  1.  

    This was ordered through Amazon, so not sure how you could issue a refund. I created an RMA but have the option to cancel it.

     

    Sold by: Flirc Inc.

     

     

    PM me your paypal address and I'll just sent you retail pricing. 

    I refuse to give up on you. I'm really sorry for your frustration, I absolutely acknowledge the issue, and it's pretty important to me that this gets fixed. It's really just me here and I poor my heart into flirc. So negative feedback hurts.

    I actually found out about these keys not working at all in windows media center because windows expects ctrl then the letter p while ctrl is still pressed down. And then the reverse for released. So I re-architected my sending keys which is now a ring buffer. I automatically insert these sequences into my buffer.

     

    I'm sure I can get it, it's just a matter of me screwing up timing or maybe I'm screwing up my ring buffer and not inserting the sequencing fast enough and another key comes in.

    Hang in there, I spent so much time on windows media center already, I'm not about to give up now.

     

    I was stuck for a week on a pretty large windows issue; If the firmware version doesn't read correctly, nothing works. Each firmware version has a number of firmware related features so these features dynamically get allocated when the device is opened. Windows didn't always read the firmware version correctly (couldn't do almost anything correctly) and hence a number of people had zero functionality to program anything in windows. It's not wide spread, but the few that see it, bitch, and return it. It's one of those things where I need a system to debug, and I have a handful of windows systems and none of them reproduce it. I finally had a nice enough customer who let me work on his machine remotely and I figured it out. It's been causing a lot of sleepless night and I can finally publish a release tonight.

    This is next. Hang in there, I'll get it.

  2. ah thank you so much, that was extremely helpful.

    Interesting remote, I'll have to pick one of those up. But I'm also betting that's the problem. 

    I'm going to put some documentation together that describes what all those stupid advanced settings are.

     

    I think the remote is actually sending out too many keys every time you push the button, and I'll try to prove it when I get a remote.

    How configurable is it? I know the harmony has a debug interface that lets you troubleshoot settings and there is one in particular ("my device is seeing too many keys"), or something like that.

  3. I'm going to respond here so others can benefit. Thank you Chris for bringing this to my attention.

     

    It can only be one of two things, the computer, or the remote. Flirc doesn't introduce any delays. 

     

    Because you have a harmony, I'm going to point my finger at that. Go into your settings, and troubleshoot the specific remote. There is something that says 'device takes too long to respond' or something like that.

    If the problem is between successive presses, there is a delay, there isn't anything we can do about that if this is a harmony one or below. Harmony screwed this up and we can't fix it. There are countless threads on it, and I even talked to them directly. I don't use my own because of it, it's nonsense.

  4. That's cool ... for all USA customers. The rest of the world has to pay ~37 EUR a piece (including p&p). I wanted 2-3 more  :(

     

    Happy New Year :)

    I don't have international sales turned on for amazon, but like ImCokeMan said, you can order through me for international orders.

  5. Nice work, Jason. Thanks. As far as I can tell it all works like it's supposed to. The only thing I noticed is that what you are calling the "app menu" button on your image is actually referred to as "Options" on Fire TV.

     

    This is all new to me. I just got a Fire TV for Xmas and was surprised to learn that I can't teach the commands to my universal remotes because they're RF instead of IR. So I found this forum, bought a Flirc, and now all is well. Thanks again.

     

    ah, good catch, that'll be in the next release. I updated the text. 

    Thanks so much for the kind feedback.

  6. Also need a fix.

    What I really don't understand, why are you selling stuff that doesn't work yet?

    Okay, there is an update: 

     

    You'll need to upgrade your firmware, and for the mean time, use the commandline and do the following:

     

    flirc_util record power

     

    You'll also want to enable 'sleep detect' in the advanced section of the GUI. That's used to make sure your computer is not on so that you don't accidentally hit the power signal.

     

    I'm really really sorry this took so long, my day job had me going 16 hour days this month and that wasn't anticipated. I didn't have any free time.

  7. almost there: Works exactly like the FTV-Remote-Back Button but if you press it only a little time to long (~0,5s, maybe even shorter) it sends double-key-presses. Tried different inter-key-delay-settings but made no difference.

    this is an artifact of the remote. amazon's remote's back button presses one button, a one shot if you will, your remote is sending a regular signal which is a key, pressed, and held.

     

    Let me think about what I can do on my end.
