Hi,
Not sure if this forum is still alive but here goes nothing!
I have a Flirc Streacom edition ... Gen 1 and it's been a faithful little device for years. Recently, I purchased a new TV and I wanted to remap the buttons to a new remote... and that's when the fun began. I found the flirc app was showing as disconnected despite the device still functioning normally with my old remote. I followed the instructions for uninstalling and reinstalling the driver but to no avail. The driver was installed and showing as healthy in the device manager.
I tried the command line utility flirc_util but it just gave me errors "Access is denied. Unable to contact device".
I tried using zadig and it shows the flirc (interface 1) as being on libusbk (v3.0.7.0). It allowed me to upgrade to v3.1.0.0 but it didn't help.
So I booted up Ubuntu and I tried to get it working on a live USB. I managed to symlink libreadline.so.8.1 -> libreadline.so.6 and got the software to load but it too showed disconnected. I tried flirc_util and it offered some colourful language when doing a `./flirc_util unit_test` ... saying it's f**ked. I ran `./flirc_util dfu` and upon starting the GUI client it immediately updated the firmware! I recorded the new remote and shutdown the machine, booting back into windows.
At this point I lost functionality... neither the old or new remotes would work although I could still power on. In Windows, I loaded the GUI and once again it showed as disconnected. I loaded zadig and found a 2nd interface "flirc (interface 0)" in the list which was using WinUSB. I updated it to libusbK (v3.1.0.0 - was the only option) and GUI immediately started a firmware update, flashing to 3.11.0. I could also use the command line utility and started trying to remap keys. The recording is successful but the keys cannot be played back! I ran the `flirc_util format` in an attempt to restart but this only resulted in the loss of the power button. I had to boot back into ubuntu in order to re-record that key press using flirc_util. I could record left, right etc... but they don't work even though the recording is successful!
Long story short, I have a flirc streacom edition gen 1 on 3.11.0 with libusbK 3.0.7, Flirc 3.26.5 and no working remote.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! (especially if anyone knows what drivers it should be using on the 2 interfaces!!!).
