Thanks for following up. The latest is always embedded in the software. You can go to file->advanced and force an upgrade.

You can configure the computer to control the mouse with numpad keys. Which you should then be able to use with the skip and a flirc usb, however you can use an application launcher and keyboard keys to switch between the two. I created apppad.io to try and solve this but we haven’t put much work into it and I don’t think the performance in the pi would be great.

Still trying to get it to work. Haven’t succeeded yet. One of my devices doesn’t show a buttons panel in the app and I can’t figure out what the issue is.
can you post a screenshot?

Can you message me here, let's set up a way to real time chat so we can solve this together. I test them all out before sending, do you remember the app working at all?
If you open the app, enable admin mode in the 3 dots, accessibility, and go to the wrench tab. there is a log tab there, go to the log folder. Send those logs over. I'm thinking it failed an update, but worked initially. -
It wont be faster. The reason it's slow, is it needs to 'open' the device every time it calls sendir. You can use the dll to create an app that leaves it open so you can send it messages? What are you trying to do?

Alright, I'm really sorry, I restarted it and have a script running to restart it if it hangs.

It is not, it's only temporary. It will be bundled. IR learning is still in active development. I am updating the IR decoders all the time behind the scenes for new devices and remotes. It would be a gigantic pain in the ass to keep shipping a new version each time, especially since there is no way to not include alpha work. It will be a part of the app soon with possible dynamic checking for updates.

Yes, recently published and only available to a few buttons.
By default, it's enabled on the 'power' button always.
It will be automatically enabled if toggle buttons are available for either the play/pause or mute button.
You can however enable them if it doesn't automatically do so. See the following:

1. I found a config file for a Kodi Tv box that mostly works for my android TV box. There are a few functions that I don't have and a couple I'd like to add, but the main ones are there.
Which? I would love to know so I can get these fixed and if you want to post your flirc config I'll get something added to make this easier and automated.
Really sorry for all the trouble you had.
On 1/7/2025 at 8:06 AM, firedog said:2. Finally also found an explanation for how to use the Harmony remote with the Flirc USB and the Skip. But it wasn't totally obvious. You should have a page that explains it step by step in simple terms.
I am out of the loop with this one, can you point me to that so I can get some documentation going?
On 1/7/2025 at 8:06 AM, firedog said:3. Again, is there a way to set up buttons that toggle on the Flirc Skip? I have one that toggles power on/off and another that toggles mute/ unmute. I tried to set it up, but I can't get anything that works consistently.

Hi. ,
Please help me find documentation on using libflirc.dll with examples.
Thanks.https://github.com/flirc/sdk
That repo has example code which is the same code that ships with flirc_util. Should compile on anything with GCC / mingw setup properly. Headers are documented and example code should be enough to copy and pasta. -
Download my software and then plug the device in. Ignore the update, and go to the shield profile (since it runs on android). That’s controllers -> shield at the top menu. Pair remote buttons by hitting go. Unplug and plug into your android. Make sure adb debugging is off if it doesn’t respond to your remote. Let me know if you get stuck.

Strange. No worries. Send me an inmail. I’ll drop one in the mail

I can't get it to work on Windows or Linux because, when I click the buttons on the source remote while Recording, I get the follow error message hard stop everytime. Why is this happening? Both the Windows and Linux computers have 100% internet access no doubt.
Blimey, I fixed it, server crashed, thanks for letting me know. Let me know if you have trouble.

Hello
I am trying to Learn the Remote for the EE TV Pro Set Top Box.
When I try and Learn a Button, I get an Error stating that 'Internet is needed for Remote Control Learning', 'Were unable to Reach our Servers'.
The PC I am using is Connected to the Internet and I am able to Access Websites with no Issues.
Firmware: 4.13.11.0
Software: RC 0.9.992
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Kevin
Can you try the latest release candidate?
-
Most tasks, especially media watching will be fine because they use hardware acceleration. In my warehouse, where it was 80F, it took 2 hours to run a burn in test before it reached throttling temperatures.

i sent you a PM 11 days ago:
hi, so i followed the method to put it into bootloader mode, pressing any button makes light flash 3 times, but when i open the app it checks for an update and then says its up to date, firmware version is 4.12.18, i have 2 remotes here and both behave exactly the same way. the app is on a mac, release version is skip is A06. also tried factory reset but same, no updates available. what else can i try? can you send me the latest firmware to load locally?
Are you still having trouble, I saw someone have success in another thread, but can't find it, was that you?

Using my pairing software, you can select any keyboard key combination in the keyboard controller view.

Some nice updates as we prep for release, and hope I can get some feedback and testing. Now when we add a device, we have a shortcut to easily change and jump into some settings:
Also, something that always bothered me was super long text throughout the app. Now we will start replacing these instances with something more elegent:
Also is our first implementation of not destroying user configuration if you need to jump back into the wizard. This is tricky as there are a lot of different intentions of the user. If they replace one tv for the next, if they purposely change a mapping, if they remove a device, etc. We tried to come up with the best way to preserve any settings the user has done while also swapping/changing devices.

I support that protocol, should be fine. I'm puzzled, are you going through the recording process? You can find out how to do that here:

Yes I try since long time.
I have a switchbot universal remote and it can learn Loewe remote. Siri remote can too, allisone too !!!
Why Flirc remote can't ?

The software can learn your remote. Have you tried? If it didn’t work, what was the error message?
please enable the admin panel, go to advanced with the wrench in the upper right corner and then go to the last tab called learning. Press and hold a button and send me the text

Record ("IR Learning") feature worked perfectly first time after firmware upgrade to 4.13.11-0 (from 4.12.6-0) using the above upgrade method
I'm glad and I'm sorry for my poor instructions. Thanks for letting me know and thank you so much for sharing that the recording worked.
I'm so very sorry for the initial headache, grateful for the patience.-

So the earliest version of hardware had a bug. It would deny an update without the ability to check USB state, without this piece of hardware working perfectly, the remote can get stuck indefinitely.
To safely enter bootloader mode. Take out the batteries. press the middle cursor button, and the back button. while plugging it into the computer. See attached.
If successful, pressing any button will blink the LED 3 times. If so, start the app, it should force an update.
If not, message me.

Saw your other message. I’m sorry. I’ve had a really really shitty week. It’s just me that does support. (I’m the owner)
I’ll help on your other thread shortly. Really sorry.

Plastic pieces for top and bottom are now sticky - can you provide 3d print files to replace?
