How To

So it took me forever to figure out how to wake and suspend Kodi using Flirc Usb and Logitech Harmony Hub and Alexa. These are not step by step instructions but you can google how to do it. 1. In Kodi, install the keymapper addon and use it to map the f12 or any key you would like to hibernate or suspend Kodi. Once setup, when you hit the f12 key while in Kodi your pc should suspend. 2. Install a new device in harmony hub app using manufacturer Flirc, Model Kodi. Once created, Edit the device, select power settings, and select turn off when not in use, use a single button to power on and off, and select the power off button as the button that will turn it o…

I'm using Linuxmint 20.04. I just downloaded Flirc-3.25.3 and copied the two files to /usr/local/bin. What do I do next?

Unfortunately the documentation and support is rather lacking on this feature possibly due to lack of dev cycles anyway here is a "how to" of the " SendIR waveform function" from latest git as of feb 8 2021 on Ubuntu 20 x64: ( this guide assumes basic Linux know how, and may be invalidated over time due to updates to git) Side note: There exists other devices I bought like USB-UIRT which do a better job but have their own issues, flirc however I find a little easier to capture IR waveforms so has some uses the issue is the transceiver its not going to work unless your literally sitting the usb unit in front of the device you want to control. Objective:…

Before, I had the following setup which worked perfectly well for me: Harmony 300 Flirc Gen1 for the Harmony attached to a Minix U9H with Kodi Kodi set up with sophisticated button assignments, e.g. for buttons with all 4 colors Amazon FireTV Cube with it's own RC Today, I have this: Harmony 300 Flirc Gen 1 - not in use Flirc Gen 2 for the Harmony programmed with the "Nvidia Shield Gen2" profi Nvidia Shield Pro 2019 (works with Flirc, but the power button does not?) & the Kodi app installed What I want to achieve is the following: control the Shields itself & it's normal apps with the Harmony 300…

Hi all, I'd like to replace a Roku that i am using currently with an Android Box, and the Ematic Jetstream box ticks all the boxes, except it's got a BT remote (as I understand). My very simple 'system' consists of a TV, a pre-amp and powered speakers, so I need my remote to turn ON/OFF TWO sound devices, and all the media boxes designed to turn On/Off TVs and sound devices (be it a sound bar or a receiver) are set up for turning ON/Off only one sound device. The Roku can be operated by an IR remote, but most android boxes cannot. So, I need to "teach" Flirc to operate Ematic Jetstream box from my IR remote, which currently is programmed for a Roku bo…

Equipment is as above. I purchased this because it said I could just plug it in out of the box and it would work if I had a Harmony. I have a new Harmony 650. Works great for my TV and STB. Have a working Kodi setup with Libreelec 9.2.6. Kodi box which is a Pi works fine with a networked remote. Unfortunately, the 655 only supports IR so I bought the FLIRC. Updated firmware on FLIRC with the Windows app. Synced the remote. Using the logitech app, I add the FLIRC KODI as a device. Shows up as Flirc Media Player [Flirc Kodi]. TV is already added. Those are the only 2 devices. Added a new activity to the remote with only the TV and KODI devices. …

I just received my flirc yesterday, and soon had it working with my 2018 Mac Mini and Plex. My wife and I were commenting just how easy it was to set up when we realized that there was a minor issue. When the Mac's screen saver kicks in, the commands issued via the flirc enabled remote control did NOT interrupt the screensaver, although those commands did get passed through to the underlying Plex application. So we could browse content invisible to us, launch and pause movies, etc. using the remote, but the screensaver just kept rolling through the slideshow as if nothing was happening. Browsing old posts I discovered advice on how to set up a remote key to issue the …

I am installing FLIRC on kodibuntu. In a terminal, I added FLIRC sources to /etc/apt/sources.list. I added "deb http://apt.flirc.tv/arch/i386 binary/" after applying sudo apt-get update, I got the following response - "W:GPG error: http://apt.flirc.tv binary/ Release: the following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 3F0B7E963CBA18E3 I went to ubuntu. sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 3F0B7E963CBA18E3 I got the following response: "gpgkeys: key 3F0B7E963CBA18E3 not found on keyserver" How can I get a gpg key update for the I386 binary file?

Intro and a Rant: ;-) Thought I'd share my steps so far in case this can help anyone. Flirc is uber cool, but I've found the set up process to be completely confusing and frustrating. I'm pretty sure I've worn my middle finger out flicking it at the screen! ha ha Once I figured out what to do, the set up process isn't too bad. To the Flirc dudes: you really need to sort out the instructions. Following the Ubuntu instructions didn't work - there is no package to add. I imagine those who are less technically included who buy this will be extremely frustrated unless they can find someone to help them through the process. Anyway, that's my rant - now that things are…

Hello. I have my flirc coming today so I am trying to setup my harmony 665 to work. When I program flirc in I don't see a suspend/power off button. Will this put the nvidia tv pro to sleep by just turning off the other equipment?

