"(Skip chapter forwards = "]" and back is "[")"
For some reason it's vice versa. [ is forward, ] is back but not the chapter, just moves video playback +10 (or so) sec.
Sorry I got it mixed up. But those are the shortcuts, see XBMC wiki:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Keyboard
Perhaps you don't have chapters in your video file.
And yesterday I've encountered another issue. My Flirc just stooped working all of a sudden. For no obvious reason. I had to reprogram it late at night. Restarted my RPi, and after a couple of minutes it did the very same thing, just stopped recognizing signals from my remote. Didn't bother to test it again. I'm kind of disappointed.
Did you experience these issues on your windows computer too.
I would say 9/10 times the issues with flirc and the raspberry pi can be attributed to the power supply not supplying the required amount of current.

Many thanks for helping Koying.
Additionally thanks for your contributions to XBMC :)
@b4pjoe: Does it solve your issue?
-
I'm getting more and more confused by this issue (not getting frustrated with you though).
I'm intrigued to see if it works fine on Ouya (we'll see what koying finds). I can't understand why it wouldn't work on one android system the same as another.
Would really appreciate other users input on this too. I'm sure we can get to the bottom of it.

Hi doshch, welcome to the forums
The product is untested and that's a fact.
I'm pretty certain this isn't the case. Jason tests every one he sends out - rarely they turn bad but we don't leave customers hanging if they do.
The software and firmware sometimes has it's quirks and we do respond to customer feedback - Flirc is a small project that we work on (in addition to full time jobs) though so it takes a bit longer.
Sometimes I have to assigned keys a few times in a row.
Some remotes toggle between frequencies - obviously flirc will need to know what frequency/frequencies you want to do what. Remote control examples include MCE remotes.
mute button
Just checked this. Don't know why but it's mapped to "i"
Incidentally I couldn't see a key for mute in the XBMC wiki, so it looks like we would remove the mute key.
There isn't a chapter skip button but as you've figured out you can switch to keyboard view and do it there for the moment (Skip chapter forwards = "]" and back is "[")
But after all this you're up and running?

I agree with the people in the thread I link to though. It's weird that it is in Plex but they just hid it - maybe they thought it would cause confusion?
Very strange

There is definitely an issue with XBMC Android and the Escape, Backspace, and the shift key. They work in Android 4.1.1 in all apps except XBMC. There have been quite a few posts about this issue over at the XBMC forums but no solution that I've found.
I know i'm not much help as I don't have an android device to test this on but I've been in contact with one of the Team-XBMC members that has used Flirc with Ouya (android based) and they didn't remember having any problems mapping those buttons.
What XBMC android version are you using?
-
Yay! Free beer! ;)
Don't worry, glad it solved it!
-
Ah damn!
I assumed Plex has the same stuff as XBMC (usually does share this kind of thing).
Some more google-ing; turns out it is there but you're going to have to go into the xml setting:

Does it work?

Have you tried a "beefier" power supply. In addition to Jason's comment, i'm around these forums quite a lot and not enough power seems to be the root cause of some unusual issues.
-
This is an epic guide.
I will have a more critical read though it when I have time.
Nice work evilestegg

In plex/xbmc:
Settings --> input devices --> "remote control sends keyboard presses"
Does this solve your issue?

Cool. You can tell i'm not a windows users.
Budwyzer's suggestion seems better (pat on the back for him!)

Hi to all,
I have MINIX Neo X5 that has IR receiver inside. So, I would like to use my tv remote to control MINIX without flirc receiver. Is it possible?
Where I can download the apk file for android? I saw only Linux win and Os version.
Thank you in advance
Davide
I think you're getting confused. Flirc is a hardware product - they software does nothing without the flirc hardware.
Also Flirc programming utility isn't available on android.
-
Easy:
Pair a button on your remote to a key combination in flirc.
Assign this key combo to the app you want to open (see: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows7/create-keyboard-shortcuts-to-open-programs)
-
What platform are you using Flirc on?

Hi Alsfeld, welcome to the forums,
I had a quick read of the user guide for the beo4 - sounds like a nice bit of kit.
Where did you find out about the frequencies it uses?
-
Oh, sad to hear that. It seems like flirc is not yet for me, I will try to find another solution and check back on progress in a few months.
Thanks a lot for your help, you're a real boon to these forums.
No worries :)
We want Flirc to be useful to you.
-
I'm still not sure about this issue. Unfortunately I don't have an android device I can plug my flirc into but it appears others haven't had the issues you've had.
Perhaps this is device related.
Which keymap did you put in the userdata folder?
-
If I buy one, will it work with long keypresses so I can use the hold functions listed here? http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Apple_remote
Unfortunately not. Where long-press functionality is mentioned in the beta's it relates to the ability for flirc to be more responsive and detect when you're scrolling (not pressing the button multiple times).
I saw your post of the XBMC forums an hopefully someone can help - I can't think of anything at the moment but if I do i'll get back to you

Yes, that's what I've been doing. Pairing and deleting in the GUI is not a problem for me up to a certain point.
Oddly, most buttons delete correctly in GUI mode and in the command line up to a certain point (maybe after I've programmed ~30 keys or so). After that, deleting several other buttons fail, even though it displays a successful deletion attempt ("Erased Button" on the GUI, "Button Deleted Successfully" in the command line). The only way to delete these entries is to wipe everything out. I can still add entries, but I can't delete them. I'm running Flirc Version 1.0.5 [fw_v255.9-18-geb49aca] Firmware Version: 256 04-01-2013, so I think I'm up to date with firmware and software. I'm going to do more tests to see if there are any issues (try another PC or something), but please let me know if you have any ideas.
Wow, does seem like a bug. I don't recall it being reported before.
Please report back after you do some more experimenting and i'm sure Jason will pick up on it at some point
Thanks

Hi evilestegg, welcome to the forums
Just to check, how are you deleting the button?
In the GUI you delete the button by pressing delete in the GUI then the button on the remote control. This then deletes the pairing off the Flirc.
Is this what you are doing?
-
Oh no!
Flirc is usually quite resilient but sometime things can get corrupted.
In addition to you reverting to stable firmware could you try clearing your configuration (file --> clear configuration). Re-upload the firmware and see if that helps.
I can see how it's frustrating, it's not acceptable for Flirc to be doing this - we'll get you up and running :)
-
One system uses a Sony DVD remote, the other uses a Logitech Harmony (perhaps with a sony profile, don't remember).
If the harmony remote is set as a sony remote then we have probably found the culprit.
You could try the lastest beta firmware too to see if that helps.
It's unlikely to be an XBMC issue

Hi selfdetruct, welcome to the forums,
Switch to "fully keyboard" controller:
Then choose the button on your remote that you want to be the contextual menu button, map this to "c"
Does this answer your question?
How to command computer to open a program? (XBMC)

Hi Cal,
I've quickly googled it. You'll need to assign a keyboard combination to the app you want to open (http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=109&t=114955) then assign this combination to a remote control button using the Flirc gui.
I don't have access to a linux computer at the moment. Does it work though?
