on a mac you can do this:
Fire up spotlight, then type; terminal
then do:
/Applications/Flirc.app/Contents/Resources/flirc_util
-
I'm in. I'd love to get this amazing device programmed.
pm me a session id
-
I'll take a video of this
Open up start menu, type run, and then, cmd
Browse to C:\Program Files\Flirc
Then find flirc_util.exe in there
then do:
flirc_util.exe 'commands'
-
I have the same issue of the command line opening ever so briefly, then disappearing. I tried using flirc_util.exe instead of just flirc_util, with the same results.
can we do a team viewer session? I'll show you.

I believe he is referring to the pause/break key, which maps to the PS4 Home button. We need to manually record it via cmd prompt, however as per my previous post, I have not been able to do this due to the error: Warning: Cannot open USB Device whenever I try run record from cmd.
make sure the GUI is not open while you are running the commandline. Either app opens the device exclusively.
-
I think you somenoe mentioned you have to do:
flirc_util.exe record <item>
Don't forget the dot exe
** EDIT **
Was Yawor above

I just got my Flirc in the mail today. How do you program the the record pause? I have access to osx and windows 8.
Thanks!
You have to first figure out what the record/pause button is. Then use my GUI with the full keyboard view.

I'm very sorry for the delay.
So have you had any success with any of the remotes? Let's just rule out to make sure flirc is not defective. Can you try a panasonic or samsung profile? Let me know if that works.
Also, try going to file->advanced, and do a force firmware upgrade.What version do you see in the bottom left when you are doing the upgrade. (this will be the bootloader version).
Thanks and again, I apologize for the delay.

Not yet. Can you tell me which logitech remote you have?
-
pair it on another machine, and it should work
-
I've reproduced this.
Short answer is, it's on the firetv side. I have a way of fixing this, and have something that works over here.
It is a fundamentally big change, we'll see if I can get someone at amazon to listen first. -
I apologize for your frustration. I will make it more obvious when upgrading that pre 3.x configurations are not compatible and repairing your remote is necessary. Please connect with me so I can help trouble shoot this.

Try this:

What harmony are you using? What remote profile are you using on your harmony?

The new Flirc FireTV Harmony Profile does still NOT solve the issue of the Harmony sending multiple commands!
The back button is fine now but the Direction up, down etc. are all sending multiple commands on occasion now!
Still more work to be done on this I think...
Nevermind, I reproduced it. I'll try to tell logitech, but it's a harmony setting. Follow this: https://flirc.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203390449
Leave interkey delay at 5.

Please save your configuration, and post it here.

I see this Flirc FireTV profile has already been added in the Harmony Software as I just had a look and was able to set up a new device using it.
So this should stop the Harmony remote sending commands twice or do we need to wait for the Flirc Firmware update as well?
I have not announced it yet, because they have problems with the profile.
For example, the enter key is not mapped by default to the 'ok' or select button on the remote
Also, they don't have 'back' mapped to the 'back' harmony button either. It's going to cause a lot of confusion, you need to map these manually. Can you actually tell me if that was the case? Which remote do you have?
Otherwise, yes, it will solve these problems. I have my own vendor protocol tuned for flirc.
-
When you say it will be added to Harmony do you mean in the Harmony setup software or in the Flirc Setup software?
a Flirc FireTV profile will be added to the harmony database and a firmware image will be released that has these keys pre-pared.

Gui should be closed. Unplug and plug the module in. Let me know.

I've just bought a FLIRC today and am in the process of trying to set up with PS4.
Using the Flirc iR-USB Harmony Profile it appears no commands are loaded (as in, when I try assign a button on my remote to my FLIRC, there are no keys/commands available), so I think I will have to "teach" the Harmony for every key I want to use? Whereas the XBMC profile already has all the commands mapped it appears.
Once I get that done I'm happy to spend the time doing whatever is required.
I don't have a PS4 profile in my GUI or in the harmony. But you could help me. If you hook up a USB keyboard to your PS4, and try and figure out what keyboard keys do what functions on the playstation and put them in an excel spreadsheet, I'll get you a refund. I would need shortcuts for applications like Plex and Netflix, and Hulu, etc. They are probably all the same across applications.
For the time being, add any remote (panasonic or samsung profile) and then randomly assign keys to your remote buttons of choice. Map these in your flirc to keyboard key shortcuts you find above.

yeah, and twitter, and the web, etc.
But here first.

Hello
I am about to give up trying to get my ortek remote to work with harmony and fire tv.
If I buy a flirc will I be able to use both context menu and info button etc on my harmony 525? Is it easy to set up?
Thank a bunch!
Yes, I keep asking people to be a little patient. A flirc, firetv will be added to harmony in the next day or so. But even if you didn't have a harmony, it will work with any remote.

I found this thread on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/PS4/comments/271maj/usbbluetooth_keyboards_can_control_netflix_app/
But I don't have a PS4, can anyone test this for me?
I'll issue a reward to someone that spends the time putting together USB keyboard shortcuts and PS4. I will use this to extend my graphical user interface for PS4.

ok thanks. i'm not sure you'll be able to pick one up in radioshack as i think i've had it at least 4 years and is probably EOL'd years ago. might be easier to dig thru my stuff to see if i have a different remote.
did try doing the double press thing and was able to get some of the keys working, some said already programmed and with my tests in the command shell weird things happened e.g. programmed number keys and pressed & released 3 button quickly many times and i got things like 332323232333232323232323.
fiddle with the interkey delay would fix that?
might just be easier to find another remote though :)
