Interesting... Disabling Ubuntu 14.04 "Desktop Sharing" did in fact speed up Plex remote response.... a little bit. Under a second now per press in Plex (still instantaneous in the Flirc virtual keyboard)... not great... but getting there.

Yeah that's what I figured.... Does it just show up as a good ol HID? Is there any running Flirc processes (that I can monitor)? My linux-fu for drivers is not up to speed. modprobe and I have never really been friends. I'm assuming based on lsusb that yours is the "Clay Logic" ID 20a0:001? I'm remoted in and that is all I see except an Intel device and a Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub. It is weird though when VNC'ing in, aka "Remote Desktop" or whatever Ubuntu calls it, while connected the Flirc configuration tool just connects/disconnects repeatedly at the Desktop. Once I quit my VNC session, Flirc config sees the dongle. 50% is a lot, I agree. To be fair though, it's an Intel Compute Stick running an Atom (quad core evidently). The bluetooth keyboard though has no lag issues. Tried a normal usb keyboard as well, no lag issues. Kodi acts the same. Considering Plex Home Theatre IS XBMC on the backend, any delays for one I would expect to see with the other.

Interestingly, perhaps this has something to do with it. I have remote desktop enabled so I can connect through VNC. I noticed that when I try to control the box with VNC the app keeps trying to connect to the FLIRC and then immediately disconnects. Perhaps some kind of resource issue?

Hello all, First, I only ask questions when I am truly stumped (I do IT for a living, so its a pride thing)... with that in mind... I am stumped. Flirc installed and working, FW 1.3.6, App 3.6 64 bit, Ubuntu 64 bit, 14.04. Remote: Harmony 300 I've programmed it, the virtual keyboard responds to all my remote presses customized for Plex. The virtual keyboard is fast. If I press a button on the remote, it's displaying, no delay or lag. Go into Kodi or Plex... sloooooooow. About a second, second and a half between responses. It also now seems to forget some keys like pause (space) or play (P). Only the arrow keys, OK and stop / exit work. I ran a "top" while doing so from ssh. Plex is running about 50% cpu (I didnt check with Kodi). Ideas welcome. I don't think the remote is at fault (there are many "my harmony 300 is slow") posts, because the virtual keyboard is snappy. It's only when I get into the media center application that is gets slow... and forgets its programming. I have left Flirc open while in the media center and it is the same issue. Ideas?
