couldn't reproduce it, mine is working fine. It's gotta be a setting. How are you doing back? There is no xbmc back button?

I'll try this shortly.

it's definitely a setting in the harmony, give me some time so I can look into it and try and reproduce it.

Head to file->advanced, then force firmware upgrade.

If you are on firmware version 3.5, try interkey delay of 6

latest being version 3.5? Fire up the commandline application in the installation folder, you'll need a prompt. then do flirc_util.exe settings It will tell you all the recorded keys. Let me know, we'll figure it out.

How do you get the firetv to sleep/wake without flirc?

I've missed a lot of cries for help, and I apologize sincerely for that. Those who have been emailing me for the older firmware, I've been pretty good at sending that out. But shouldn't be needed anymore.

Hey guys, this is fixed. Download the latest GUI and upgrade to the latest firmware image. Sorry this took long, a nice user sent me a verizon remote and I got this worked out pretty quick short after. Get GUI version 1.3.4. Make sure you're on version firmware 3.5

please let me know if it fixes it or not.

okay, just released a firmware update, should fix it

Thanks Chris. Just sent a refund, the bulk of the conversation will take place here:

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.

I'll issue you a refund, but I'd like to encourage you to hang on to it. There is another thread going on about this too. I just solved a windows problem, and I'm going to solve this next.

which model do you have?

I think I might pick up one of these remote. What about if you program with your wd remote, and then use it with your wd remote? I think this remote is doing something funny.

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.

"If I set intra-key delay to 1-6, then I can repeat by holding down a button, but if I press any key several times it will stick and give me a string of repeats randomly. " That would be helpful. Thanks so much.

Is there any chance I can trouble you to post a video somewhere?

I'm definitely going to make a help article out of this. Thanks so much for the patience, and I'm glad you're up and running.

yes, can you use the beta for now: it's a static compile, wont have this problem until I work out a new distro package

awesome, thanks for letting us know, thanks Chris as well.

yeah, it'll work now. I really hate windows, I'm going to try and resolve windows problems now, it's just killing me the stupid shit windows does.

Feel free to reach out to me and we can do a team viewer session.
