  2. Error in Config? No connection possible anymore

    in Firmware Bugs

    Posted

    I wonder why nobody noticed this before.

    I'm guessing nobody has used the coloured buttons. But I appreciate you going through the trouble to figure out what was happening so I'll remember to factor that in to any issues anyone has in future.

    But I still think there is something wrong with the erasing-process

    Jason is working on a major UI update (hense why there hasn't been a release for a while) - hopefully it will be addressed the the next release.

    Hi Hefsaard, Welcome to the Flirc forums,

    Sorry you're having issues. It sounds like the device might be corrupted.

    It may take a couple of tries but in the Flirc GUI, try clearing the configuration (file ---> clear configuration)

    Pleasant regards,

    Chris!

  4. [XBMC] Music not Pausing

    in General Questions

    Posted

    Thanks to Burke's I too decided to have a little stab at keymapping.

    Even though you mentioned your platform i'm gonna generalise a tad so others can benefit (if required):

    How to change Music control so Spacebar is always pause

    1) Find your keyboard.xml file:

    Keymap configuration files are stored in the "keymaps" folder in the userdata (http://wiki.xbmc.org...?title=Userdata) folder:

    - Windows XP: Documents and Settings\%userprofile%\Application Data\XBMC\userdata\

    - Vista/Windows 7: Users\%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\

    - Mac OS X: /Users/<your_user_name>/Library/Application Support/XBMC/userdata/

    - iOS: /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/

    - Linux: $HOME/.xbmc/userdata/

    2) Open your keyboard.xml in wordpad/TextEdit/another basic text editor

    3) Find the section that deals with music controls, it should look something like this:

    <MyMusicPlaylist>

    <keyboard>

    <space>Back</space>

    <delete>Delete</delete>

    <u>MoveItemUp</u>

    <d>MoveItemDown</d>

    </keyboard>

    </MyMusicPlaylist>

    <MyMusicPlaylistEditor>

    <keyboard>

    <u>MoveItemUp</u>

    <d>MoveItemDown</d>

    <delete>Delete</delete>

    </keyboard>

    </MyMusicPlaylistEditor>

    <MyMusicFiles>

    <keyboard>

    <space>Playlist</space>

    <q>Queue</q>

    <delete>Delete</delete>

    </keyboard>

    </MyMusicFiles>

    <MyMusicLibrary>

    <keyboard>

    <space>Playlist</space>

    <q>Queue</q>

    </keyboard>

    </MyMusicLibrary>

    4) Change the "<space>Playlist</space>" to "<space>Pause</space>" (in bold below for emphasis)

    <MyMusicPlaylist>

    <keyboard>

    <space>Pause</space>

    <delete>Delete</delete>

    <u>MoveItemUp</u>

    <d>MoveItemDown</d>

    <backspace>Playlist</backspace>

    </keyboard>

    </MyMusicPlaylist>

    <MyMusicPlaylistEditor>

    <keyboard>

    <u>MoveItemUp</u>

    <d>MoveItemDown</d>

    <delete>Delete</delete>

    </keyboard>

    </MyMusicPlaylistEditor>

    <MyMusicFiles>

    <keyboard>

    <space>Pause</space>

    <q>Queue</q>

    <delete>Delete</delete>

    </keyboard>

    </MyMusicFiles>

    <MyMusicLibrary>

    <keyboard>

    <space>Pause</space>

    <q>Queue</q>

    </keyboard>

    </MyMusicLibrary>

    5) Save the keyboard.xml. (Close XBMC if open, then) Open XBMC and it should work great.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Hi Godzilla,

    Sorry it hasn't been a smooth process for you - Jason works hard with these things so hopefully things will be smoother in future.

    Glad you got your problems sorted, thanks for posting your steps - advantageous in case other user happen to have a similar issue.

    When Flirc is sending too many ArrowDown or Enter/Return are you holding the button down, pressing quickly (couple of times in a second) or just pressing once?

    Pleasant regards,

    Chris!

  6. [XBMC] Music not Pausing

    in General Questions

    Posted

    Hi hhbernd, welcome to the Flirc forums,

    I've given it a go and you are correct (I don't usually use XBMC for music so didn't notice it earlier).

