  1. IMG_3189.mov If the attached video doesn't work, here is cloud link: https://share.flirc.io/3196CdTQ This took me about 5 minutes to reproduce of pressing the B button. It is purely timing. If you press a profile button at an exact moment in time, we cause the issue. You do not need to press the profile button in repetition. It can be A/B/C/Color dots at the exact moment after any subsequent button. I confirmed in lab today, in this state, it's stuck and using more power. So you might have pressed this sequence, put the remote down, come back the next day, see it stuck, and it would have had an impact on battery life. This was not the only issue that caused this in this thread. I fixed 3 other edge cases and documented them. I have also replaced a few remotes that were in the first batch of shipments, and completely unrelated. Firmware update coming, it's already solved. Just a matter of getting it into a release and publishing. Let's hope this is the last edge case.

  2. I reproduced it and I fucking fixed it. Jesus christ. I'll post a video tomorrow. I swear I sat here for 3 hours with logging pressing buttons until I got it to happen. I analyzed the logs until I saw a pattern, tried it, never got it to happen. But noticed it only happens after pressing a/b/c It's strictly a timing issue. Edge case, and I understand why it can happen, but don't understand why it wont 'unstick'. But I handle these specific buttons in interrupt context. So I changed this. I queue them and move them into my normal task manager and it works fine. I'll push an update as soon as possible. GUI is currently a mess, so we need to clean it up. I'll look at some kinda remedy for everyone this week.

  3. I have had some similar experiences. I have macros on three of the color buttons that shut off a box and switch to another HDMI, then I would press the new activity key, then do the same color button to power on the box for the new activity. I think I went a little too quick pressing the activity button before the macro had finished and the remote locked up. If I make sure to wait until the LEDs stop before continuing my sequence, it seems okay.

  5. There is evidence on the website of there once being Linux support for this Flirc USB thing but the guides are from 2012 and all the links are dead. Will it be coming back? EDIT: after looking more into at the site and these forums support for this thing looks to be dead regardless of platform. back in the box it goes, not sure why it was sold with the skip remote if its no longer supported. EDIT2: Found the latest release at http://apt.flirc.tv/arch/x86_64/ and figured out it needed libhidapi-dev installed from apt sudo apt install libhidapi-dev and running the program with sudo from the terminal. sudo ./Flirc

  6. Switch back to the public. Only way to know. I have not done due dilligence with the alpha.

  9. Thank you very much ytsejam1138! You were correct, it was not only the default pop-up blocker, but some of the domains/urls being called were getting caught in the pi-hole. Once I had those identified and whitelisted, and enabled pop-ups for the site, only then could I download them. Thank you very much for taking the time to point me in the right direction ^.^

  10. Thanks for all the hard work! I'm looking forward to the switching to free up my color buttons for other functions! One other thing I really like about the Skip 1s remote is that the plastic is brushed and not reflective. In my family room, the overhead lights will reflect off reflective remotes, or the screen of the X1, into the corner of my eye, which is distracting. That does not happen with the Skip 1s. Also makes it look more premium in my opinion.

  11. Thank you for the update. Learning is just about done and I’ll post a release candidate today or tomorrow. However, what I have posted is very stable. I’m going to work on smart activity switching the second it’s released. Thank you again

  12. Shot in the dark. Go to Settings, Accessibility. Enable Advanced Admin Panel. Click on the wrench in the top right corner that is now there. Go to brands, and add this. Let me know if it works. Peachtree - INova.json

  13. Yep, you're right on point there and you're certainly not alone in your observations. Sadly, all these users' comments seem to to be in vain. Support hasn't been improved and the software remains confusing and frustrating to use. You'd think that after all the comments from numerous users, the developers would rethink their strategy. But they remain on their path. This kind of behavior you'd only expect from Chinese manufacturers: Good hardware, bad software and an even lesser form of support.
