the path from the report and copied the framework file in question over. That only ended up giving me another crash related to a different …

    Bug? 1st gen Flirc on Raspberry Pi 3. Bought 2014. Worked well on Pi 2. Now OSMC on PI 3. Flirc programmed on OSX 9,5 with Flirc v.1.4.4 (and its firmware). The latest v.3.1 crashes, even if it SHOULD work on OSX 9,5 and 10. problem: Used on Kodi the cursor "runs" down lists (like Arrow down), or "skips" between choices on the home screen (like Tab) on its own. Then it stops. Interacting with the programmed remote OR a keyboard, starts the running and skipping again. have tried pinning it down by exclusion, but no matter what else is attached to the Raspberry, if the flirc is present, the skipping begins like a nervous tick. Defect Flirc?

  16. EDIT: The same is happening with any mapping, not just Logitech. I am using a Logitech Harmony and a Zotac Zbox HD-ID11 running OpenElec. Previously I custom mapped the keys with my Flirc but after seeing the latest firmware and needing to change my logitech mapping anyway I opted to use your new profile. All is working well apart from unfortunately the Flirc randomly seems to be waking my HTPC back up. Most of the time pressing power off successfully puts it to sleep (as per my XBMC settings) but sometimes it either wakes straight back up, after a few minutes or at random time intervals. I have my HTPC set to automatically sleep after 15 minutes idle but some…

    Hello, My Streacom Flirc is connected using GUI 2.5.2 but the firmware is at 3.9.0 and not at 4.1.0. Using the Gui to update the firmware it says 3.9.0 is the highest. Tried also manually nothing found and the zadig tool timed out. The log says this "Error, unsupported device. Must have Flirc Gen2 enabled device and fw >= 4.1.0" I am using Windows 10 Pro, Hope you can help me with this problem. Kind regards Mark

    I'm using an old remote from a previous dvd player to control XBMC. It had been working very well, but recently has become almost useless. I bought a new battery for it, but that didn't help. In order to get XBMC to respond to a button push I press the button continuously, from 5 to 10 times. If I don't get a response from that sometimes I can just wait a few seconds and XBMC will respond. I guess this could be a system issue, but the fact that it was working well less than a month ago has me thinking that it might be an issue with Flirc. I'm using Flirc on an Dual Core Ubuntu 10.4 server running XBMC Eden standalone. I'm getting some messages in the logs and via dm…

    Hi there, Yesterday I received my two flirc receivers and rhe case. The case is awesome and 1 flirc works perfectly, but I am having troubles with the other one. After the firmware upgrade, when trying to code my remote to the volume down button, it just wonts. It recognizes the try, but he wont accept the button. Tried it on Mac, Windows and linux. Tried with 3 different remotes and everywhere theres the same problem. I am talking about the KODI controller. I even tried to bind it on the full keyboard controller and selected the "-" key and again, it just dont wants to work. The funny part is, on the kodi controller, when I bind my volume down key, after I press it, it …

    **** HIJACKING TOP POST **** READ FIRST This is Jason, I've identified the problem, we confirmed the fix, and all you need to do is make sure you're on the latest v3.3 firmware which is now live on the site. If you aren't asked to upgrade when firing up the latest v1.3.0 Flirc Graphical User Interface, then go to File->Advanced Force Firmware Upgrade. ************************************* Hi there, Just brought one of these things and let me say - my first impression is of utter disappointment. Every half hour or so (say, every 7th button press on the remote) it will get stuck and then any button pressed on the remote afterwards will just be re…

    Hello, there is a strange bug with the volume +/- buttons in Win10 , all works fine under Libreelec 8. Remote is Harmony 350 and V2 Flirc. Standard Flirc/Kodi setup in MyHarmony. When i try to map the volume buttons in Win10 GUI (latest firmware) under Kodi remote both of +/- are responding as volume up, green blink on volume up for both buttons. Win Kodi is also responding in same manner with volume up on both buttons. On same PC I have dualboot with Libreelec and without changing any config the +/- volume buttons works fine in Kodi under LE8. As the fault is clearly visible in latest Flirc GUI i assume it has to with the windows driver. How to proceed? / Freelance
