  1. UGHH I spoke too soon. Of course it couldn't be that simple. :( Guess it was a fluke that it accepted the keys because I started getting the "already exists" errors for other keys such as skip foward & skip back, record among others. I can understand why it thinks there are duplicate because when I press certain keys the wrong one is highlighted on the GUI. For example pressing the UP or DOWN key on remote shows DOWN being pressed in the GUI. Pressing pause key on remote shows DOWN on GUI. Something to note is sometimes sequence modifiers comes unchecked on its own. Very strange indeed. This is very frustrating! Bill
  2. OK I feel like an idiot because it was so simple but in my defense I only found the answer by chance looking for beta GUI. From a May 2015 post: http://forum.flirc.tv/index.php?/topic/1799-gui-v137-rc1/ That did the trick! So perhaps consider setting that option automatically in the GUI if WMC remote is chosen or have it on the remote screen itself? Or heck even a foot note would be helpful. :) Thanks for a very cool gadget! Bill
  3. I'm running into the same dilemma.. Using original Windows Media Center remotes FLIRC complains "button already exists" for certain buttons such as up vs down. At 1st I thought I was hitting wrong buttons because of the weird way the on screen remote is sideways (as in on screen upward pointing one being Right not UP as would be expected, the one pointing left is UP etc. Surely someone must realize it was bad idea to have the remote sideways on screen.. lol) but I'm basing it on what is shown when hovering over an onscreen key & which it says to press as in "Press the key to be paired with UP". To be sure I even cleared configuration & started over multiple times in different order & still run into the same errors.. If I do UP 1st then DOWN says it already exists. If I do DOWN 1st then it says UP already exist etc. I also tried Inteset INT-422 remote choosing Windows Media Center for the remote type which works perfectly with the USB dongle that came with my original WMC remote so I know it's set right but I run into the same issue. I get that I can choose some other device like an unused DVD player or such but why does FLIRC not work with WMC remote or remote profiles on universal remote? Surely those keys can't really be duplicates or the original remotes wouldn't work. Btw the FLIRC arrived with 3.6 firmware & I upgraded to 3.8. Thanks Bill
