I updated the remote to 4.12.23. Prior to the update, I don't recall the version that was on the remote but the batteries lasted ~2.5 months. With 4.12.23, the new batteries lasted ~2 weeks. In addition, the remote has locked up several times and required the batteries removed to restore operation.

If I remember correctly, the remote has to be in administrative mode. There's a config file that you place in one of the Skip's file folders. Check out the threads on importing json files. You are then able to import json files. Jason's response above (25th) has the json file that you import and then assign the "unpair" button to one button. It should then work correctly. Your other remote is locking out the Skip.

I have a Gen1 Flirc and has been working fine. Opened app this am and said there was a firmware update (3.27.5). Loaded update and when I plug the Flirc into the usb port, the app closes. I rebooted windows (11) with the same results. Without the Flirc plugged in, the app does show that it is running 3.27.5. Plug the Flirc in, app closes.

Need to add additional Onkyo RZ50 buttons....

Are you able to record IR with a gen 1 Flirc? Didn't notice "record ir" under file advanced.

I just ran into the same issue and I believe the center button only shows the remotes color. I moved the center button cmd to another color button to verify that I had the correct cmd for my device and it did work with the other button.

I assume the ATV remote is paired to the ATV box. When the Logitech was added it created its' own pair and locked out other 3rd party remotes (i.e. Skip) from working. Is that what was going on? Just wanted to understand why the Logitech prevented the Skip from working. Is it just with Logitech you would see this or any 3rd party remote?

You did! Buttons all work. So, to summarize, why did the ATV lock out the Skip? I went back to using the Apple TV Gen 4 (media mgr) device code and all buttons map correctly. You may want to add the "unpair" option to this device code for others having the same issue. Do appreciate the great support in resolving this.

I have the Flirc USB up and running with v3.11.0.

I have an older model that I haven't used in a while. You might have to give me a little guidance on using it again if it would work.

A few days ago I tried a Harmony 700 IR remote and it worked fine with my ATV (responded to all button presses). For some reason, the Skip is locked out. It would be a major job to reload all the apps if I did a reset. Only have 1 ATV. "It's gotta be something on their side". Don't disagree with that but why the Logitech works and the Skip doesn't is the question. The fact that it does work with some (or most) ATV's leads to your conclusion that it's something on their side. The issue here is that a majority of users are going to be in same camp as me and won't want to reset their ATV if this does resolve the issue. Doing a little online research, I believe the ATV can only be paired with one ATV remote at a time. Wondering if maybe the Skip is mimicking a ATV remote and thus locked out. Doesn't explain why some work and others don't, but thought I would throw it out there.

US, the 4 above. What's odd is that I'm not the only one having this issue. I've played around with all the ATV settings with no change.......Why it works on some boxes and not others is the question of the day.

Yep see that now. I was able to update the app and added the Json files. Tried all with the Apple TV. Unfortunately, same results; ATV blinks when sending commands but nothing happens.

Jason, when I go to the above link it asks for a user name and password. Neither my forum or site logins work.

Any update on this?
