Almost there. Missing a dependency - libhidapi-hidraw. On a fresh install, I get this on startup. flirc_util: error while loading shared libraries: libhidapi-hidraw.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory After installing libhidapi-hidraw the Flirc gui does open and appears to work, but with a lot of shell noise like: Can't load 'test.ini' [D] lib/libflirc/flirc_driver.c fl_major_version(391): something bad happened [D] lib/libflirc/flirc_driver.c fl_minor_version(381): something bad happened [D] lib/libflirc/flirc_driver.c fl_patch_version(401): something bad happened [D] lib/libflirc/flirc_driver.c fl_major_version(391): something bad happened etc, etc, etc.

Nevermind. Server was not working a while ago, it's up now. For anyone else with this problem (virtually everyone not using RPM) you can find the debs here -> http://apt.flirc.tv/arch/x64/binary/

The repository still doesn't have a release file (since 2016) and the static version will never connect. Could we please just get a deb file to download ASAP so I can use my TV? I really don't want to go through bypassing security just to install this app. I will, but I shouldn't have to.

The Flirc program does nothing but program the Flirc itself. After that the device is simply seen as a usb keyboard. As far as launching a program with keystrokes, that will depend on what OS you are using. So what you really need to do is Google how to launch a program via keyboard with your chosen OS. There are dozens of ways to do it in Linux; in Windows I haven't a clue.

That makes all the sense in the world. Just being lazy here because I have a few remotes to re-program, but this is good info for folks upgrading. Now... bring on the long press!!! :-)

Currently using GUI 2.0.3. I have an old flirc and I would like to dump the config and load it on my shiny new flirc. A. - Is this even possible? When I tried it only perhaps 2-3 of the buttons out of 46 actually mapped on the new flirc. B. - If not, are there plans for any kind of conversion utility? The remotes I am using are old DirecTV RC66. They are wonderful for use with the Flirc BTW.
