Downloads: SkipApp Tool SkipUpdate for Config Files Description: Thanks for your patience, this was a lot of work. You'll need special versions of software for now. But here is a summary of what you do. Use our app as you would. When you are ready to 'sync', you'll export your configuration with a special process. Enable special export by pressing 'tab' 3 times while in the tools tab Click Export Remote Configuration Save to Disk Open up skipUpdate Tool and load the saved config Sync Here is a video demo and a link if the embedded video doesn't play.

I understand you are frustrated. I have an idea that will be easier to implement but not as elegant. Basically, I'll make this a two step process. I'll add the ability to export the binary config that gets downloaded to the remote. This will export into a file. Step two will be to launch another program that will be able to upgrade the remote, as well as load this file. That is all. This will evolve into an app that SkipApp talks to. Basically, it will launch alongside SkipApp and handle the device communication when this situation happens. It will take a bit longer to implement this, and iterate on this elegantly. But will be our goal. Please be patient, it's just me and one other developer at the moment. I'll try and have something for you this week. I'm really sorry for this frustrating inconvenience.

I’m at a loss. Windows forces us to use a framework and then permits other developers to lock us out of our own device. we issued a fix and it asks you for permission and a password and it is supposed to reverse their registry modification. That has seemed to work for 75% of people. Were you prompted for a password? You can try right clicking the app and running as administrator. now that it doesn’t work for you I don’t know what the hell to do. The fact that our other software works proves the point that windows fucks us because they force us to use their dumb sandbox. so I have to write a client that our app talks to which talks to the remote. I don’t know what else to do. I’ve spent hundreds of hours on this dumb problem.

Thank you. I’ll have a solution this week.

Can you tell me if this works: Ringtune are you able to connect to the remote and change the led color?

Try again

Oh you are right. Are you on the updated firmware?

my mistake, my build script got stuck. Should be posted.

I posted an update 4.10.5, should fix it.

It's borked, send me a pm.

You said you had 0.9.957.7232, so it's not the right one. You have to re-install the one from the forum and don't let it update when it prompts you.

Use this version in the forums and don’t upgrade.

Sorry for the delay, you can try the attached. If this doesn't work, open up the button, and set the button to repeat to 3, let me know if this works. Sony STR-ZA1100ES.json

Happy Easter. Embedded is v4.12.26 which should has this fixed. The GUI is unstable. We have core libraries updated with a lot of fixes involved. Unfortunately, this was a necessary step, as we were falling behind with react native desktops public stable release. There are things that could be broken, icons, crashes. Etc. But the firmware update should work, and you can revert back to the previous if it's giving you problems. But initial testing seems fine. We just not have tested everything yet.

Listen, I've got very little time, and I'm not posting binary images all over the forum for users to brick their devices because they don't know what they are doing or don't understand their are multiple hardware sku's. The flirc config stores hashes. I know nothing about what it's receiving with those. In order for me to fix anything, I need to reproduce it.

Thank you, the log was helpful.

This is not true. You can plug the USB into another device with no GUI software and it should work with the previously paired remote.

Because the config is compressed, information is lost when put on the remote, and although I don't have a public way of reading it out, even if we did, it wouldn't tell us the device and manufacturer. But I would use my decoders to try and look it up. I have all the past firmwares posted on the forum somewhere.

Not helpful, what did you add here so I can reproduce this.

What remote profile did you use in the skip app? The manufacturer and device?

What profile are you using on your skip1s? Can you post your config from your skip and from your flirc?

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.

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.
