  3. Samsung TV and Soundbar not (yet) working

    in Supported Devices / Databases

    Posted

    You can really just select any model. Pick whatever seems most likely. Samsung re-uses remote codes, so as long as you have Samsung as the brand, it will likely work. After you select one, you can hit the test button on that page in the app and if it turns your device on or off, you’ll know it’s working.

  4. Macro on Activity Buttons

    in Skip 1s

    Posted · Edited by Nathan

    You cannot program the activity buttons on the Skip. It works fundamentally differently than Harmony remotes. Pressing the activity button merely changes what all the other buttons do on the remote.  So if you want to create a macro for, for example, activity A. You’d have to press the A button, then press another button on your remote that contains that macro.

    All buttons on the Skip can be programmed with macros except the activity buttons

    so in your case, you’d likely just program all that into the power button for activity A, creating a power on and a power off macro

    Got it! Thanks. I hadn't seen the manual before (my bad)! I think I have my harmony setup replicated and ready to go! :)

    Awesome! And there's a very good chance we hadn't published the manual yet when you first got the remote, so missing it is to be expected. 

  8. Skip 1s Compatibility

    in Skip

    Posted

    Ah, I see there are a bunch of Humax models. I’d say at this point the easiest thing to do is just to test whatever seems most likely. We eventually want to have a reverse search that figures out the model based on signals from your original remote, but still early for that. 
     

    Once you have a flirc usb, Jason should be able to work with you to grab the exact codes.

  14. What *exactly* is the Flirc?

    in Ideas and Suggestions

    Posted

    At its core, the Flirc USB is an IR receiver that interprets IR signals and transmits them to a computer or set-top box as keyboard keys or other computer commands. 

    The Flirc USB is programmable using the Flirc App. You tell the flirc app the next IR signal the Flirc receives you want interpreted as a space bar press, for example, and then when you press a button on your remote, the IR signal it transmits will forever been recognized as a keyboard press by the Flirc, unless you re-program it. You can do this for basically as many IR codes as your given remote has.

    Drivers are needed for programming. Once programming is done, they aren't needed anymore. And in fact if you plug the Flirc USB into something like a Android TV or Fire TV box, it'll just show up as a keyboard that sends the appropriate commands for those systems.

    The transmitter on the Flirc exists, but is mostly not used by the average person.

    I can't see compatibility with movistar TV decoders. This is important. Will them be available?

    If you have the chance to test, try using Arris for the brand and VIP1113L IPTV Receiver for the model. This is evidently the version used by Moviestar. If that doesn't work, until we have implemented the ability to simply add and build new remote profiles, we can try working with you directly to create one.

  19. I cannot get flirc installed on my linux machine

    So it turns out I've already tried this. Once again the problem is that the directory doesn't exist. When I put in what it says, and I add that to the sources.list file, I do apt get update and in the lines it says for the one I just added, which I copy and pasted, "404 not found"

     

     

     

    Quick question, are you running a Debian based system? If so, have you followed the instructions coming from the flirc.tv download page?

    https://flirc.com/ubuntu-software-installation-guide

    That link comes from the Flirc's download section on it's page: https://flirc.tv/products/flirc-usb-receiver?variant=43513067569384#spec2

  20. Skip App v0.9.0 Beta

    Thank you very much for your short video on how to configure the power button ... by mistake/misunderstanding I tried to move my actions on the activity-buttons A,B and C (not on the power button), because I didn't understand that the power button can hold actions that are different/specific für the activity buttons.

    What does this mean in real live: will you have to press the activity button first and then the power button, to tell the SKIP, which power-on sequence it has to start? Or will just pressing the activity-button A start the power-on-sequence that I have moved to the power-button for activity A?

    Yes, this is a change from how the Harmony remotes worked. With Skip, the activity button really does just change what the remote buttons do, it doesn't send any signals itself. This should allow for slightly more flexibility in how you use the remote, basically making it possible to flip between activities without being forced to shut down anything or run long macros in between. 

  21. Updates from Kickstarter

    in Skip

    Posted

    Just a quick update. Things are generally going well. I'm getting good feedback, but I was hoping they would be finished. As always, there are some issues.

    A handful of semiconductors broke in our tray during shipping. Not an issue, since I sent more than what was needed.

    Odd though is 300 PCB's did not pass Q/A before assembly. This was a significant number considering the build count. They are remaking them. A significant number are finished and I'm awaiting more news which I'll share as soon as it makes my way.

    Any day now!

     

  22. Can I cancel my order?

    in Skip 1s

    Posted

    Yep, we are expecting the factory to start production soon (if they haven't already), and the first batch to ship to our US warehouse soon. From there the order of delivery will go: those who pre-ordered on the website before the kickstarter, then the early bird kickstarters, then everyone else. 

    We'll definitely miss Christmas, but we're hoping to get the pre-orders and early birds out in December or by the end of it. That's the news as-of Friday. Not sure if there's been any update since then.

    Hi,
    I am from Austria, and are impatiently awaiting the device !
    Following devices I cannot find in the database:
    shuttle (Xpc)
    Cambridge audio: AXR 100D
    Sony: Playstaion5 

    With many devices, finding something in the same brand that seems similar should get you most of the way there. If you add Audio - Cambridge Audio - Minx TV, TV2, and TV5, it might actually work fine. Worth testing when you get your remote. 

     

    edit: needless to say, these more interesting remotes are where our plans for learning and creating a library of new remotes will be so useful. You guys who backed the kickstarter and pre-orders definitely sped up the time when we'll get to that point.
