Indefinitely. I think we have at least a year before it moves to a release version. Feel free to try the latest with all the features outlined here: https://forum.flirc.tv/index.php?/topic/21528-skipapp-09996-rc-cloud-sync-mobile-support/ You can always revert back to the beta.

Can you post a link to your repo?

You should change it to 'beta' for now.

Sorry, I forgot we haven't labeled the public version as release yet. You should be on Beta. RC is untested and unreleased, but is possible for release. Did you update to the latest release candidate, and did it work? If not, try the public version: https://update.flirc.tv/skipapp/beta/0.9.995/SkipApp-0.9.995.10457-Beta-x64.msix?token=skipAppUpdate

You are using a beta build. Did you check the beta box in settings? I'm about to post an update on that channel.

Awesome, great feedback and great job taking all those notes. Yes, it's around ~2.4V because the batteries are in series and that's about the cutoff for the microprocessor to run at it's frequency. Thanks so much.

SkipApp-0.9.996-RCThis is a fairly large update with over a year of under-the-hood changes. A lot was rewritten as this is now a truly cross-platform application running on Linux, Mac, Windows, Android, and iOS. iOS has limitations due to the inability to communicate with USB devices and is currently still private testing. Cloud conflict resolution needs improvements. Currently, when a conflict is detected, you need to choose which configuration to keep. We will improve on this later, as well as show a visual difference between the two. What's to ComeReact Native Fabric Support! One of the biggest time wasters is Windows. We are constantly working on problems that Microsoft throws at us, despite React Native Desktop being led by the team at Microsoft. We report bugs, provide feedback, and constantly stay in the loop. Ever since they released React Native Desktop for Windows, they made the poor decision to sandbox the app. This has meant that our app doesn't have ordinary privileges and is sometimes even prevented from communicating with our own remote control due to Logitech or Steam drivers they bundled with Windows. We are constantly updating our 'driver' utility so that the skip app will work with our own remote. What a gigantic waste of time this has been. Furthermore, I've had a dream to be able to configure the FLIRC USB inside this same app, as well as bring new features to that device. But due to this limitation, this was not something I would ever even consider. Bringing us to about a week ago, Microsoft has finally released a version that includes Fabric with critical bugs fixed that we reported. Not only are we seeing a leap in performance, but this removes the sandbox requirement. We already have a version up and running with hidapi. Expect 0.9.996 -> 0.9.997 to be the upgrade to Fabric, including bug fixes, visual improvements, and minor details. We are already have something working. From there, I'd like to build a community portal into the app that shows various remotes that others have learned, as well as bring my decoding library back into the GUI and not rely on external servers anymore. I'll also include some firmware updates to fix some minor grievances. Please feel free to throw in requests. Dark ModeWe finally added a dark mode which by default will follow your system settings and of course you can turn it always on. Mobile SupportThis version has support for iOS (testflight) and Android. Below is a picture of the app running on Android. Dynamic ResolutionsWith the addition of mobile, we needed to be able to support more than two resolutions. So this version has the ability to be dynamically resized. Not all resolutions are supported, but this will improve over time as we eventually extend down into phone sizes. CleanShot 2026-07-10 at 17.49.46.mp4 Cloud SupportMobile support didn't make sense without cloud syncing. It was frustrating to set up on your PC, get your tablet, and find that none of your remotes were there, forcing you to start over. So, we needed cloud support before we considered releasing this version. This version supports Google Drive and Dropbox via their API, as well as pointing to a local folder on a cloud provider, making it work with anything that automounts, like iCloud, Microsoft Drive, Syncthing, etc. New ToggleNo more ambiguity in understanding if a feature is on/off. We changed the way toggle reflects on and off states. New SVG Remote DesignWe struggled with alignment for a long time. It seemed windows / mac / linux had differences that caused a lot of issues. So we converted the remote design into an SVG and our problems are all gone. Undo RedoWith the addition of cloud, we added undo/redo functionality as demonstrated below. undo-redo.mp4 Test ModeIt was really frustrating to constantly go back into the wizard to test a particular button, or to have to load it onto your remote, sync, and press the button you were testing. Now you can test directly in the GUI and the background flashes red to show that you are not in normal operation. The same toggle to start test mode will stop it, or simply exiting the button panel. Test Mode.mp4 ReminderPlease remember to attach your support file (Even on android), and let us know how testing goes. This bundle includes everything we would ever need to know about your system, your remote setup, your operating system, your cloud status, logs, etc. ChangelogNew – Android Application (Private Link) New – Cloud Syncing New – Dark Mode New – iOS Application New – Responsive Design New – SVG Remote Design New - Test Mode New – Undo/Redo New – Underlying RND and RN Libraries Fixed – Bugs and Stability Improvements Fixed – Connection Issues on Linux Fixed – Multiple Icon and Font Issues Fixed – Popup Menus Disappearing Linux Download Mac Download Windows Download PlayStore Link Android PlayStore Android APK

