How To

The download links do not work, and I can not find the link anywhere

Background Info: Note: You will need a second computer for this guide. I'm using Fedora for my second computer but any linux distro should work. These steps also assume both machines are amd64. The basic idea is you only need two files for flirc_util to run on LibreELEC: - flirc_util - libhidapi-hidraw.so.0 So we're going to put them on there and update the environment so it'll run. Step 1: Download Flirc files Open up terminal on your second computer: mkdir ~/tmp && cd ~/tmp wget http://apt.flirc.tv/arch/x86_64/flirc.latest.x86_64.tar.gz tar -xzf flirc*.tar.gz ~/tmp/Flirc-*/FlircApp-*.AppImage --appimage-extract…

I have read and read and read and I am getting frustrated now. I am new to linux, so please bear that in mind, but I have followed one thread after another trying to install this damn thing and it's one roadblock after another. First and foremost, the repo DOES NOT EXIST! http://apt.flirc.tv/arch/x64 is not there. Yet ALL of the instuctionals I can find tell you to get your stuff from there. The i386 version is there, but I can't use that one. Won't let me. I have also tried to go to a folder which IS there, under http://apt.flirc.tv/arch/x86_64/ however, there is no binary folder. I downloaded the tar.gz file and tried to do it locally but all i get are er…

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 would like to record on my remote the keys from a numpad (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9). This is easy, thanks to Flirc .. but ... This is to emulate a mouse on my PC and the key emulated must be regarded not as a number, but as a key from the numpad. More : i dont know the difference between the two, a number as "4" does not work. The key "4" of the numpad works fine. If someone knows how to do ... Regards

There are some tools that allow you to use hotkeys for mouse-movement, these can be used with Flirc! I tried the following tools: https://github.com/rvaiya/warpd https://github.com/EsportToys/TPMouse warpd on Windows misses some features (commandline parameters do not work, so you cannot reassign the hotkeys), but other than that it works perfectly. Grid mode is very useful in the case where the remote does not send repeat keys fast enough. I've repurposed an MCE remote and use the cursor keys for mouse movement and the numpad for the grid movement: one key on the remote to enable/disable warpd, one key to enable/disable grid mode; the keys 1379 are us…

I don't have the small USB port on my Windows 11 Laptop, just the normal size USB. The cable in the box just has the small USB connectors on both ends. I know it's a dumb question, but I could really use the help. Do I need some sort of interface between the laptop and the small connector to get it to connect?

I’m using a windows 11 HTPC, flirc usb, Sofabaton U1 remote. I’ve set up the Sofabaton for Kodi as well as the Flirc usb Kodi configuration to run Plex HTPC. It’s working perfectly. I created a keyboard shortcut in windows to open Plex…ctrl + alt + p…how do I add this to the configuration on the Flirc usb?

Hi everyone, I'm currently having my PC as a server to stream my movies. My ideal setup is to let the computer running (monitor off) and watch movies through my phone. Whenever I'm finished, I'd like to remotely put it to sleep and wake it up when it's movies time again. So naturally, I bought a Flirc. Everything works amazingly as expected, including waking up the PC with just one press of a button on the remote when it's sleeping (Wake button on Full Keyboard). However, one issue that I haven't quite managed to get it working is to put the PC to sleep with the same button (or different one). I've been searching around the forum but things seem rather confusing…

Hi there, Can someone please help me with troubleshouting my setup? I'm trying to use a RasberryPI 5 (running on PI OS) and Flirc USB V2 to send ir-signals using the flirc_util sendir command.

