  5. Flirc Continues Endless Keypresses on Harmony 650

    in Firmware Bugs

    Posted

    mine's used with a harmony ultimate. flirc 1.3.6 with firmare 3.6.

    i am not sure if the problem was in before, but lately, i've had scripts that did automatic configuration changes to the flirc. it didn't seem to like that too much, and at some point the driver/firmware got corrupted. i reinstalled the driver and firmware and mostly things seem to work now.

    one thing that still seem screwed up is the modifier keys. ctrl, alt, and shift mostly seem to be getting stuck and keep being sent although i can see on the harmony hub that nothing is being sent IR-wise.

    so if i have a combination of shift-alt-F7, then mostly, after i use it, the shift-alt are still being pressed, and if i hit F9, it'll actually do shift-alt-F9. this is pretty bad, as if i have only alt as a modifier, then things really go crazy since alt does shortcuts with many things.

    i had to remove all modifiers from everything in order to get things not to go haywire.

  10. Flirc + Plex + Harmony One = Confusion

    in How To

    Posted · Edited by itay_bia

    i used the old way for configuring PLEX with the harmony remote and flirc. in this approach, we configure the harmony with a device that has a lot of IR codes that are different from one another. using this approach it lets me do all sorts of things with keyboard shortcuts, namely using AutoHotKey to configure commands not in the PLEX command list.

     

    here's a word document with my mappings using the Panasonic TC-P65VT30 device in the harmony remote:

    about the AHK scripts:

    the first script i've created in AHK that i'll mention uses the numpad of the remote to enter letters. this is particularly useful for the search option in PLEX. essentially, the script sends letters while pressing the number buttons of the remote repeatedly like you usually do on the TV or older phones with no keyboard.

    so, for instance, if i want to write abg3 i'll be able to do that with the remote by: pressing 2, wait second (or press Alt-Shift-F8), pressing 2 twice, pressing 4 once, pressing 3 4 times

    the Keypad-Letters script can be found at:

    this script also uses Alt-Shift-F8 (which i mapped through flirc as well) to stop the 1 second timer so that you could write other characters from the same number immediately.

     

    the second script always runs on the PC (it is in my startup folder) and the extra keyboard shortcuts in it do this:

    Alt-Shift-F10 - opens the plex client (theater) and the Keypad-Letters script

    Alt-Shift-F9 - stops the Keypad-Letters script (useful to assign this to the harmony remote, to be called when going out of the PLEX activity. otherwise, the script will change digits when you're running windows outside the plex client)

    hope you find this useful.