Hi, I bought a Flirc Kodi Edition for my raspberry pi4 on 14th July 2019 which was shipped on 14th Agust 2019 via USPS. The USPS label helped me track it till US Customs post which there were no updates. I waited on it for a month but said case was never delivered. on September 17th I drafted a mail to support@flirc.zendesk.com and was assigned a ticket #145584, stating it was all managed by a single person and that it might take time. I waited for a bit and asked for an updated via mail on Nov 3rd, but never received any communication nor the mail. I went on to tweet about it on Nov 27th https://twitter.com/abhi27290/status/1199408669273706497 and yet didn't hear a…

I have an Asus Chromebox with dual-boot but I almost exclusively boot into Kodi. I own a Harmony 665. I don’t have much experience exploring compatibility of plug-in peripherals in Kodi except for memory expansion (external hard drives). Is the Flirc IR receiver compatible for Kodi ? If it is, how does one configure Kodi functionality from within Kodi ? Thank you for your time.

Hi, I have a HTPC setup where the HTPC powers on via WoL and runs Plex Media Player in full screen mode say like 2AM each day. Then around 8AM i'll use my Harmony One to power up all of the devices and set the correct input (samsung tv and pioneer receiver). I'm greeted with the Plex screen saver bouncing around. Using my remote to control plex it doesn't respond to the first ~20 presses of OK, Back, Play,etc. but after so many (quantity varies) the remote/flirc "wakes up" and operates like a champ all day. even after powering off the tv/receiver and letting the system go idle for hours upon hours. My system is not allowed to "sleep". this behavior only occurs…

Top 15 Best Freshwater Fishes That Are Always Popular There is no surprise that people prefer keeping fish as a pet more than any other animal.

Hi, I'm new to FLIRC and have created a configuration to control my Internet TV Box. The manufacturer is Free Telecom (France) and the Model is POP Player. The player is running Androis OS. I want to use it with a Logitech Harmony universal remote (hub based). The player's original remote is Bluetooth. The player does NOT have an IR port, but has a USB port so I can plug-in the FLIRC receiver. I have created an activity on the Harmony using the following devices: NVidia Shield Free Telecom Freebox Mini 4K (this is an older TV box, also Android based, that had an integrated IR receiver Here is why I use both devices: The NVIDIA Shield pro…

Ok maybe I'm being an idiot but I'm having serious issues programming the dongle I'm trying to program additional items for Kodi using an Harmony 650 I program enter for OK on the remote, test it and if flashes the enter button in Flirc I program L for subtitles, test it and it flashes the CC icon Test the enter button again and now if flashes the CC icon This is just one example - I cannot get the direction keys to work at all Seems every new button I program another button gets the same code and forgets what it was originally programmed to do Using the latest version of the software and firmware (just updated now)

Flirc has a hidden method for sending HID Consumer (page 12) codes: flirc_util record_api x 102 where x is in decimal flirc_util record_api 2 x where x is in hexadecimal The first method is only documented in @yawor's forum post; the second is not documented anywhere except sort of in one comment by @jseymour. I tried every value for x from 0 to 0x29c (668 decimal), the highest listed in the HID documentation, to to see which ones cause Nvidia Shield TV to do things. Each is listed with the Android KEYCODE the resulting Flirc binding produced in Button Mapper. (The Flirc codes do not match Android keycodes' numbers.) Flirc code | Android keycode ----…

I recently built a computer (Windows 10) in a Streacom FC9 Alpha case, and purchased and installed the Flirc SE module to the case and motherboard, as instructed. There doesn't seem to be any clear instructions beyond this point as to how to power the PC on and off (from S4/S5 states). Here are the actions I've taken thus far: Configured my Asus motherboard to allow power on from USB, S4/S5 states Installed and downloaded the Flirc Windows app Added the Flirc device in the Harmony Control iOS app following these instructions Lastly, I'm using a Logitech Harmony Hub and companion iOS app to fire IR commands to the IR receiver built into the …

Just got my FLIRC and I am trying to set up an MCE (Media Center Edition) remote to interface with an application by simply sending keyboard characters to the application when certain buttons are pressed on the remote. Here is what is happening: First, I do a clear configuration, and then select the Full Keyboard controller. I select the "comma" key and press the "Fast Forward" button on the remote. Now I go to Notepad on the computer to test that the Fast Forward button is actually sending a comma. It does, but only on every other button press! Thus, it takes two presses of the Fast Forward button to get one comma. After trying to figure out what is going …

Hi, first time here. Just bought the FLIRC USB and wanted to download the installer but when I try, Chrome blocks the download telling me "This file is dangerous, so Chrome has blocked it." Is it OK to continue the download or should I wait as Chrome suggests? Dave

Hello, updated to the lastest firmware and with the V2 Flirc, I can't manage to send IR sequences from the dongle ? Please, could you help me to assign a keystroke to an IR emission ? Thanks in advance

Hi there, I wanted to install the latest version of Flirc to try my luck again at programming the USB receiver. So I downloaded the Flirc software, tried to run it, but it crashes every single time I try to run it. I recall the previous versions of the software would start and be able to program the receiver. So, why does the current version systematicaly systematically crashes on launch?

Hi ... i want to install flirc_util on openelec ... so i can record buttons via SSH (i'm using an internal flirc_se - so removing and programming in windows is not an option). Had a look at the wiki but they only mention debian and rpm installations ... any pointers for doing this manually please on openelec? Cheers! Update 1 - actually i guess I can just download http://downloads.flirc.tv/release/cli/flirc_util/linux/flirc_util ... chmod 777 ... and happy times - will try later have to go out now! Update 2 - ok so the above "worked" only issue was that the link above doesn't host the latest version of flirc_util (the one there didn't support fw v3.6) - anyway ... I could…
