  7. Apple 4K + Device Parameters

    I have a Logitech Harmony 700 IR remote that I set up with my ATV to see if another third party remote would work. It controls all the mapped functions with the buttons correctly. So I'm at a loss why the Logitech works and the Skip doesn't. Timing between repeats, maybe... Also, doesn't explain why some ATV 2022 work fine and others don't.....

    The Apple TV codes have a device in them. I can try changing that. I’ll try this week to resolve this. 

  8. Pioneer Volume Control Slow

    Sure.

    I'm trying to simultaneously control volume on two devices, that both raise or lower the volume by 0.5dB iterations, which means they require the same amount of commands, making it a fairly simple scenario.

     

    However, when configuring "Volume Up", for example, on the Skip app with two actions (both of my recording and previously attached), the remote will execute the actions in a weird way. Clicking the button several times (say 5) will not send, but queue 10 commands, and due to an unexplained lag, they are not sent immediately but with a delay of several seconds (not milliseconds). In other words, you can place the remote on the table and commands will be sent for quite some time later. You can look at the receiver and see the volume go up every 5 seconds "out of nowhere".

     

    I think this is likely to reproduce on any device. Unfortunatley the FLIRC IR debugger is not realtime enough to expose this.

    Can you save your remote configuraiton and post that?

    Went back through the ATV settings and I have all restrictions off as well. I cleared the remote back to factory defaults and cleared activities. Reloaded and same results. Are you using the "set top box" device for the ATV? Apple TV Gen4 (media manager) maps all the ATV buttons. ATV flashes as IR is sent from the Skip but nothing happens. AVR buttons are working so I know at least that the Skip IR is working at some level.

    It's the appletv, not the remote. For now, you can go 'learn' new remote in your apple tv.

    I have one idea I can try outside of this, but will need some time.

    Now I understand that the issue is caused when using two devices under the same action; I'm not getting the laggy functionality when one device is used.

    Oh awesome, that would definitely be the cause. I'm going to fix this so we can have a delay that's next to 0ms but default to 1ms.

    However, when I use both the Topping and Pioneer "Volume Up" buttons, it works, but with a large delay and with buffered output (sends signals for about ~20 seconds, every 4 seconds after clicking the volume button a few times).

    I'm not sure I follow this, can you elaborate?

  18. Programming is recorded, but not remembered correctly

    1. If the interkey delay is wrong, how do I manually fix it (and forget the reason, I don't care at this point). Hex editing the config file is OK for me. Whatever I try, it's in 100-110 ms range.

    You can't. Not until I get back to the software and re-write a lot of it and it uses JSON configs like the remoet.

    2. What does it mean "the buttons were not being held down while you are recording"? I clicked a key in Flirc GUI, then I did not press anything on the remote but instead some noise was recorded by Flirc as the pressed key? Or should I first press key on the remote, and while it is pressed click a key in Flirc GUI to learn it (it seems to do not work at all - the GUI seems frozen).

    When you are recording, hold your button down on the remote for a 3 seconds. If you press and lift up your finger, you only capture one of the packets of the remote ,and it has to guess the time between packets.

    3. " any button matched in the table will wake up the device" - what's "the table"? How do I look it up?

    Any recorded button will wake up the device unless you record a button called 'wake'. That will be the only button that wakes the machine.

    4. "Remember to do something about the play/pause duplication." - like what? Record the Play key again? So then I am going to get again a wrong code with 100ms+ delay, right?

    In your config you sent me, there were two buttons called play/pause. I'm not sure if you actually had two buttons for the same function.  Or if when you hit record, one of the recordings actually caught noise, which would now play back a spurious play/pause if it see's that 'noise' again.

  19. 3.27.3 incompatible with Flirc 2 v4.9.6

    Just updated my Flirc app while playing around with my Skip. Getting an error message saying that 3.27.3 is incompatible with the Firmware of the Flirc 2 USB. Flirc app runs, but very slowly and hangs constantly. Never gets 'Connected' in the bottom right corner.

    The old software wont help if you upgraded the firmware. You would need to downgrade the firmware. 

    Are you using an old version of the GUI with a new version of software? Not why the latest GUI?

    I can convert these. I’m just fighting to find time. 

     I am actually about 75% there, I'm just traveling with the family and am pretty stressed out balancing work and trying to do dad stuff for the next week. I brought all my dev tools with me, I'm trying to finish this so you can try it.
