ohhh. Firetv uses bluetooth, flirc uses IR. If you want to use your firetv with your computer, this unfortunately wont work with flirc.

Did you use the firetv window in my GUI?

Can you turn off built in profiles under file->advanced?

What fw version are you one?

As long as you use a remote with enough keys, you can use my GUI to pair any keyboard key. There are some good IR Remotes with keyboards on the back.

I can make an apple remote GUI, no problem. Let me add that to the list. Long presses is a planned feature, just finished releasing my new product. I will return to firmware shortly. My day job at NVIDIA is very demanding until christmas. Although people think this is conceptually very easy, this is a huge, difficult, and complex challenge. It adds a lot of complexity to the GUI and firmware. I've started working my way towards it, but it's no easy task, especially on this microcontroller which is optimized to hell. It's old. I know I keep saying I'm working on it, but it breaks so many architectural concepts and programming principals in the GUI. I'll get it.

File->Advanced. Make sure enable sleep detection is enabled. Any key should wake up the machine, UNLESS, you've recorded the wake button on the full keyboard controller view. If you have recorded the wake button, then only the wake button will wake the machine (to prevent accidents). Let me know if that helps, works, if you have trouble.

Are you using a public image, or a stable release? Sounds like a beta image?

I'm working on fixing this now

looks like the libusb version that's getting installed is pretty old. Can you install libusb-1.0 and libusb-1.0-dev

there is a small bug, I'm working on as we speak. Relaunch the gui with sudo. let me know if that works for now.

fire up the latest gui, go to file->advanced, force firmware upgrade. The latest versions of the GUI should ask you if you want to upgrade.

Yes, I released 3.3 and was trying to get this in, but figured out that I need a GUI change which supports that button. I'm going to try to bang this out soon.

yes, I need to update my command utility so you can delete them by index, they don't show up, however, you can do flirc_util delete, and then hit the button on your remote, that should do it. Yes, sounds like harmony is ignoring it. It wouldn't be the first time. On my harmony, If I press the button twice in 20ms, it will insert a delay of 1s in between them, always. So if I hit the key 10 times, it takes ten f&*$@#'n seconds to get to my tv.

yeah still working on it, but just open up a command prompt, and type: sudo Flirc It runs as super user, I just can't figure out why it wont run without elevated privileges

upgrade to firmware 3.3

that's a really old firmware version and probably a really old bootloader. You're f**ed. Okay, just kidding. The flirc is, but I'll just send you a new one. Shoot me your address on support@flirc.tv

are you on fw v3.3?

I can reproduce this. So strange. Any rate, I will have a fix by tonight. It's just a matter of time before I solve it.

I think it's just missing a dependency.... can you run the gui manually: /usr/local/bin/Flirc What does it spit out? Thanks, I'm looking into this.

followed up with you on pm. Let's get it sorted out. (Would totally love the laptop to debug, I'll send it back too). :)

yeah there is only one xbmc profile, make sure you are on the latest firmware, v3.3. It has some updates built in as well as solve some important issues.

you're on fw v3.3?

As long as you do your pairing on one machine, you can use it on any other without any additional software. Make sure the GUI is closed, unplug/plug it back in, there should be no reason why it works after programming on one machine and not the other. Let me know.

awesome
