Remote Controls

I'm using a Logitech Harmony 950 remote control with a Flirc Second Generation USB Receiver to control Kodi v21.2 on a Mac Mini 2018. All functions work correctly, but there is a noticeable lag—for example, when pressing a direction key, the image on the screen responds with about a half-second delay. I have tried many settings in the MyHarmony software, including "Input Delay," "Inter-key Delay," and repeated key press options, but nothing has helped. In the MyHarmony software, I selected the vendor "Flirc" with the model "Kodi," while in the Flirc software, I chose "Full Keyboard." I also updated the Harmony 950 to the latest available firmware: version 4…

So, I have a logitech USB receiver in my mini PC and I have the flirc USB receiver in my mini PC. I have installed all softare on Mint linux and the firc interface comes up. I navigate it with the logitech keyboard and attempt to program a hisense remote. None of the keys (arrows, enter, back) take. Not sure if there is an issue between the IR receivers but the hisense remote still functions when I am using the logitech mouse.

How do I program the middle button of my traditional white Apple remote control to act as a play/pause button for watching video on VLC? Neither the "Minimalist" nor the "Media Keys" Controllers allows me to do this, nor can I find anything in the VLC preferences that helps. Seems like this should be a pretty straightforward thing to program. Thank you!

Yesterdag at a thriftstore i bought a 80's Grundig remote and i was hoping to get it working with my Flirc. However, when i try and program the seconden button i get the 'button already exists' error. Can someone please help me with this little project?

I have a remote for my Pioneer Inno XM radio that I want to capture all the keys from and use the sendir to control the device from the computer. One glaring issue, the remote sends two different types of scan codes, alternating between button presses. This was pressing the Up button 4 times. If I use any one of the codes and send them back with sendir, it works once but stops responding until I use the actual remote with it again. I think it's expecting on the device side to see an alternating pattern of RC5 and unknown, and rejects the commands completely if it doesn't. How would I go about sending a single keypress either via flirc_util sendir/sdk ir example …

Hi everyone, I’d like to know if it’s possible to connect a regular remote to the Xiaomi Box S using Flirc. Can I use any of the default controllers available in the app, or do I need to add anything extra? Maybe anyone has a configuration that can share, so I can map my remote. Thanks for the help!

FLIRC app says "Button Recorded" for all buttons, but most buttons don't work after plugging the FLIRC into my Nvidia Sheild. What could be the issue?

I am trying to configure the Spectrum Guide Remote (Charter Spectrum URC1160) with Flirc Fire TV Edition and it seems like I have to set each button a large number of times. I read this part of the troubleshooting section which says to do each button twice for remotes with alternating patterns for every successive button press, but this issue I'm facing is different. I think depending on the distance and angle, there are different IR codes for each button. This doesn't happen with a different Sony Universal remote. I eventually run into the "No more space for new buttons" problem trying to save the same buttons multiple times because of this and still can't use the remote…

I'm hosting a homeserver running with ubuntu, now i'm also running the Plex HTPC application on it and tried to control it with my Harmony HUB and Flirc, so i followed the instructions and everything is set up, the receiver is displayed and i'm also able to bind a remote key as a keyboard key. But what puzzles me, when i open the terminal, and press the bound remote button for mapped key "a", no "a" is printed in the terminal. Everytime i set up button "a" and bind it to the same remote control button, ther HUI says "recording successful" any hints on how to solve this issue? When i open the Log and do log the IR input, i can see that commands are recognized, but i cant s…

Hello, Is it possible to edit the configuration file and just load the codes from e.g. https://files.remotecentral.com/ rather than learning each code? If so, what should be the format of the code (the hex codes, such as here: https://www.remotecentral.com/cgi-bin/codes/marantz/receiver_0/ ? (I plan to use Flirc together with an ethernet-IR bridge, so I don't really have a remote to learn from. At the same time, I cannot use profiles as I want the numpad keys. I could try the learing procedure using the bridge as transmitter, but that would take a lot of time as I would need to enter the codes one by one in the transmitter) Thanks! Jörg

I have a Universal CLIKR-5: UR5U-8820L remote from Spectrum. When trying to record keys with Flirc v2 and the latest program version, it seems like the buttons can have an endless amount of different IR codes that vary on each press. I've seen this remote being discussed here before, but there hasn't been any real resolve yet.

