  1. Duplicate Key IDs on buttons

    in Firmware Bugs

    Posted

    this forum is extrememly supportive... 

    I ran into the same problem with the brand new flirc fw v3.6. 

    I was able to find a way to downgrade the firmware. Luckily, GUI apps have specific fw versions bundled. 

    So the approach is as follows 

    - Download previous GUI version here: http://downloads.flirc.tv/release/gui/

    - Connect flirc, don't run the GUI yet

    - In terminal/console, go to flirc GUI folder (on MacOS - cd /Applications/Flirc.app/Contents/Resources)

    - On MacOS I had to copy a lib: 

    cp libusb-1.0.0.dylib /usr/local/lib

    - Run

    flirc_util dfu

    - Now start the flirc app. It will download the firmware and install it to the thing.

    I had to try several versions. 1.2.8 finally worked with me. 

    I still have to program each button twice, but at least there are no conflicts

     

     

    Thanks for posting this.

    I gave up on my flirc because of this issue, but I'll give it another shot using your directions.

  2. Duplicate Key IDs on buttons

    what kind of remote, and what kind of device?

     

    Remote - Philips SRP4004/27

     

    I've tried a variety of devices when I programmed the remote.

     

    I wasn't ever able to get the Flirc programmed if the R/Y/G/B buttons were enabled.

     

    The other issue I noticed when the R/Y/G/B buttons were enabled is that each button had to be programmed twice.

     

    So I would program right arrow once, program it again and the repeat that for the remainder of the buttons.

     

    Eventually I would get the "this has already been programmed" message, which then threw off the Flirc mapping entirely.

     

    I got close once by saving the profile every time I programmed a button. I would then restore the profile once I received the error and would continue programming the Flirc.

     

    That failed once I realized that the play button was sending the same command as another button.

     

    All of these issues go away when I program the remote to a device that doesn't have the R/Y/G/B buttons enabled.

     

    I was able to duplicate this on v1.3.5-rc.2, v1.3.5-rc.3 and v1.3.6. I know that it worked on the old firmware because this all started when I upgraded the firmware on my Flirc.

     

    I shouldn't have upgraded the firmware, because it was working perfectly before...

  3. Duplicate Key IDs on buttons

    I have a universal remote that has the Red/Yellow/Green/Blue bottons, and I have this exact issue whenever I have the remote programmed to a device that utilizes these four buttons.

     

    I am able to program the Flirc receiver with ease when I have the remote programmed to a device that doesn't use these buttons.

     

    This didn't happen in older versions of the firmware, but happens on all of the more recent versions.

     

    I believe version 2.6 was the last version I was able to use, but I can't find the download for that anymore.

     

    It's very annoying because I like to program these buttons to do certain tasks in Kodi, such as Subtitle On/Off, Audio Delay, Watched Toggle, etc...
