Thanks ytsejam1138
Top marks :)

I assumed it worked too but i've just tried it on my parent's computer and it doesn't work :(
I can't think of anything to change that would help.
Anyone else have any suggestions?
-
Oh no, he didn't get back to you. Sorry about that. I think he has been very busy recently.
Did you try my suggestion of trying to re-upload the stable firmware?
It might take a couple of tries but it should work

There is an XBMC add-on in the making:

That might help

I gave it some time updated everything today and spen5t 3 more hours to realize Im still getting no where. Is it possible I have bad hardware?
It is possible.
I'll highlight the thread to Jason and hopefully he'll pick up on it soon.I think the best way to get Jason to look into it is contact support@flirc.tv and reference this thread in your email - this way is more organised for him I think
-
Strange.
I'm sure Jason would be interested in debugging the issue with you at somepoint.
For the moment, which firmware are you using?
best thing since sliced bread.
100% agree

edit: just found out that also my 'Exit' button on my harmony can't be mapped...
You can always change your harmony to a tv device:
I don't think the flirc harmony profile is perfect... but it's damn close!
-
Hmm.
Firmware may have thrown a funny.
Try re-uploading the firmware and clearing the configuration: http://blog.flirc.tv/library-version-history/

All sorted?

Hi psykix, welcome to the forums,
You're over complicating it. It doesn't matter what you program the remote buttons as because you're telling Flirc what to translate those buttons into what keyboard press.
See our harmony thread in the "getting started" subforum then try programming Flirc using the keyboard layout (matching them to the media portal shortcuts)
Let me know if there's any problems :)
-
No worries.
Not sure on that one, I only have the cheaper harmony so can't test it.
The exit button on the harmony profile is mapped to backspace

I have gotten my firc to run with my little Openelec htpc, and my Harmony 900 remote. I am using the beta firmware version... and programming it directly as an FLIRC device in the Harmony software.
I would like to take it a few steps further... I would like to add specific scripts to my Soft Buttons... For example, I would like to add a script like:
RunScript(script.xbmc.subtitles)
But I see no way of dioing this other than using the color buttons on the remote... Issue is that I want to have many more custom commands than I have colored remote buttons. I know I can map the scripts to the Keyboard.xml to say the F8 key... but there is no F8 key in the flirc device.
Any guidance or advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Hernando
We're working on adding buttons that the user can customise in the harmony setting for flirc.
It's my number 1 request too!
For the meantime you have to choose between nice response times (flirc harmony setting) and customisation (using a tv device on your harmony to control flirc)
-
Manufacturer: Flirc
Device: XBMC

Am very happy with the way the flirc works with my Harmony 525 using the latest beta firmware.
What button command do I use to get back to the XBMC main page (where you select films/video/settings etc)? Or something equivalent to pressing escape on the keyboard?
You got it in there :) . Switch to keyboard controller in the flirc GUI and map the remote button to esc
-
Flashing to new/old firmware and erasing/formating the configuration hasn't helped.
Weird. I'll mention it to Jason.

People have been saying you can drop the video into chrome then press the chromecast button and the chromecast will play it.
Probably will get one for Netflix (read: Binge watching breaking bad)
-
When I select the power button on the control through the Harmony website I am not given the option to assigning the button to my TV the way I am with the volume buttons. Any help?
Unfortunately that's a harmony issue - not us
-
Reported the issue via the Flirc support page and have not received a response.
We will get back to you (or rather Jason will). We have full time jobs and families which compete for our time too - don't worry we won't leave you with a useless Flirc.
In Device Manager i see device "bootldr" instead of Flirc now
This means that it's still "alive" it's just got to have the firmware flashed onto it - sometimes it makes a few tries. I'll let Jason take over on this thread as he'll be more helpful.
I will say one thing, just in case: Remember to use the right software for the right firmware (Beta software for beta firmware and stable software for stable firmware). When in doubt, use the stable ones:

This thread is a bit more detailed:
Does this help?

Hi cris,
Flirc can work with the keys that already exist on the harmony - you will need to program the keys in the flirc gui (which seems to be what you want to do).
I'm sure flirc will do want you want it to, wait until you have it - it's much simpler when you have it than when you're reading about it etc.
If you have any more problems; make a new forum thread in the general questions and we'll help :)
-
Sounds more like a driver issue to me.
Is your HTPC windows 7 x64?
-
Done. Just noticed that you've changed your name to deadpool from budwyzer.
Chromecast probably won't be much related to Flirc as it doesn't have a menu to control

Hey guys! I'm new here and I must say that this article helped me a lot. I managed to get my OUYA working with FLIRC, XBMC and an Apple Remote.
In case anyone else wants to accomplish this, I created a guide (in English) on how to do so. I modified the files you provided above in order to have full functionality.
Cheers for the great work you guys do!
Here's my tutorial:

Very nice!
Thanks for making that guide :)

It wouldn't shock me to learn that these particular remotes work on some goofy, standard-snubbing frequency, but they're what I have.
In the case of Windows (MCE & xbox etc) remotes they toggle between two different keys for the same remote control press (something to do with detecting if someone has walked in the line of signal I think).
The remotes should work, Jason will take a look at the configuration file (he knows way more than me) and will be able to offer a solution.
Sorry your flirc isn't going as smoothly as it does for other users :(

Have you checked the buttons are mapped to something in the harmony software.
On my harmony remote (300) the profile buttons light up if the key is sending a signal. If they don't light up they can't be programmed in Flirc, often it's just a case of assigning anything to them in the myharmony.com utility
