Thanks to yawor for his patience and private message - I now understand what he's been saying, set a different device for one of the spare buttons on my remote (I used an LG TV profile) and then trained Flirc to use that. Auto-repeat now working - all good!

Thanks again, yawor - I really appreciate the time you've taken and I'm sorry if I'm being dim but I still don't think this is addressing my problem. You're quite right that this is a universal remote, that's why I picked it. In TV mode it operates the TV correctly. I also want the same remote to operate Kodi on an RPi connected to the same TV. I've tried recording the codes for the RPi using each of the three other modes. DVD and Audio don't work at all - every keypress is recognised by Flirc as being the same one so I get button already recorded errors. In PVR mode I can record the individual keypresses but can only record a single keypress per button, otherwise I get the already recorded error. Using a different remote I was able to record each keypress twice and with that one holding a button down transmitted repeated presses to Kodi, making scrolling through long lists easier. I can't achieve that with this remote. I'm guessing that the problem is because I can't record button down and up presses but that may not be the problem So my question is whether there is something I can do to get the autorepeat working. Thanks again for your help.

Thanks, yawor - I think that's what I have been doing. Best option is the PVR mode but I can only record a single keystroke per button and I can't get autorepeat to work. Not sure how using LG or Samsung setup codes would help: my problem is not operating the TV, it's operating the Kodi on RPi. Sorry if I've misunderstood.

I'm trying to use a Humax RM-F04 remote to control both a TV and Kodi on an RPi. The remote can control four different devices: PVR, TV, DVD and Audio. If I try to use either the DVD or Audio modes for Kodi every keypress is allocated to the same button (digit 1) and I get a "button already recorded" message - erasing buttons, clearing the config or even reinstalling the firmware makes no difference. Using the PVR mode works OK, I can record all the keypresses but holding a button down does not trigger auto-repeat in Kodi. For example, if I hold the Down key I can see it being retransmitted because the indicator light on the remote flashes but in Kodi there is only a single down movement. Previously I used an old Thomson Sky remote which worked well, including auto-repeat. However I had to record each button twice, as described elsewhere in these forums, which may be the thing that enabled auto-repeat. With my Humax remote in PVR mode I can't record a button twice, I just get the button already recorded message. I'd be grateful for any ideas about how I can get past the button already recorded message or any other suggestions - thanks.
