really sorry you are having trouble, can you record your left button, save the config, erase the config, then another button, and save it again? Could you post both those saved files?
-
a. this isn't really possible with flirc yet. it can be in a firmware release, but I don't have it planned at the moment.
b. you'll need to use something like event ghost to launch an application with a custom remote command
-
if your computer is not in a cabinet, you don't even need to do this.
-
looks fine to me. Is that the output in a wandboard?
-
I'll use this to extend the GUI to include a built in profile for FireTV. Thanks Tony.

Unfortunately the problem is back. It's possible that it's more intermittent since it took more time for me reproduce it, but when it started happening, it happened multiple times. The situation seems to clear if I keep a button pressed on the remote for a moment.
Since it's intermittent a real-time debugging session may not be that fruitful, but I'm ready to try different firmware versions if you will.

I'm will to try anything. If you want to ping me on gchat, jasonkotzin, I'll give you some firmware images to try.
One quick test, you have built-in-profiles enabled in your configuration. Could you head to the advanced section of your gui, and disable that if you're not using the built in harmony xbmc profile?
-
you're awesome.
-
what does lsusb say?
-
Basically, flirc shows up to the fire tv as a keyboard. So just use the keyboard controller view of my application, pair them with your remote, and you can use it on your amazon.
I don't have any list of shortcuts for the firetv, but it's definitely on my list of stuff to do.-

I've only had a chance to play with the new firmware for a short while, but so far it looks promising. I couldn't reproduce the problem at least yet, but it has been intermittent so I'll need to test some more. So far so good in any case. :)

Thanks so much for the followup, keep me posted. I'll do whatever it takes to get rid of this problem.

The apt-source is not currently live, you have to use the direct download on the site. I'll try and fix it soon.
For now, just download the linux package and follow the instructions on the site.
Also, make sure you have the latest libusb package. That error is because that's an old library.
Looks like the device is stuck in the bootloader. If you have a windows machine, pop it in, and you can use it on linux with no additional software required.
-
There is a wake key on the keyboard controller view. Attached a screenshot and highlighted that for you.

I'll test the new firmware first, but if I still have trouble, what configuration information would you need? I can also volunteer for realtime troubleshooting if need be. Thanks for your effort!

As far as realtime troubleshooting, we can get on gchat and iterate over firmware attempts (if this is pretty repeatable)

flie->saveconfiguration
That's it.

I released an update that may address what people are seeing, firmware v2.6, please give that a shot and let me know. Again, if someone can volunteer to help in troubleshooting this a bit more realtime, I'd be very grateful and can send you a raspberry pi and free flirc on the house once this gets solved.
-
But I am experiencing the same thing, on only one TV in my house, so I don't think it is the Flirc that is the problem. This TV has also had problems with directv receivers with the remote not working, and solution was to cover the IR receiver on the directv with tape.
Can you describe the behavior when the flirc gets stuck? Does it do it on it's own, or after pressing a button? When it does it, is it random presses? Or continuation of the last key?
This is probably different from what other people are seeing.
-
What type of TV are using with your HTPC? I have two flircs that do the endless keypresses that are hooked to a Samsung 52B750, but neither of the flircs have the problem on a Panasonic 60VT60 or a Samung 46B8500. I would try this, when the endless keypresses happen, grab a blanket large enough to cover the screen of the TV and see if they stop. If the blanket resolves the issue then the problem is IR interference from the screen. The only suggestion I can think of is to cover the flirc completely with masking tape (scotch tape didn't work for me).
Shouldn't have to do that. If you are experiencing that, is it only after you are pressing buttons with your remote that you get this endless repeat?
-
Anyone that is experiencing this and it's quickly reproduced, could you please let me know. I need someone to work with me to help solve this. We can knock it out pretty quickly.
-
Awesome, so glad you are up and running, let me know if you run into any more issues.
-
with the same software you used to force the firmware upgrade and clear your configuration, you must use that to pair remote buttons with keyboard keys.
Most of the software you will use your remote with accepts keyboard keys as controls. Just figure out which ones you want to use to control the software, and pair those with your remote buttons. Check out the video on the front page of the website which shows the minimal controller view (up,down,left,right,etc)
-
Okay great, now let's figure out why your remote isn't working.
Did you go through the pairing process with the GUI?
-
I'm afraid I'm now suffering from the endless repeat problem too. I have a Harmony 785 remote and Flirc with bootloader v2.0 and firmware 2.5. The Flirc is connected directly to front USB port of Intel NUC (model D54250WYKH). Everything worked fine with an old laptop and old Flirc firmware, but now I'm getting frequently into endless repeat loop until I unplug the flirc. Sometimes it recovers if I hammer the keys on the remote, but then goes haywire again. Doesn't seem to matter if it's shaded by the cabinet or not.

Before you change anything, can you send me your configuration? I've got to get to the bottom of this.
-
Something is definitely wrong, this shouldn't be happening. Are you using a USB hub?
Try loading the software, then do a file->clear configuration
From there, go to file->advanced, then do force firmware upgrade.
Let me know if that helps.

did some looking at it at home, not sure what to make of it yet. Those buttons are definitely the same. Have another remote you can try to verify the flirc isn't bad?