Hi - I'm in the UK in the disability access arena in the NHS. To help us get around increasing numbers of TVs and digital TV boxes that use Bluetooth, we are investigating using USB keyboards plugged straight into the TV. Then using the keyboard keys accessing all the functions. This seems to work on many devices, but Virgin 360 and also Guide does not seem to work/be accessible. We have mechanisms to send IR codes for keyboard presses for instance using the Pretorian IR Keyboard and Mouse. I was wondering if anyone has some experience with keyboards as an access method to TVs etc? Many thanks, Neil Gregory - Lead Clinical Scientist

I can't seem to get mine to connect or pair with each other, I followed the instructions online for it. Does the Flirc need to be next to the hub or an IR blaster to communicate? It's currently on the back of my HTPC

Hi, I still got the Inteset v422-2 and just recently got the Flirc. I'm intending to use with Plex HTPC. Mapping using Kodi controller and most of the functions work except the Rewind, Fastforward, Next, Previous, Mute and Subtitles. Any advice on how to go about this? + is there a way to map the windows start key to the remote?

When PC (Kodi system) is connected to my TV (Panasonic over HDMI2) remote responds very slowly with very many misses. After several actions on the keys, remote control no longer responds at all. If the same PC (Kodi system) is pluged to another monitor, then the remote works perfectly (same HDMI2 port) without any lag. Flirc V2 (last firmware) Remote : One for all URC7935

I bought Flirc USB v.2 recently. I cannot make flirc software make it to work with Inteset remote 422-4. Flirc software records all button presses from Kodi c ontroller successfully but non of the button works. On Inteset I set these codes: Flirc 05600 05602 05603 05604 IRe-TV Kodi 02000 IRe-TV Media Center 01272 Microsoft 04000 01272 02049 01805 Unfortunately flirc software recorded buttons successfully but nothing works. Where am I doing wrong? Thanks

I just purchased Flirc USB and updated the firmware. I am trying to set up a Harmony remote for Kodi or any media player. My harmony hub is near the PC running Kodi with Flirc inserted in the USB port. Here is what I did so far. On Harmony App 1. Create a new device, enter manufacturer=Flirc, device name=Windows Media Center 2. Created a new activity named Play Kodi When I tried going into Kodi, the following buttons didn't work, and I opened the Flirc UI, selected WMC, and checked the Harmony with the remote displayed on UI. 1. Play/Pause/OK - I tried erasing and reconfiguring these Harmony buttons using the Flirc UI, but every time they get…

I was trying to get a button on my remote working, and now things that used to work, don't. First, is there any way to tell what key combinations are configured? I've included my log file in case it will tell you something. flirc_log.txt

Hi All, I just purchased a Firestick FLIRC and it is working as I expected. I've been unable to come up with the HID code for the TV button. I tried a number of suggestions on the web programming them with the command line tools with suggestions I found on the web. None work. Does anyone have this information? Thanx

Hi, I want to get a 2013 Magic Remote because the layout is perfect for what I want, but I'm aware that getting it to work is less than intuitive. If I'm just getting a Magic Remote and don't have an LG TV, will I still be able to use it with my Flirc and would anyone be willing to help me through it? I haven't bought the remote yet, I thought it would be sensible to do my due diligence first. Cheers

Have Kodi as user on Windows running thru Aster Multiseat, the Flirc USB (latest firmware) is on a 2 metre USB extension cable After about 15 mins, sometimes longer maybe up to 30 mins, Kodi stops responding to the remote. Even key presses are not getting logged by Kodi anymore while other events show up in the log and Kodi continues doing whatever it was doing at the time like playing TV If I move a mouse the remote starts working again for some 15 mins or so before stopping working again. I've disabled all power management on the USB slots Does anyone have an idea what is happening and how to solve it? This was all working fine before I had to r…

I am trying to use my Harmony One remote to control my Nvidia Shield 2nd Gen device via Flirc In the Harmony One I used the Media Center PC, Flirc, Shield template for the IR commands. I am using the Invidia Shield Gen 2 controller in the Flirc software. I have sucessfully programmed all of the buttons except the "Back" button. The Harmony unit uses the "Back" command from the available command list, but when pushed it turns off the Nvidia Shield and my Samsung TV. I also tried the "Return" command but to no avail. This is frustrating because all of the other buttons work fine.

Hello. Is not available Movistar TV decoder (in Spain)? I have not found it...

I recently switched from a HTPC to an nVidia shield, and purchased a FLIRC for controlling it with my URC Mx-780. The remote had worked flawlessly on my HTPC, which had a separate RF module. With the new system the remote input is very sluggish, to the point of being unusable. Additionally, any quick presses (e.g. doing a double press of one of the direction keys, etc) will not register at all. The debug window gives the constant error of "too many edges" with any quick key press. I have turned down the strength of the IR blaster to its lowest setting, but it still seems to occur. I have wrapped the blaster and the FLIRC window in opaque tape, and that hasn't helped…

I've got a Gen2 Flirc and tried to pair with my Sony TV's (KD-49XH8096) remote but nothing happen, no signal. The debug shows nothing. The pairing process with the Yamaha amplifier's remote is successful. Any idea? Thanks.