I have an Nvidia Shield 2017 model, and I am successfully using a recent version Flirc with my programmable remote for most of the functionality. My remote is android software running on a tablet. I have spent quite a bit of time searching for an answer to this, and I'll apologize in advance if I have missed a conclusive answer. There has been quite a bit of discussion of this issue, but I haven't found a solution for me. I do have the Android TV app on my phone that makes it easy to access the missing functionality, but my goal, as always, is to do everything with one remote. Is there any way to make the Flirc send a long key press to the Shield? In particular, acce…

Use this guide to derive the HID page and key code of an HID event device or original remote connected e.g. via USB, I2C or Bluetooth to a Linux PC, or to verify that your Flirc actually sends the events you expect. HID page and key code can be grabbed under Linux following these steps: 1. Find the event devices associated with your HID devices using "udevadm info -a <device>" with <device> walking through /dev/input/event*. There might be multiple devices for a single hardware component, e.g. for a Harmony Hub there is one for HID mouse events, one for HID keyboard events, one for HID consumer control events, one for HID system control events, ... …

Hello! I am experiencing a very weird problem with my Flirc USB on an HTPC. I don't know when it started exactly. I have used the Flirc USB with my Logitech Harmony Elite to control my HTPC for few years without any problems. But at someday the HTPC started reacting to Push-/or Mobile messages on our iPhones (wife's and mine's) with actions like closing the MPC-Player or playback the next file in the folder, changing Browser tabs. I have ignored it for few months, but I was able to track down the problem. An incoming push-message on iOS generates a ctrl+page-up / or ctrl+page signal, which controls the computer. As you can imagine e.…

Hi, I just installed a new Flirc USB IR receiver on a new HTPC running Windows 11. It will replace an older less powerful HTPC. The old system had IR built in, but I built the new one and have to add the IR functionality. I use a great programmable remote that most of you probably never heard of, but it can transmit codes for all the keys on a Windows MCE IR keyboard. I use a lot of them, so need the Flirc to handle that. I was hoping I would be OK with the apparently built-in Microsoft WMC Profile, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I actually have one of the old Microsoft Windows MCE IR keyboards that works perfectly. So, I am trying to use that to map all its …

Hi, this is a bit of a joke, the product's motto "It just works". I have opened half a dozen pages, each of which give different installation instructions for Linux, and none of them seem to work.

Hi, I have managed to get my remote working with bluestacks which is an android emulator for windows. I disabled virtual keyboard in the software android settings to enable the physical keyboard. However, when navigating the only way to select a video on youtube is by left clicking on the mouse. AFAIK no other key will allow it to be selected. Navigation does work with up down left right. Since windows allows you to use mouse keys, I could use numpad 5 as a physical left mouse click. However the flirc software's full keyboard only seems to show 84 keys and not the full 104 keys on a full keyboard with numpad. Does anyone have a solution? -Jeremy

Hi folks, This is more of a How to for the new Skip 1S, but there is a bit of Flirc USB info in here too...(Dear Moderators - Apologies in advance - I also posted here the same information - feel free to move my post to a more suitable location if necessary) I received my nice new Flirc Skip 1S remotes yesterday and excitedly got down to setting them up on my ‘most straight forward’ configuration (A TV and a Kodi Box). An hour later, I was stumped. After a few searches on the forums, I didn’t find any obvious fixes, so I spent a rainy Saturday figuring this out for the community. Here are my conclusions and also a few Bug Fix requests for the Flirc team at …

I have a FlircSE and I am trying to use it with a special board requiring for the power on/ power off that the power command is held for 2s (power button has to be pressed for 2s - this works well with pass through). How can I define the power on power off via the FlircSE (IR command) to be 2s?

I have 2017 and 2021 shields , I have both gen1 and gen2 Flirc's and I use flirc with various random remotes . Obviously the shield remote doesn't have a mute a dedicated button ( you have to press two buttons simultaneously )and consequently neither do iether of the shield options in the Controller section of Flirc set up. Is there any work around to map a button for mute for the shield ?

I'm trying to set up play/pause for a Nvidia Shield Pro (2019) with my Harmony 650. Play/pause is one button on the Shield, but two buttons on the Harmony remote. I could just use the play or pause button, but it's not a clean solution and confusing for other people using the remote. How can I do this?
