  2. firmware update(s) messed up through GUI; no wake from sleep

    in GUI Bugs

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    Just received my flirc yesterday.

    My setup: box - XBMC Openelec running off USB 3.0 stick on old Dell Vostro notebook; remote - Logiech Harmony 620; Flirc GUI v1.3.0 installed on Win7 machine.

     

    I programmed the remote through Logiech software with profile Flirc/XBMC, then mapped buttons and it works like a charm with my box. The only problem is that it does not wake the box from sleep ("suspended") mode. I did some searching and conluded that I need to enable sleep detection (GUI>File>Advanced>). So now I started dealing with the GUI...

     

    Every time I start the GUI against Flrc I am asked to upgrade firmware, even if I just did it. If I decline to upgrade then nothing in the GUI works ("unsupported firmware"). Obviously I do press Yes to upgrade. Then I enable (checkmark) "sleep detection" to address my wake problem and in order to submit the change to the device I press "Force FW upgrade". At this point I have a message box asking me if I want to upgrade from v3.3 to v3.2 , I do confirm it and it looks like the upgrade goes through. After that I attach Flirc back to the box but it does not respond to remote at all.

     

    After some playing I found a way to restore Flirc to it's original working condition (without wake functionality) - run GUI, yest to upgrade, file>clear configuration, exit GUI.

     

    Hope this will be helpful as feedback.

     

    Still want to have ability to wake the box when I fire the activity on my Harmony remote. Thank you.

     

    P.S. just want to add that my wireless usb mouse does wake up the box - what I want to say is that waking is possible on my box

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

  7. Flirc-se setup issues / stable firmware / wake

    I also bought the Flirc-SE for a Streacom case and have the exact questions regarding the wake function. I've emailed Jason and he wrote:

     

     

    So there is a new firmware underway that supports the feature!

    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.

  8. inter-key delay being ignored?

    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.

  19. Ubuntu 14.10 x64 Can't load a saved config

    in GUI Bugs

    Hi, thanks for the info.

    OK, when I save it using the command line, it automatically saves it with the correct extension

    ie if I type in

    flirc_util saveconfig ~/Desktop/my_flirc_config

    it saves the config file as "my_flirc_config.fcfg"

    The good news is that this file is now automatically listed by the GUI, & by manually renaming the other backup configs that I've done, they now show up too. I haven't actually loaded one of the files though, as my flirc is doing nearly everything that I need it to currently.

    awesome

  21. Ubuntu 14.10 x64 Can't load a saved config

    in GUI Bugs

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    GUI Version 1.3.0

    Firmware Version: 3.3

    Ubuntu Version 14.10 x64

     

    When saving a config the GUI doesn't give it a file extension.

     

    When trying to load a config, the GUI can't list any type of files, so it is impossible to load a pre-saved config because it can't list anything.

     

    The drop-down to select which type of files are shown only gives the option of "flirc config" - which doesn't allow anything to be displayed.

     

    The files that is saves, even though it can't load them in again, appear to be small binary files, so the saving option is apparently doing something promising :)

     

    Apart from this bug though, I have got my flirc pretty much up & running as I want it to, so cheers for a great product. I've got one other thing that I'll post seperately, as it isn't connected.

    Hey thanks this is a great find. I'll fix this.

     

    One thing you can do temporarily is save with the commandline application;

     

    flirc_util saveconfig `filename`

     

    and

     

    flirc_util loadconfig `filename`

     

    you can always add the extension to the config too and load it with the gui.

     

    Again thank you.

  23. FLIRC from Amazon refuses to recognize remotes or update firmware- advice?

    in General Questions

    It's definitley something with windows. It's not able to read the version correctly and then most subsequent commands are probably failing. Close the gui. Unplug Flirc plug it back in and try again. I'm really sorry, there are some instances with windows this happens and I can not reproduce it. Maybe I can send you a version that will give me logging information if the above does not work. Let me know.
