There are two hardware sku's. try to upload with nemo first. if it fails, use dori.
Built in profiles are disabled in this one. I'll add proper support for this going forward so you can remove any one. Let me know if this solves your needs in the interim.

Okay, this is going to take a bit of work to do right, but I'm just going to post a firmware image here that has WMC disabled. I'll make it so you can disable / enable any one of them. Give me a second.

Okay, so I've been looking at this all day with a USB analyzer and scope. Unfortunately, everything is looking correct, but I have some ideas.
Here is what I'm seeing. When the host is sleeping, gen1's USB+ and USB- lines go into the resume state. When the 'wake' signal gets sent. It's sending a K-state for roughly a second, well beyond the spec. All this is, is when the D+ and D- signals switch polarity. You can see that in the image where it says keep alive.
Now with Gen2, I see the exact same thing. It's much shorter, and controlled via the chip. The spec only says 1second to 15 seconds.Fully within spec, here it is:
The two obvious things that are different are:
- Gen1 is out of spec, too long
- Gen2 is reversed
Gen2 being reversed is okay. Gen1 is operating at low speed USB while gen2 is operating at full speed.
So there could be a few things causing this:
- Gen1 is out of spec, but it's a good thing?
- Gen2 is full speed vs gen1 low speed
- Gen2 is not actually detecting when your computer is going to sleep.
I'm suspecting that it's not 1. It would be crazy to think that you have to run the device out of spec in order for it to wake the host.
I'm hoping it is 2. as that's a relatively easy fix.
3 is hardest to prove. I would need to send you guys a modified unit with an LED that turns on when the host is sleeping. When it's not working, is the led on? If it's not, than flirc is not detecting the host go to sleep.
So attached is a firmware image to try with flirc running in low speed mode. (the bootloader will still be full speed, so upgrades will be fast still).
Let me know if this seems any better. If not, we'll figure out how to do #3.

@sssst okay, that's good to know. And so I'm guessing you have a WMC remote or setup in the same room and it's conflicting?
-
Thanks! our second girl, been a tough month to say the least and the office was necessary because I couldn't get anything done at home anymore.
@Robawesome, can you clarify, when it was receiving commands from your Blue Ray player, was that gen1 or gen2? Can you fire up advanced settings with gen1 plugged in, do you have built-in-profiles enabled?
@sssst, okay, this makes sense. I actually have a WMC profile built in, particularly for streacom, but it should work with inteset remotes. What remote are you using with firetv? Inteset?
-
I have the same issue with Flirc sending WMC remote commands to my Fire TV. I'm unable to use Flirc because of this. I don't see much support for this device. I will be returning it.
I am going to fix this. It's just me, I just move the business out of the home, and into an office, and am back at work now. Plus we had a baby two weeks prior to this thread.
Can you guys give me some information on the WMC profile that's on your harmony? How did you add it, manufacturer, and device. I'll reproduce this and push out a fix.
Sorry for the delays. No need to return it, just need a nudge.
-
Yes, it's in progress. A bit tricky to figure out what exactly was going on for certain in gen 1. I'm almost there guys. Going to scope thi signals tomorrow.
-
Can you make sure that you are running your command prompt in administrator mode? I think you right click and 'run as administrator' Does the GUI work?
-
Congratulations on your arrival Jason.
i have read all 7 pages hoping for a fix to this problem and I'm glad there could be a fix soon.
Any update when this may be released? It's a pain to keep unplugging and plugging flirc in and out all the time.
thanks for all your hard work
I am moving into my office right now. I will be pushing something this week for you guys to try. Very sorry for the delay guys. Appreciate the patience and support.
-
I'm going to get to this very shortly. Hang in there. I'm moving into a new office.
-
Ah! they use infrared, it was probably flooding the flirc sensor. Thanks so much, great find.
-
Zadig is only for gen1. Let's set up a remote session, I'll help you fix it.
-
which harmony do you have? And which flirc version do you have?
-
Yes, so just save from the first and load onto the second. There is about a 15% chance it wont work, the hashes created can be different on the new one. Let me know.
-
Did it ever work?

Guys hang tight. I believe we have a solution, which is to port over what I did in flirc V1. I need some time. Holy shit has life been rough:
- New baby
- daughter started pre-school and we're all sick, wife, daughter, and 3 week old baby are all on antibiotics
- I entered into a contract with DHL to handle domestic and international shipping. Holy shit what a bunch of fuck ups. I'm on the phone all day with angry customers because they over sold their product and all shipments take 5x as long.
- Suppose to move business into a small office so someone else can ship, asshole realtor decided to extort everyone for a bunch of money they day we were supposed to sign a lease. (I didn't)
Hopefully lease on another building should go through soon, and life can be somewhat back to normal next week. I apologize for the delay. This is first on my list when I can return.
I'll post some firmware as soon as I can.
-
Thanks. Congrats on the baby, I understand you're preoccupied!
I'll try do that. So, just run CMD and type the directory followed by flirc_util.exe?
Cheers
yeah. Post back here if you are having trouble. Sorry for falling off the planet. Been rough.
-
Just me here. Just had a baby and we're all sick as dogs.
You need to use command prompt. The windows terminal. Migrate to the flirc folder and type flirc_util.exe record power
very sorry. I can't do tech support over the phone at the moment.
-
No idea why the first wasn't picking up commands. It's the same profile for the gen 1 and gen 2? On your harmony, how many profiles do you have that are involved on the setup? Is it one for the fire tv ad one for the media center?
-
Remote batteries? Could be the issue. Don't worry. Warranty shwarmanty. I'm the boss. You're covered.
-
Also, thank you for the feedback, really means a lot. It's just me here, and helps keep me pushing forward.

Hey Greg, I'm a bit backed up at the moment, but this is the current functionality. Soon, I will add a feature which will allow you to use a single key as the wakeup button, so the other buttons will be ignored.
Sorry for the inconvenience. I'm also going to add a section to my website that shows what I'm working on for better visibility. This is probably going to get done in the next couple weeks as a firmware update.
Thanks Greg, sorry for the inconvenience.
-
Thanks for testing that guys.
-
Okay, I will attempt a change in the flirc gen 2 to match gen 1 wakeup routine. Give me a few days.
Flirc Gen 2 - Fire TV picks up Media center commands

Definitely didn't upgrade. Try it again. If it's stalled for a even a minute unplug it and plug it back in. Don't close the GUI
When you start the software after a failed upgrade it will load the embedded version, and in this case is the known non working one.
When did you get your flirc and are you using windows? Windows upgrades are always a bit more trouble, but they should work.
When all is said and done the firmware version in the lower left corner should match the one on the file name. 4.0.18
