I understand, it gets a bit complicated. I also have distributors that I don't want to directly compete with and their enabled and encouraged to use amazon. Where are you from in particular? Do you mean you want to go to amazon.com and order an international order, or amazon.co.uk etc?

The only way I can do that is do fulfillment by merchant, which I don't really want to do with Amazon. You can order through me, I ship internationally. flirc.tv

Go to advanced, then force firmware upgrade. You should have also been prompted to upgrade the remote. Try using the latest GUI, it's a universal build. What is the GUI version you tried?

**EDIT ** Sorry, forgot the most important part. Once you get the gui, go to File->Force Upgrade. That loads the embedded version that's in the GUI release

http://downloads.flirc.tv/release/gui/ Find your OS, and try Gui Version v1.3.3 GUI version v1.3.3 has fw v1.3.4 which has a very subtle and important difference between v1.3.5 and v1.3.6. Can you guys give that a shot?

"- TRANSIENT: interruptions where flirc stops working across all apps and then somehow fixes itself." This could be because you have the GUI open. Please don't leave the GUI open, it's not required for normal operation, just pairing. - CONSTANT: flirc gui itself mis-reporting what keys are actually being pressed for a given IR This is probably because of your host operating system keyboard selection. I think this was mentioned previously. My GUI doesn't honor what you selected as your OS keyboard, it doesn't remap the keys. So if you are using an international keyboard, this will cause it too.

I'll try and grab one of those remotes, but I don't think those run at the right frequency. My receiver is tuned at 38khz and microsoft tends to use 56kHz.

I'll fix that GUI bug. Harmony one is IR. The Harmony Ultimate can add the firetv profile as well, it was just for testing.

fire up a terminal. Type: sudo Flirc Does that work?

I have confirmed with them that there are bugs on certain harmony remotes with repeats. I have the harmony one, I don't have the repeat problem, I also just got an ultimate, and that has the issue. I will try to get a list of remotes that have the issue.

If there was a power surge, it's very likely the unit could be damaged. You should make sure you have a surge protector on the line into the pi, I don't have anything for such an event on my device. Feel free to reach out to me for a replacement.

can you post a pic to your comcast infinity remote? fstrife, I'm going to pick one of these up, I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for posting a link.

You can over-ride any keys you would like. Simply load the harmony profile, and record them again (even though they are already mapped). This is intentional. There are a lot of problems with the current profile, and I'm very aware of them. I'm in touch with logitech, and we are cleaning it up and working on new profiles. I don't have a timeline, but will definitely make an announcement on the blog. Thanks Duren.

Logitech has issued recent updates to their remotes, make sure you update your profiles. As for other remotes, it's strictly amazon's issue. It's their keyboard input delay. It's like 40ms or something stupid. If you grab their remote they sell with the fire tv and emulate pushing the button as you would a larger gummy remote button, it also feels sticky. I've told them, and can only convince them when enough people complain to them. I can't do anything on my end. It would be a hack for a single device that would cause problems on everything else. I keep in touch with them, so maybe I can convince them sooner than later.

Just got in more yesterday. Fixed and updated. Thank you for pointing that out. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Can you send or post your config?

make sure the gui is closed. Unplug, then plug in the device.

were you manually pairing remote control buttons or are you using the built in profiles only?

is it the same random signal?

shoot me an email: flirc.tv/contact

when you try to map a key, the GUI says, "press any key to pair with 'x',". Do you mean you hit a remote control button and nothing is pairing? Can you try a different remote? If the second remote doesn't work, let me know. We'll get you a replacement.

what kind of remote, and what kind of device?

that doesn't really work anymore, I'll disable that and it's only there as a backup. Go to file->advanced, and do a force firmware upgrade.

Could very well be the usb port in your laptop. Maybe it's ultra noisy, or under powered. If you had a hub, you can try that. Otherwise I'm really not sure why it would be acting up. I've never heard of this misbehavior and I'm really very sorry for all the trouble. You also shouldn't need to program or pair xbmc keys, they are pre-pared with the flirc. Just add the xbmc harmony profile, and that should be it. Make sure you are on the latest firmware which is 3.6. Again, really sorry about all this. = (
