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. -

Is there a plan to implement flirc programming into the Skip software?
yes, we need to catch up on our SkipApp tasks, but definitely.

Long press is for flirc-usb, what's flirc plugged into?
I'm concerned you are a bot. This is your only warning, don't post outside links -

No worries—I'm a developer, too, and I know how it feels when MS decides to change things just for the sake of changing things.
In the upcoming months, I'll be getting a new home theater, so I'll need to reprogram my Skip 1s - I'll drop you a line if I encounter any problems and if necessary, I could even share my RustDesk ID for you to do your magic ;)
yeah that would be great. Thank you.

I was in the same boat - and recalled it had happened previously. Found the following that I had downloaded, presumably from somewhere on this forum, so attaching in case it helps you. Running this and then the application again worked for.
This should have been installed automatically, @morphx do you remember that being installed?
So in doing some reading, window updated react native desktop to 0.78. They recently announced they are throwing out UWP apps in favor of win32 apps. This would fix everything. So we tried it, and unfortunately, it's all fucked up. They broke a ton of shit...
But the good news is they will probably fix it.Honestly, I probably need to spend time on your computer to try and figure this out. I'm glad you found a workaround. I'm really sorry about this.

I just received my new Skip 1s and I cannot get it to be seen on my Mac.
2018 Macbook Pro, macOS 13.2.1
The multicolor button lights up the remote, but with many different cords and restarting the Mac, the remote is never seen.
Can you see anything in system report? Does it show as connected?

Hi, I'm looking for a way to extract my current profile without syncing
Please help
You can save your configuration to a file in the remote. Attached.
You can also enable the admin panel and go to the configuration where you can see the JSON as attached as well. Is that what you were asking?

In my case, running Linux (Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS), this SkipApp-0.9.994-RC version has resolved an issue I had in version 0.9.993-beta. Specifically, in the Device Mappings window, I couldn't select any option from the drop-down menu.
An issue persists: in the main window, under Tips, the videos aren't displayed.
I'm trying out the app before deciding to purchase it. So far, I find it interesting. Thanks. Sorry for my English, I'm writing from Spain.
The videos issue is persistent on a bunch of versions of linux. It is related to the display manager, and honestly, it's not a very big priority because this feature is effectively useless as it is not working as intended and hasn't been updated. We have been debating on removing it entirely for something different. I wouldn't base your purchase on that broken panel. I wish I had the resources for a dedicated linux team, or there was something else besides tauri. But we are stuck due to react native limitations. However, all my doubts about picking react native desktop have been put to rest, as we were able to quickly get the app running on android and ios with a small amount of work. (it's still broken, but the expansion to mobile dream is not a dream anymore).

I've just purchased a Skip 1s and I seem to be running into this or a related issue.
After connecting the remote to the PC, it is not recognised by the app, even though device manager and usbtreeview both see it as connected. The app prompts me to install the supplemental driver, which then requests UAC elevation, and I allow. Despite this the remote is still not recognised.
After opening the remote, I installed the fresh (sealed even) batteries that were provided, and have verified that the remote does have power, since when I press one of the activity buttons it lights up, or the coloured ring lights up when I push the little button with the four colours on it.
Of note is that whilst I do have Steam installed, I have already disabled the Logitech Lamp Array service, since it was suggested by Blackmagic Design as a troubleshooting step for their Speed Editor that was also not being recognised.
The app suggests contacting support with the error code RL1-FD2-LLS0-LGS0, so after a little research, here I am, since most threads seem to be redirected here by @jason
Really, I'm so sorry. This problem is horrible. Can you help by sending us some log files? If you click the three dots, go to accessibility, and enable the admin panel, a wrench should appear in the upper right corner. Click that, go to the logs tab, and open the directory. Then zip it up and attach it; I'll take a look.
When you relaunch the app or restart the PC, are you prompted to install the supplementary driver again?

The copy Icon in the right, and then you can paste that into a file. But this reflects what is currently in the GUI. I'm not sure why you would lose your configuration. Did you update recently?

what a crazy bunch of usb replies. Is this in a hub or externally connected? If so, can you try direct connected?

Hello Jason
Do you need me to try Learning the Remote again before Sending the Logs?
Thanks
Kevin
Yes. Let’s try that, may help.

Hmm. Looks great to me. Can you attach your logs? Go to the log tab, zip up and attach them here.

Hello Jason
The Issue with not being able to Reach the Servers is now sorted, Thanks for that, however.....
I am able to Learn the First Button of the Remote, however, after I am asked to Press and Hold the Second Button, nothing happens.
I have tried going back and Designing the Remote again but the same Issue occurs.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Kevin
Enable the admin panel and then go to the last tab. Press and hold the remote button and send the text in both windows.

I suspect it's because in your power toggle, there is nothing assigned to the off side. Just make sure you duplicate the functionality of the on side there, or populate it with what you need.

I tried a sofabaton and while it’s promising there were a some commands that wouldn’t work with my STB (pretty much 80% of my use-case) so I sent it back to Amazon for refund.
The dumb thing is the 1s was working fine, until I tried to check if the mute button was formatted correctly as it wasn’t working. Of course I noticed the firmware update and updated and now the 1s doesn’t do anything. If only there was some way to reliably roll back to former firmware or maybe even factory reset to see if I could at least have the previous functionality back but despite my sending the required information to flirc I have had no solutions.
it sounds very much like there is no solution: once that firmware is updated some 1s units are not recoverable. Disappointing: I will NOT make the mistake of changing anything on the other 1s I have as that one is still working fine.!
No, it's not bricked. I don't understand why it wouldn't work. When you hit buttons on your remote, does the red light blink 3 times? I'm on my own now with support. Nate's no longer with me.
Sorry for this falling off my plate. I'll help recovery. Can you guys let me know what GUI version you are on? There had been a point where an unreleased alpha would sync a broken config, but that was never officially released. Only if you had gone on to our nightly channel, or reselected the new alpha release. It lines up with these dates though. -

I'm having issues with my first foray into Flirc...
Windows 11, Flirc Gen 2, Skip 1s remote (the Skip 1s works flawlessly with TV and other IR devices, no issues there).
I have the Flirc USB to go in an Nvidia Shield.Downloaded and installed Flirc USB software on PC.
Plugged Flirc into PC USB port, recognised by software, updated firmware successfully.
Flirc logs show nothing of interest (screenshot attached to show IR debugging enabled).
I choose a controller
Choose a button to map (or click go on minimalist), confirm the button starts flashing and says "Press the button to be paired with..."
Press buttons on remote, nothing happens.I've tried multiple remotes, multiple USB ports, have clear line of sight between Flirc USB and remote, but no matter what I do the Flirc never seems to receive an IR signal.
This is upsetting and I'm sorry to hear about it. Can we do a quick test. Close the GUI, and then fire up command prompt, and do the following:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Flirc\flirc util.exe" unit test
What is the result? -
