You could program a button on your remote (using flirc) to close xbmc e.g. map record button to alt+f4
Then make a shortcut to open xbmc with a keycombo assigned to it e.g. ctrl+space+o and program a different button on flirc (e.g off)
I'm on my phone at the moment but i'll try and link to the guide eskro created
Are you using windows?

I'll admit that whilst I could read it RFT is really a Mac text editor thing (as far as i'm concerned)
Here it is in PDF

Found this looking for a way to reset or erase flirc. Sounds close to what I would like to do, just clear/reset the device and start over. But not seeing anything. But a "factory" reset would be nice.
File --> Clear configuration
-
Crashes should be expected with xbmc nightlies - its not even in beta yet
-
You could always put the always on computer to sleep (hense disabling flirc) and in the beta firmware's you can set a button to wake from sleep.
Is this worth looking into?
-
I think FLIRC is see through to increase sensitivity to signals (I seem to recall Jason saying that somewhere)
-
Nice set-up, jealous!
-
Perhaps I should mention that I've done all the programming and testing on my iMac running XBMC and Flirc software. After all the setting up, I unplugged the Flirc dongle and insert it into the Media PC which is running Linux and was working 100% correct with absolutely no configuration / software required on the Linux machine.
Nice findings, flirc does all the sorting of signals and turns them into keyboard presses so it would work on any devixe that accepts a usb keyboard. The host device only sees it as a keyboard
-
I noticed that after learning an IR code for a button, I could immediately go back and set up the same code sometimes 5 time before I'd get the "button already existed" dialog box.
Would this be using the xbox remote (not your sony one) by chance?
-
have a Track Progress sub-forum we could rely too for infos like whats coming in next firmware version
Wouldn't that essentially be the beta-firmware images (as they are being tested for the next stable firmware)?
I'll make a sticky of accepted (by Jason) ideas... at some point in te near future.

Users seem to have some confusion (which I full understand),
()
The erase button is a bit too vague (in my opinion).
Perhaps change the wording from:
to
Or similar
Just an idea!

Hi 00g, welcome to the FLIRC forums.
I haven't heard of this issue so far just to clarify a few points:
- What firmare are you using?
- When scrolling up or down slowly it is fine but multiple repeats cause it to go left
- What remotes have you tried?
Cheers!
- What firmare are you using?

hmmm, looking at this a bit more closely, the 'parent dir' and 'back' buttons in the flirc xbmc giu window both get mapped to backspace key.
Good find rich, if you feel like making it easier for Jason to spot start a new thread in this forum:
http://forum.flirc.tv/index.php?/forum/36-gui-bugs/
if you create it he can ask you questions (should be need to)
Cheers!

I think the "remote issues" should be in the remote forum (created today for extra freshness!).
I'm not sure how required it is though, forum categories aren't going to be perfect.
-
i'm not sure i understand the difference between 'back' and 'parentdir' in the firlc xbmc gui, they seem to be the same thing in the skin i'm using.
Parent directory is the one you want if you want to go back as you described in your first post.
Glad everything else is going well!
-
On another scan of the forum it makes sense to have remote control as you have Firmware problems (problems with the FLIRC), GUI (Problems with the software) but nothing for problems of remotes.
-
Perhaps not unsupported remotes (but something that implies less than 100% compatibility). Two subforums gets my vote.
Also in the comment for the forum you could specify title format e.g.
Remote Control Forum
Posts about remote control compatibilty, please title your thread "[Remote control] - Then what ever you want"
If you did creat a forum I would be temped to move a couple of threads into that one.

Hi Rich, Welcome to FLIRC forums.
Nice to hear you are having some success with you XBOX DVD remote and FLIRC
operation is perfect in xbmc now except for one thing, if i'm in file mode and i hit 'back' which is supposed to jump up one directory 9 times out of 10 it will jump all the way back to the home screen. it feels like an over eager auto repeat on the key press but cant work out whether its a function of the remote, xbmc, windows or flirc. i don't want to suggest that filrc has the option of disabling auto repeat on individual keys when its nothing to do with it in the first place so if anyone has any suggestions as to what is going on there then i'd like to hear.I'm sure you have done this correctly, but just to eliminate any lingering doubts; the back button on your XBOX remote is mapped to backspace (or delete in the current FLIRC GUI) and not ESC?
I don't like creating suggestion threads for users as I think they are best at expressing their views more accurately than I can, so if you feel like it it you could but the following (or something similar) into the suggestion forum (http://forum.flirc.tv/index.php?/forum/39-ideas-and-suggestions/):
what would be useful is instead/as well as the current option to erase an individual key press on the remote is an option to erase all codes associated with keyboard function ie in the gui, click erase and then click vol+ and it'd erase all ir codes associated with vol+ rather than have to individually erase all ir codes via remote presses.One final thing, are you experiencing some of the other issues in this thread (), i'm particularly interested in what buttons cannot be programmed (so I can update a sticky on issues with certain remotes)
Many thanks!

I think he meant "theme" not "them"
i'm gonna guess Aeon MQ3 with lots of tron stuff everywhere!

Apple remote - long press
Symptoms
- Inability to use long press at all (useful for fast forwarding or scrolling through a list)
Cause- Flirc doesn't yet support long presses - though it is planned.
Solution
Wait for long press support firmware
(or test the beta version now:
)

up to Jason really so my opinion is no more valid than yours! :)
-
I like the top one - though (be being fussing again) I would prefer the old minimalist icon (adapted from your hard work):
-
Yeah I think presenting the controller type you wanted to format then start formatting it is a nice touch (so people can utilize the full potenical of FLIRC). However I would be inclined to use icons (e.g. boxee icon) instead of the remote.
Nice idea though

Indeed. A thread on this may help shed some light but there isn't a good solution at present:
