Do you see any this file:
/etc/udev/rules.d/99-flirc.rules
-
I'll have some bug fixes posted shortly.
-
An update will be posted here hopefully on Monday:
If you couldn't live without the remote, download the one from the website, it is 0.9.993, you'll need to clear your configuration and start again. I'm sorry for this.

Hello Jason
Correct, Harmony to turn everything Off then the Skip 1s to run Activity 1 where the Marantz AVR turns On and then Off.
It may be getting Late here, however, there is no File / About in the SkipApp, that I can find, however, I clicked on the 3 Vertical Dots / About and took a Screenshot as it is not possible to Cut and Paste the Information in Windows 11, hopefully that is the Information that you meant.
The Remote Firmware is Version 4.13.11.0.
I am now going to Bed so if you Reply I will get your Message Tomorrow.
Thanks in advance
Kevin
Perfect, thank you. I see the issue. It's a bug with the latest release candidate. You may need to delete the app and reset the remote and start over again (With the current PUBLIC beta or the website 0.9.993). Or, if you wait until monday, we can push a new release candidate to have this fixed.

Hello Jason
Thanks for the Reply.
The AVR is the Device being Turned On and Off, not the TV, just for clarification.
I have attached the Log to this Message.
I think I may have misunderstood your Instructions, if that is so then Please let me know.
The First Block is from the Harmony Elie Remote which I used to Turn everything Off, the Rest is from the Skip 1s where I used the Activity and the AVR switched On and then Off.
Thanks
Kevin
So this is two button presses, correct ? First harmony, then the second one is the skip 1s pressed once, correct?
Can you do me another favor. In the skipapp, can you go to file->About, copy and paste that text here. Also, go to remote manager, and save your configuraiton, and post it here, as shown here:
Can you also tell me what firmware version of the remote you see? Same screenshot as above.
Thanks for the info. I'll figure it out -

Thank you. Can you also attach a picture of the Power button on your remote that's the problem. Both power-on/off toggles at the bottom. Similar to the attached, (but for both Up/Down.

A script is supposed to install udev rules and restart the app. Sometimes this requires a hotplug. But I need to figure out why it didn't work. Will follow-up when I get to the office.

Hello Jason
I am having quite a few issues that I am unable to solve.
I have Two Activities, 'Home Theatre PC' and 'Watch TV'.
To keep things less complicated I will be using 'Home Theatre PC' in this example but Issue exists in the 'Watch TV' Activity too.
I have the following Devices:
LG 49SK8500PLA - Added as LG Type 1 TV
Marantz NR1609 AVR - Added as NR/SR Series Main Zone, I have tried Essential Commands Only and also All Commands.
Flirc - Added as Flirc (Plex), I use Plex HTPC.
To have a Clean Start, I Turn Off the TV and Marantz AVR Manually, the PC stays On 24/7.
When I Press 'A' on the Skip 1s Remote followed by the 'Power' Button, the TV Turns On, then the Marantz AVR Turns On and Immediately Turns Off.
I have checked the Button Timings and Repeat is Set at 1.
I would try Learning the Original Marantz Remote for the NR1609 but the Remote Learning feature does not work which I reported back in March.
The Remote Learning will Learn the First, or sometimes the Second, Button but it will not progress any further so Learning a Full Remote is not possible.
Any Help in solving these Issues would be appreciated as, unfortunately, the Skip 1s Remote is of no use to me as it is currently.
Thanks in advance
Kevin
Can you grab your Flirc USB, Pop it in the computer. Open Up the Flirc USB pairing application. Go to File->Advanced, enable IR debugging.
Press once the SKIP Remote Power button in question that is turning off and on the TV.Wait a good five seconds. Grab the other remote, and Press the Power button once. Let go for 5 Seconds, press it again.
Copy and paste the text in here. Let's get it fixed. -

I’ve initiated an RMA request for the device. My Streacom case was sacrificed so I could use its SE and at least that unit works like it should.
On a personal note @jason, people pay hard earned money for your products, you can’t just leave them hanging like this without support. It’s not just me, most other forum threads go unresolved. Stand by your product or pull it off the market please.Where did you initiate an RMA?

Is this plugged directly into the computer or ina hub? What kind of computer? I’m really sorry about this. Can you save and share your configuration here.
can you also tell me what sku you have? I’ll generate some firmware to troubleshoot this

Just posting to add that I've experienced exactly the same issue, again with an old Flirc 2.0 that I hadn't used for some time. Same unit test failure, exactly the same symptoms as above.
I've already ordered a replacement from Amazon, just posting here in case the data point is useful.
How long did you have the bad one?

Try the firetv or shield profile. Those should work. Let me know.

Just asking asking again.
I really don't quite follow this particular setup. I asked a question but didn't get a response regarding the remote. Are you sending something from IP2IR and then the flirc usb is playing back 2 signals for every transmission?
What is the log you attached? is this from the IP2IR device?
Can you clear the log, and send one signal to the flirc, and post those results?
- Hello, thank you for responding. How do i disable IR learning?
IR learning can't be "disabled" because it's only enabled during recording. Once a record is successful, it is played back and never enters this state again.- Is it possible to passthrough the codes from iTach through the Flirc?
I really don't understand what this means. In order for the codes to achieve their desired results on your PC, you need to record them with Flirc so they send the right USB signal on reception.
My guess is that your IP2IR device is sending out two presses everytime you tell it to do it once. But I can't be for sure without more information of your setup and a new log. -

I'm looking to buy a mini PC that has a motherboard with wake (from hibernate) on USB capability that works with the Flirc USB.
I have a Flirc USB in my desktop PC and waking from hibernate with my IR remote works fine. For the bedroom I'd like a mini PC that can also wake from an IR remote so I would buy a second Flirc USB for the bedroom. I'm replacing a raspberry pi 3 which is becoming too slow for modern versions of kodi. A raspberry pi 5 would do the job but a mini PC running linux or windows isn't much more expensive and is more flexible.
Which mini PC can wake from hibernation with a Flirc USB?
PS.
I have a minisforum mini PC whose motherboard doesn't support wake on USB so don't say they all do.
Almost all can. Just make sure it can supply power over usb. And it’s on suspend and not hibernate.

A lot of this stuff is out of date and solved. I am compiling in readline and all these libraries statically into the binary. I also put together an app image file which is a self contained blob with all the libraries. It's in the zip file in the linux download sections of the website.

" I can record from the remote with no problems"
this remote? -

I am using a Global Cache iTach IP2IR with the FLIRC on an Nvidia Shield PRO 2019. I can record from the remote with no problems. However commands are executing twice. Global Cache has their own library of IR Codes. Would this have anything to do with it? Is there a work around?
Can you capture the code with the remote and from the ip2ir ?
Use the flirc gui->advanced, enable IR debugging. press and hold the button once on the remote for about a second Then send the same button out once from the ip 2 ir. -

This happens indeed every time I do a unit test.
I just repeated again following commands: device_log, settings, unit_test, settings, device_log.
As you can see below again my key recordings are lost.I am not doing anything custom at all. I am not using the utility, not in background and not in script. I am happy to install the special firmware to get the extra logs (however you have to tell me how to install it, because normally I do this only with the GUI).

@jason ,
Any idea what might be causing the issue?
Do you need more logs / info? If so then please let me know what more you need.
Thanks.
This is really crazy. Does this happen every time?
I don’t see anything in dmesg.
Can you do a flirc_utility device log before this happens and after it happens. I may need to send you some special firmware to get more logs. The only way a device can lose its memory is if it’s sent a special command. Or memory gets corrupted, and the way that happens is if something writes to memory… But it would also say in the device log if it found corrupt memory.
Are you doing anything custom like running the utility in the background or as a startup script, etc?

I have also enabled Kodi debugging.
During normal operation when I press the play/pause button then the Kodi log file shows the following message:
2025-03-27 12:06:31.164 T:631975 debug <general>: HandleKey: play_pause (0xf0bd) pressed, window 12005, action is PlayPause
However when the video is in long pause (couple of minutes) then my Flirc is not responding anymore when I press a button and then this HandleKey debug message is NOT shown in the Kodi.log.
Therefore I think this issue is a bug in the Flirc firmware.
What is the next step?
When this happens, can you ssh into it and see if there are any logs?
Do a `dmesg` paste that here.
Also run a few commands and see what happens.
flirc_util unit_test
flirc_util settings
Let me know. -

You can. First record the first key normally.
Then go to the GUI. File->Advanced.
Then change the recording mode to macro. Now record the same button on your remote. Rather than getting a 'key already exists' error, you should be able to keep recording on that key. Same goes for long press.
Sorry, I just checked, I thought that was in the manual. It's going to get updated soon. I had to drop gitbook, they lost my manual, and I can't edit it. So I had to re-write it in docusaurus.
I'm really sorry, I fucked up and let you guys down. I'll do better.
Sounds like it was replaced. I heard of the 'memory' issue one other time. Waiting for a device to reproduce it. I was hoping @Brigitte still had it.
