Hola! Thought I would start this thread in case anyone come across any news stories of people using Flirc and/or reviews of it. Please post if you stumble across anything. Pleasant regards, Chris!

Ok so I and many people have had this issue where we install Kodi via Windows, the problem resides in active window for the remote to work with kodi at all and the same goes for other OS as well, to bypass this I used VMware and installed the newest Ubuntu which I have only dedicated to running Kodi, now in removable devices for vmware flirc shows up and says disconnect from host connect to here and thus I select that, I used flirc gui to program the remote I want to use. Now everything is all good I have dual monitor setup with my vmware running in one monitor and my windows 11 on another, the remote works flawlessly this way with kodi no matter what i do not have to se…

I vibecoded a docker container that hosts a web dashboard and mqtt-bridge Github: https://github.com/Bluscream/flirc-bridge?tab=readme-ov-file#flirc-bridge Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/bluscream1/flirc-bridge/tags

The Flirc-Approach is great, due to its OS-independency - Just assign Key-Strokes to IR-Commands and it will smoothly behave like a connected keyboard. But ... For using my HTPC I was looking for are more individual solution: IR-Codes should result in different Key-Strokes depending on the currently focused Windows-App. This requirement is somewhat "off topic" for Flirc if you have really understood the Flirc-Approach - Nevertheless, I wanted to use Flirc for this setup, because I think Flirc is a high-quality IR-Receiver with good support and long-term availability. So, I ended up in creating a simple Windows-App (Visual-Studio-based): It will read your customiz…

I'm happy with the Flirc so far, but I found the initial set up a bit un-intuitive - so I thought I would document how I got this running on Mint Linux. Ultimately, I want to record all the codes from the huge remote that came with my screen, mount the Flirc near the IR receiver of the screen on a USB extension cable, and then use my PC as the primary control for the screen (transmitting IR via the Flirc dongle with scripts). At that point, I can put the remote in a drawer somewhere, so it's not cluttering up my space. I'm not quite there yet, but I think it's just a matter of learning how to decode the recorded codes and how to feed them to`sendir`. My process …

I created Flirc integration plugin for HomeSeer. It can learn IR commands from any remote and create HS devices automatically for the learned command - to trigger HomeSeer events (including long / double press). https://forums.homeseer.com/forum/hs4-products/hs4-plugins/audio-video-infrared-plug-ins-aa/ak-flirc-alexbk66/1706867-ak-flirc-plugin-introduction-configuration?p=1706872#post1706872

Hi, I configured Flirc to control the Sunrise TV Box UHD (Swiss internet provider). This box is manufactured by Sagemcom (DIW384 UHD) and is controlled by a bluetooth remote.

Hi all, Wanted some info if someone can help me i have a computer monitor (dell s2719h) and a fire tv stick which i connect to it through hdmi ,all good till now ,everything is working ok except 2 things.. i can’t control the volume and turn on/off the fire stick using the remote ,everything else is working without a problem. So.. my question is.. if i attach the flirc usb to the fire stick is possible to control the volume and turn on/of the fire stick using the fire remote ? I was thinking that is not working now because the monitor/fire stick doesn’t have ir .. so if i add the flirc to fire stick maybe will work ?! Any ideas ? Has someone tryed it ? …

Hi all Not the clearest of photos but just thought I'd show the completion of a recent HTPC build of mine. I wanted to have the functionality of fully shutting down (S5) / powering back up which only the FLIRC-SE offers. I wanted a large chassis (Silverstone GD08), bigger than anything Streacom could offer, which naturally causes complications to mounting a FLIRC-SE. Sorry about image quality but as you can see, I've mounted the unit by attaching it to a drive bar door in the top right. 3 holes drilled, one for the IR sensor (will cover with tinted film) and two for the mounting bolts (used black plastic M3 bolts)

I've been looking for a one remote solution for my Home Theater for a while. I was pleased to discover Flirc and the many glowing reviews and testimonials using it with Fire TV. I have a basic HT system consisting of a Sony receiver, Westinghouse TV and Fire TV.... so obviously I couldn't use just one remote. I really haven't seen any post about using Flirc with an older Harmony like mine, the Harmony 659.. However my experience has been flawless. It has been out of the box perfect. Everything works for me, no issues between my first gen Fire TV and my Flirc paired with my Harmony. All commands work perfectly in the native interface, Netflix/apps, and Kodi. Best $23 USD I…

http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B011TEA0VE?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01 I've been pretty happy with this. All of the buttons are mapped. Figured I'd share if someone wants to save themselves some time (3Minutes) programming it themselves. XB1_Kodi_Kevo.fcfg

Just a note to let Flirc users know that we have now added support for Flirc to our AnalysIR software application. With this you can decode, analyse, reverse engineer IR signals & much much more. Details along with a video tutorial on how to start using your Flirc with AnalysIR can be viewed in this post. The interface is achieved via the existing Flirc GUI, and we have only tested with the newer Flirc. We have not tested with the original Flirc as we have only the newer one available for testing.

