Sure thing, attached. remoteconfig.skip

Sure. I'm trying to simultaneously control volume on two devices, that both raise or lower the volume by 0.5dB iterations, which means they require the same amount of commands, making it a fairly simple scenario. However, when configuring "Volume Up", for example, on the Skip app with two actions (both of my recording and previously attached), the remote will execute the actions in a weird way. Clicking the button several times (say 5) will not send, but queue 10 commands, and due to an unexplained lag, they are not sent immediately but with a delay of several seconds (not milliseconds). In other words, you can place the remote on the table and commands will be sent for quite some time later. You can look at the receiver and see the volume go up every 5 seconds "out of nowhere". I think this is likely to reproduce on any device. Unfortunatley the FLIRC IR debugger is not realtime enough to expose this.

Okay, testing done. Now I understand that the issue is caused when using two devices under the same action; I'm not getting the laggy functionality when one device is used. However, when I use both the Topping and Pioneer "Volume Up" buttons, it works, but with a large delay and with buffered output (sends signals for about ~20 seconds, every 4 seconds after clicking the volume button a few times).

Hi, I recorded and created the JSON file, and have added it to the Skip GUI. Now testing It should be noted that the app refers to the device type in the JSON, and not the filename as mentioned in one of the help threads. The device won't appear in Misc (which AFAIU has all devices). FYI Topping-Pre90-AV.json Pioneer-VSAAX10-AV.json

I have a FLIRC USB and happy to use it. Reading through the forums I see that "irscrutinizer" should be used here. I'll see what I can do

I'm wondering what's the ETA for the first "release-grade" issue of Skip software, namely: - Learning mode - Firmware updates through the app (the currently offered update bricks the device) TIA, DDRRE

I'll keep bumping this because the Skip is nothing more than a light-up toy without these fixes.

Yes, I have the original remote. Actually, several versions of it. If I tap the volume buttons, the receiver responds immediately (even if I tap quickly). And, of course, the remote doesn't "buffer" commands like the Skip - when I stop pressing, no commands are left in the queue. What can be done to help here?

Help?

It should be noted that this might be due a bad preset, and not necessarily a bug. Universal remotes tend to be gentle with volume control and send commands slowly. To summarize, 2 changes need to be made: 1. Send the signal faster 2. Make sure that, under no circumstances, IR blasting is made by the remote when no physical input has been detected for >2 seconds

+1 on getting an ETA for this.

Hi, Inquiring regarding support for the Topping Pre90 preamplifier. Anything I can do to help? I have a FLIRC USB if that of use here. TIA, DDRRE

Hi, I'm running the latest firmware from this forum (12) and the volume up/down buttons are extremely slow to activate. While the LG navigation buttons I used for the TV go into rapid-fire when holding them, and also react very quickly, this doesn't appear to work for the volume buttons I've set to control a Pioneer VSX/SC compatible receiver. The commands are sent once every second (and can take a long while after pressing the remote - this is another issue; the remote shouldn't be doing anything if no one is touching it). I also hope that this won't affect my final use case when my preamp (Topping Pre90) gets supported, and I'd want to control both at the same time with fast response times. Rapid fire in this scenario will be a disaster due to different behaviors of the devices, but when it's a single command for each, hopefully both can be sent quickly, and repeated quickly once the button is pressed again.

Hi, I think the wizard is a bit confusing when using Skip for the first time. I think it'd be better to jump directly into the mapping page, with the ability to add devices one by one, and an empty remote.

Same here. I got the Skip so I could manage volume control on multiple devices simultaneously (Pioneer VSA-AX10Ai, which is supported, and Topping Pre90, which very much isn't). I was 1000000% sure this device will have a custom learning mode and "custom everything", but looks like I was wrong. I also have a Flirc USB receiver, I wonder if we can use that to teach the remote. This should be added to the FAQ.
