  1. Guys as per my post above on the 15 Aug 2016 it appears that the FLIRC cannot interpret Microsoft Media Center IR codes correctly.
    This means you cannot use an actual Microsoft Media Center remote (nor a Logitech Harmony remote that you've configured as a Microsoft Media Center remote) to:

    1. To send IR codes to the FLIRC and map a key press to this code ie how you normally program it.
      (As you will get the "already exists" errors for other keys such as skip forward & skip back)
    2. Send IR codes to the FLIRC when its plugged into your computer.

    The solutions:

    Hope that helps.

  2. Apologies for my use of "full shutdown". What I should have said is that "...AND Wake now wakes PC from a S3 sleep"
    (I had forgot that I changed the Power off settings in my BIOS from S5 to S3 in order to turn on my PC using Wake On Lan (WoL) and/or input from USB from Flirc)
    Also by installing the Flirc sware you get rid of the "Unrecognised device" in device manager.

  3. IMPORTANT: As at 15/08/2016 Flirc does not properly receive IR codes sent from Harmony device MCE Keyboard.
    Instead use Harmony device Plex Player to send keyboard keys.

    Problem: If using the MCE Keyboard device on your profile Flirc maps different remote buttons (IR codes) to the same keys.
    Reason :This [MCE Keyboard] remote profile is a Microsoft protocol that uses a non-standard frequency.
    Fix: Do NOT use MCE Keyboard device in Harmony if you will be sending to Flirc. Instead use:

    ·        Device: Media Center PC

    ·        Manufacturer: Plex

    ·        Model: Plex Player (not Payer or just Plex)
    (has over 60 buttons including 0-9 and F1 - F12 (probably enough to map all the buttons)

  4. Make sure to install Flirc software on PC Flirc will be plugged into.

    FYI: I configured Flirc on a different PC so until I ran the Flirc.exe on my Win10 box (where Flirc was plugged in) the Flirc was showing up as an unrecognized device in device manager however it was working OK EXCEPT for the "Wake" key (on Flirc Full Keyboard profile) which would only wake from Sleep.
    After running Flirc.exe the Flirc is correctly recognized in device manager AND Wake now wakes PC from a full shutdown.
