  1. I've done that twice, called you twice both times leaving callback numbers on voicemail or contact info including order numbers on previous shipments that did not reach me. ( this was mid last year. I got no reply so I tried a few months later. ) Still nothing. 

    Im now having the same problem as the OP with a different Flirc which led me here. 

    @Ryancharies, I've confirmed with JMCSN that he was not getting my responses. Please check your spam box. If you can't find it, PM me your email/and address.

  2. I cant get Flirc to work at all on my Fire TV 2 (4k). I also have a 1st Gen Fire TV and everything works like a charm (Flicr + Harmony)

    On the Fire TV 2 i do not get ANY response. Do i have to do anything on the Fire TV 2 itself to install? on the old one i just plugged in Flirc and everything worked.

    Thank you guys

    Should definitely work on the second generation, the only thing that's really been reported is not responding to the home button.

    Amazon is going to release an update on their end to fix the home button, there is a temporary solution in the mean time:  http://forum.flirc.tv/index.php?/topic/1987-amazon-tv-home-button-not-working-with-harmony-remote/#comment-11526

  3. The latest version should show logging, but I'm a bit blown away that the OS crashes. Is that right?

    Can you try another USB slot? Maybe put it on a hub?

    The gui can log, but really, it shouldn't crash the operating system.

    What version of Windows do you have?

  4. Thanks so much for following up. Yes, it's just me here, and I'm working full time at NVIDIA, it's really been killing me, I have a lot going on. I don't always see the posts in the forum.

    The method provided by digitalb0y is in-fact the best way to get a hold of me and track support tickets. 

    @JMCSN doest the gui detect it, and then when you click to record a key, does it just get stuck in, 'press a button on your remote to pair with 'a''?

  5. I think I'll add some official support in the GUI for this. Help me out a bit so I can make sure I add the right stuff and it's fully stable.

    Grab the latest GUI, 1.3.7, go to file->advanced, force firmware upgrade. 

    You'll need to re-pair your keys. Pair ctrl+P again and then go to advanced and enable sequence modifiers. 

    Let me know if that fixes it.

  6. I'm going to release an update to address the basic functionality of shield soon. 

    Outside of Kodi, can anyone tell me what the mapping is for the most basic functionality of mimicking the shield remote?

    Can anyone confirm the following for me.

    Can you record the "home" key from the firetv controller in my desktop app and see if that brings you home?

    Also the other key is the return key, did anyone figure out what that maps too on a keyboard?

  7. I have notice throughout my website which states that shipping takes up to 8 weeks depending on the country's customs. 

    I'm not sure why, but 1/3 orders being sent to Israel would not wait, complain to paypal, and get a free unit. Even after trying to politely explain to them and paypal what the issue is. Paypal sided in favor of the customer and I'm at a loss every time.

    So I decided to my only option was to enforce a more expensive shipping option that is tracked and insurable. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience.

    I'm trying to find someone in Israel that will distribute for me, and haven't had any luck. If you know of an appropriate store you can refer me too, I would really be grateful.

    Again, sorry for the inconvenience.

  8. It's not your fault. My software should really tell you, 'hey, there is updated software, you should get it'. It should also have said, 'this version of firmware is not compatible with your current version of software, to use this hardware, please upgrade to the latest release'

    It was a bit of a learning experience for me. I didn't realize that I should be checking for these things when I released the first version of software, so it has no notion of newer hardware than it can support. It wasn't until I realized I needed to make changes that I screwed up and would render older software incompatible by not doing this check. 

    So at some point in between, I started doing this check.

    Don't feel bad, it's my responsibility as a product designer to think of these things. I apologize for the frustration and inconvenience.

    Let me know if you have any other trouble.