    The issue appears to lies with XBMC. You should notice that thesong start from the begging when p is pressed if XBMC is currently hovering over that song. You have two options for pausing:

    1) Come out of the music section (to the homescreen for example) then press p or space bar

    2) Press tab to go into visualise then press space

    Pleasant regards,

    Chris!

  9. Long shot question... MCE?

    in General Questions

    Posted

    Found this online (although you said you couldn't get past the first stage - so may not help):

    http://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-vista-tips/setting-up-windows-media-center-without-ir-hardware-on-windows-vista/

    The problem is that Windows media player is very tricky to setup, because it asks for many things that you have no clue about it. One of those settings I got stuck with was “IR hardware not found“ after doing a quick research about it on Google I learned that IR is a device windows media center needs to control the channels with its remote control instead of the top cable box remote control.

    You will assume this would be optional but after clicking on cancel the process finish without saving anything. After playing for awhile with the settings I made it bypass the IR hardware not found error by doing the following:

    Open Windows Media Center and go to Task>Settings>TV>Setup TV Signal click yes to whatever question come up. Click the default settings on the wizard until you get to the option where it asks if you want to setup your signal automatically or manually choose I Will Manually Configure My TV Signal selectAntenna-it does not matter where you have your TV tuner plugged in. choose Analog Only Antennaafter you go trough this return to TV Settings and click Finish.

    Ha ha, what timing. Burke posted a great guide of customising buttons. I'll admit I haven't tried the steps he wrote up (I've been busy and I don't have a windows computer) but its seems like a great solution for this usage.

    I'll let Burke guide you (as he knows more) - If that's OK Burke?

    Basically the solution would likely involve changing xbmc's keymaps.XML

    Pleasant regards

    Hi member,

    Glad you got it sorted. With regards to you new question, have a look at this thread:

    If it doesn't help then make a new topic in the "general" forum (so your question gets lots of exposure)

    Pleasant regards

    I've seen this response a lot on these forums, but I can tell you that rapid button presses on the newer Flirc betas does not perform the same way that holding a key on a physical keyboard does. With a keyboard, no matter how rapidly I repeat a key, XBMC moves to highlight the item that many steps away. If I press and hold a keyboard key, it stops moving as soon as I release the key. In contrast, pressing the same button on my remote two or three times, or holding a button down both result in the menu speeding by way to too quickly to use, for a seemingly random number of list steps.

    Fair comment - you have a lot more experience with scrolling with Flirc than I have.

    I'll stop mentioning it for now then start experimenting in June.

    Chris!

    2) Not sure but as a temporary measure if it's that annoying you could turn on kiosk mode, usually in settings ---> skin --> general.

    1) On my to-do list is to research the various solutions and factors that affect scrolling so we can come up with solutions for each platform (as it is more of a platform thing than a Flirc thing). It would be the cherry on top of the very delicious Flirc cake.

    I'll definitely need some help from forum users... expect something around abut June though if someone starts in the mean time i'll join them in June

    Pleasant regards,

    Chris!

    Hmm, it is really strange that Flirc isn't getting anything.

    When I google-d your remote it kept displaying stuff about the receiver (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/412/entertainmentcenterupgr.jpg/).

    Have you still got the receiver and can you verify that the remote is working using that receiver?

    I appreciate what you've established that it is sending IR but I want to check that the IR it's sending not just random broken signals. Basically I just want to verify as much as possible that the remote is functioning 100%. Then we can definitely place the fault squarely on Flirc.

    Sorry the set-up isn't going 100% smoothly,

    Pleasant regards,

    Chris!

    Thanks for posting Cheule,

    I'm sure future users will find your information of great value.

    Pleasant regards

    Chris!

    p.s. let me know if something crops up and you wanna change the title - hopefully this won't be the case.

    Hi jorobe,

    That's odd. I wasn't able to find a manual online - though it pops up in LIRC type forums so I guess that proves it IR.

    You're right, no-one appears to have reported anything relating to Creative remotes. Hopefully we can get it to work.

    Could you elaborate on what you've tried?

    Does Flirc work with any remote you have (could you try a TV one) - just to check Flirc is working?

    Does it have fresh/full batteries in?

    Pleasant regards

    Chris
