Hi all,
I’ve just gotten my Skip1s and USB bundle. Really excited and trying to get things set up, but I’m running into a problem I can’t seem to solve.
Issue: Can’t control Plex via Skip1s as programmed in Skip app
Set up:
Skip1s programmed “PC” for “Flirc” and “Plex” in Skip app v0.9.956 beta. Synced to “A” Activity button
FLIRC USB and software v3.27.10
Windows 11 Pro
Plex HTPC v10.0.22631
Observations:
Controls as programmed via the settings synced from Skip app to “A” activity don’t trigger the expected behaviour in Plex.
I am able to program some aspects of Plex controls with Skip1s via FLIRC USB software, but not all (so obviously not desirable long term).
When no settings are programmed in FLIRC USB software and the device log is set to “Enable IR Debugging”, IR signals from Skip1s are detected.
Activity “B” settings for TV and Soundbar work as programmed in Skip app.
FLIRC USB doesn’t show in Windows Device Manager, including, hidden devices.
Attempted remedies:
Full system restart
Powered Skip1s off/on via removal of batteries for >10 minutes
Moved FLIRC USB to multiple alternative usb ports, including a usb hub, front panel and mobo backplate I/O.
Program desired settings to activities “B” and “C” via Skip app
Reset Skip1s settings in Skip app, used Skip app on alternative windows machine to set up Skip1s as a new device. Used FLIRC USB and software on alternative machine.
Outcome: Issue persists, namely, input via Skip1s remote results in no action in Plex.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I love this product already, I just want to make this work and it’ll be perfect.