Good question.

This is so weird, I could have sworn I asked you for your config, but my request isn't here. Let me take a look and try and reproduce it.

Yeah, I spoke with the developer of irscrutinizer and he told me how to do it. I intend to do so soon after I get this next release out.

We're going to post a new beta to try soon. We've been hung up on some bugs. but it was a huge release. It's coming, hopefully by tomorrow. Days away.

I think the remote is old, it's hard to say. Could even be moisture. I think the best I can do is give you heavily discounted remote in exchange for this so I can take a look. You can PM me. Sorry for the delay.

It didn't trigger to download? How did you find it. Just by browsing the forums? I've actually been updating the same 'driver'. I keep finding different apps that fuck with USB on windows with no rhyme or reason. I call it a driver, but I'm just disabling all the bullshit that keeps popping up. I can not believe windows forces us into a sandbox and allows other software to disable our own hardware. We have several big updates coming. I'm hoping to post it tomorrow.

Very sorry, seems I have an issue with the win64 build.... Try this one: Win32 Download Updated my other links as well.

Yes. That’s the problem. but it should work outside the pc and in the ps4 because that doesn’t have a German keyboard.

What actually happens in the PS4? I would actually say this is a GUI bug that's highlighting the wrong key, but FLIRC is still sending the correct key to the computer.

Try the following. This includes a firmware image that fixes the issue with the built-in profiles. It should also resolve the issue if you relearn the keys using the FLIRC software and the Fire TV controller (relearn any problematic keys). If you have a Skip remote, this adds a few more buttons. Load the attached file into the Skip software, as this is currently the only way to access the new keys until I expand the Fire TV controller in the GUI. Windows 32 Bit Linux App Image Linux Static Compile Mac Universal Sorry this took so long. It was much more work than I expected. I was able to implement some of the special Amazon keys, but it will require additional firmware work to fully support them, which I plan to do. Please let me know. Flirc-Amazon FireTV.json

I figured it out. I'm going to think about how best to solve it. I also figured out how to send those fucking primet, peakcock, directv, etc buttons....

Can you try this one: Linux Download

Go to File->Advanced and disable all the built in profiles. You can post your config, and there could be some noise that was recorded. You can check it here: https://flirc.io/config/

Thank you for the kind words, means a lot. It should actually honor the delays and repeats in your button as if it were not doing the switch at all. So if you were to turn off the smart activity switch, and then power down the first activity, power up the second activity, does it work? Attach your config, I'll load it on my remote and play with it.

Thanks for putting this together, really helpful. Yes, will start working on something.

No, definitely not. Do the keys still work that you had paired previously? The rest of your questions are kinda moot considering the device is loosing it's configuration. Can you make sure you are on the latest firmware? What does yours say?

Sorry, we've all been taking turns getting sick and I was playing nurse at home. I bought a FireTV Max, a game controller, and I have some test firmware. I should be able to do some testing tomorrow.

I have built-in Flirc profiles. Any of the devices by the manufacturer "FLIRC" that you added to skip are pre-programmed and enabled in the Flirc USB. You don't need to do any pairing with those. It is already done. If you want to disable any of them, open up the Flirc USB's pairing app, then go to File -> Advanced, and disable them. You are still able to record these keys, but that's on purpose. You are effectively "overwriting" my entry in the built-in profile. If you record and then delete that same entry, you are enabling the built-in entry again. The only way to get it to not respond is by hitting that disable button. Hope that clears it up.