I have an Xbox One with Kinect and I have got it to control my FireTV which has Kodi installed on it. I looked on the forum before buying to see if anyone had this working but I couldn't find anything so I decided to buy and try. ## I can only get 7 command working since when the XBone only sends out IR on 7 commands to control your cable box when in TV app. Other commands like ONEguide don't send IR. If there are more let me know but I could only get 7 commands### Since I didn't have a remote I had to tell the XBone that I had a cable box so that it will send those IR commands out when using voice commands. I picked COX and any type of model. I don't belie…

I thought i'd drop you a quick line to thank you for a great product. I have a MacBook Pro Retina which I use daily for presentations and was mightily pee'd off when Apple decided to remove the infrared. Yes, I can still use Keynote remotely through my phone but holding a small brick looks nowhere near as good as the sleek silver Apple remote. I've been quietly sulking for the past year until I finally came across your wonderful little product. It arrived today, took me two minutes to get it to work, and I'm still smiling a few hours later. There's doubtless a small army of unfulfilled MBP retina users out there who are as sad and pathetic as I once was. Tak…

So I am determined to control my PS4 and its Apps (Netflix, Hulu etc.) from my "universal" Harmony remote. I have everything -almost- working. The weak link seems to be the Flirc which is sending out keystrokes at random times and stopping movies etc. from playing. I use a IR blaster that from the Harmony Hub to the Flirc so that there is no chance of IR interference. My next step is to put a power filter on the setup to hopefully eliminate the flaky behaviour of the Flirc. Anyone else trying to control their PS4?

I just want to express my positive feedback on the Flirc SE (Streacom Edition), wow it just works! After reading the posts of Jason (his follow up in cases there are bugs in a release) I was very confident about the product and bought it this weekend. After adding my Xbox one remote I am now a very happy user / customer. So thanks and keep up the good work! Regards, Mark

Hi, i just wanted to say thank you. Got my flirc yesterday for my streacom htpc and i think it is awesome, but i only had some hours to play with it until now. Before i start questioning i'm reading through the forum, new IR-Device and new remote (harmony touch) is damn confusing. My first impression is that this is an XBMC thing, good for me using mediaportal. :( I'm switching over from the libCEC adapter because there are some features missing like startig programs and powering on both, tv and pc). That's it! :D Will head over again when done with the setup or completly distracted. ;) greetz loki

First, let me say that FLIRC is awesome and it is the linchpin to my entire XBMC setup (for obvious reasons). Great job Jason! I couldn't be happier. About my setup: I wanted to setup the ultimate home theater pc in my living room. My main requirements are to stream my local videos, pictures, and music AND play PC games in addition to Playstation, Playstation 2, and Wii games all on the same machine. After looking over various options, I decided to purchase the Alienware X51 i7 (8 CPUs) /8Gb/1TB with the AMD Radeon R9 270 graphics card. This was largely due to it's small form factor and performance specs, and after receiving it, I can say it meets all my nee…

I recently bought an Xbox One, and one of the neat things it can do is control your whole home theatre by voice command. It uses the Kinect as an IR blaster, and it can turn on and control your AV receiver, TV (or projector in my case), and TV set top box. You can even turn the whole shebang on and off by saying "Xbox On" or "Xbox Turn Off". It lets you change channels with your voice, and even gives you a really nice schedule program grid for watching TV, which is something my OTA STB (on the far left of the photo) doesn't do. Unfortunately, there's one thing it can't do, which is change the inputs on anything, or control an HDMI switch. As you can see in the previ…

Hello Jason, I just had to say thank you very much for a great product. Got the flirc the other day plugged it into my windows 7 laptop and programmed it as a full keyboard. Man was that easy I use it for xbmc and windows media center it works like a charm. I have it plugged into a belkin powered USB hub plugged into my htpc using one of the USB ports,I then used the next USB port for my Logitech k400 wireless keyboard and low and behold I can use them at the same time that's incredible. So my wife can use the lg remote that came with the tv and we can use the keyboard when we want to surf the web I love it. Showed my setup to a couple of friends last nite and they wer…

In case anybody is searching for a usb-extender to place the flirc-device next to his hi-fi-devices I recommend the Logitech USB-Extender wich comes with many of their keyboards and mice. Maybe you recently purchened a Logitech device and still got the extender in the packing, like I did. :) The benefit of this extender is the foot wich holds the flirc-device slightly up and gives it a good stand http://www.logitech.com/en-gb/349/4872 (search for "PN 993-000293")

Ok, I am at first base with this. This is the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJHG2K8NQas These are the scripts including the keyboard.xml https://www.dropbox....Z/XBMCEyeTV.zip Features that I have added to the remote are: 1. Screenshots (automatically upload to photo stream) 2. Blacklight 3. Growl notifications toggle (incomplete) and a few more custom app controls as you can see... PS: I dont mean to post such a large image but I cant seem to resize it here.

This was the easiest to use out of the box experience of any product I have ever purchased. I opened it and plugged it into my Windows 8.1 system. Went to the web site, downloaded and ran the software. When it finished installing, I browsed through the various controllers, choose the Windows Media Center, selected several buttons and pressed the same button on my remote. After configuring about 8 different buttons, I unplugged it from my system and plugged it into my new RASPLEX box and booted. As soon as the RASPLEX came up to the main screen the remote was working. Start to finish, less than 10 minutes. I wish all products worked this well straight out of the box…

Hi Everyone, Here is my gear! thanks ;) Moutaz
