@jason thanks, I should check the SDK out.

@Benjamin1971 another alternative to @parkerlreed's excellent solution is to use the "shell" mode of flirc_util. Here is a project which uses this approach with Python: flirc_repeater/flirc_repeater.py at main · andrewfraley/flirc_repeater · GitHub Look at the "wait_loop" function.

@jason In my efforts to get this resolved I have purchased a new Flirc which is on an earlier firmware (v4.6.5) and it doesn't suffer the same problem. I can continuously send IR commands using sendir of flirc_util whilst sending IR codes to the device and no crash occurs. Could you make available to me all the firmwares so that I can upgrade one by one until I encounter the issue? This would then hopefully point us in the right direction for a fix.

@jason I'm on the latest firmware and version of irtools and this is still easy to reproduce. Run the Windows BAT file (swapping out flirc_util.exe with irtools.exe) and whilst it's running, point a remote at Flirc and tap a button (paired or unpaired makes no difference) and Flirc will lock up. Errors from irtools: [E] hid_recv_packet(166): hid_recv_packet: wrong report id [E] hid_recv_packet(167): hidapi: Success [E] _recv_packet(126): _recv_packet: recv packet error = -1 [E] _dev_send_cmd(208): recv timeout [E] flirc_init(77): could not set iface

flirc_util not working on rapsberrypi5 due to libhidapi-hidraw.so.0
frangipan replied to SRE's topic in Firmware Bugs
There is a thread about this issue (different application) on the Raspberry Pi forums: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=358453 -
@jason GIven what you were looking at recently with recording the 'k' key, do you know if this limitation still exists?

@cableffm The Flirc device is quite sensitive. I've not heard of phones emitting IR but then again, my LCD TV does so why not a phone screen? My solution was to cover the Flirc window with some opaque material (eg. card) to reduce its sensitivity. This stops wayward IR signals from triggering events but still allows remote controls to work with Flirc.

Using flirc SENDIR to control amplifier from Windows
frangipan replied to HoochWindgrass's topic in How To
@HoochWindgrass This is certainly possible with flirc_settings, it now has the --pronto switch (this is what the format you've quoted looks like although every sequence should be 4 characters and be separated by a comma, not a space). -
Is there any way to do the equivalent of flirc_settings record_lp using the record_api command? If it's not possible today, is it technically possible within the hardware, just not exposed to flirc_settings?

That's great, thanks for the information.

Hi, Will Flirc Gen2 work in a USB 1.1 port? Are there any downsides to using with this version of USB? Thank you.
