I received my Flirc today, so I'm pretty new to this.
I'm using Flirc on Linux and I'm trying to control mpd (music player daemon) through a combination of triggerhappy, mpc and a generic remote control. My problem right now is that if I don't immediately release a button on the remote control, I get a series of keydown/keyup events.
My remote apparently sends alternating codes, accordingly I have programmed two "button presses" for each event Flirc generates. That seems to work and I don't think it is the cause of my problem.
Originally, I did get a sequence of keydown, (repeated) keypressed, keyup events. However, the keys themselves always were a combination of only(!) modifier keys.
Tinkering around I did lots of irreproducible stuff in the GUI (Flirc program) and command line tool (flirc_util). Along the way I *may* have updated the firmware. Here's what I currently have:
$ ./flirc_util settings
flirc_util version v1.2.6 [v1.2.6]

$ ./flirc_util status
Last upgrade attempt: Error
The latter output is surprising and the "Error" does not disappear when I "force upgrade" from the GUI.
Any hints how to solve this?
