My pleasure. Yeah, looks like I have a bug in the command, so sorry about that. On my list is a bit of a firmware re-write to bring it up with the remote as well as make the configs human readable JSON.

Thanks! Just did a quick check with flirc_util.exe settings And noticed what your talking about... 5 33733D53 045 02 next_track 6 CF881170 130 01 up 7 2C2DDF24 045 01 up 8 D1B6D3EB 045 01 left #6 does seem like the odd one out of the rest of the codes, I tried to delete it with flirc_util.exe delete_index 6 But it doesn't seem to take effect as running the settings command shows it. Is there another argument that I should be using or could you please remove it? *EDIT* Just noticed this one... 12 10A01061 045 01 0 Not sure if that was from you or not, but if not it could likely be removed as well.

Hello dear authors of Flirc, I have just purchased the Flirc IR receiver and using it in conjunction with Remote Buddy 2 on macOS Mojave on a Mac Pro 5,1 and a Pioneer VSX909RDS receiver. Pretty old, but very good devices. Now I found the Remote Buddy IR signal recoding function to sometimes not record the right command, but after a couple of tries it usually works. But there is one command on the remote of the Pioneer that for some reason after recoding in RB2 and attempting to play it back hangs the Flirc. Attaching a Log file from Flirc GUI so you can see. Pioneer VSX909RDS Stereo Direct toggled many times.txt

The remote is pretty darn good for being so fresh. It's way better than the sofabatan X1. You can learn codes now if you have a FLIRC the process is not documented well but it works great. No reason you could not get all your stuff working perfectly if you have the orignal remotes. There is a command line app that you can run called irtool.exe and it will learn any code from any IR remote. it's in the flirc folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Flirc usage: irtools.exe decode -l Then point your remote at the plugged in FLIRC and boom you have your codes, then just use one of the .json files as an example and add to your local copy of the skip app. You do have to enable the config tab in order to add "brands" aka new .json files with the pronto codes.

ok, after digging in the forums I found out the procedure to learn the codes using the irtool.exe command line app and low and behold the codes the manufacture of the Dune Homatics provided are not correct, maybe from a pre production model of the remote... Anyways it works now perfectly and I will create a full .json brand file for the Dune HD Homatics Box R 4K Plus

Ok, so I am trying to get this Dune Homatic device setup and I am doing the new brand thing with the Json file. I figured that all out but the problem now is the Skip is doing like a double click each time a button is pressed. I tried setting the repeat but it won't go lower than 1. needs like a .5 or something. Is there anyway to prevent it from sending more than 1 IR command? I am probably missing something LOL I have attached the .json file I am working on. For example in the file, the home button does a double click and goes into the task manager instead of just going home, which on the device is a single click and if you double click the home button it goes to the task manager, but with the Skip it just goes directly to the task manager. Thanks in advance. DUNE3-JH-AV.json

i can send you the previous firmware, but would also need to include support for the comma delimited sendir command, is that correct?

I have been using my Flirc for a month or so and it has worked brilliantly, except... My problem is double key presses. My configuration won't help any as I am using a Skippa remote to control an IceBox. What's a Skippa and an Icebox, I hear you say? The Skippa is a PVR (now dead) that is unique to an Australian company called IceTV that provides a unique EPG service that allows you to set recordings on the PVR from anywhere with cellular service. The IceBox is a later version that is based on a NUC running LIBREelec and Kodi software as well as an IceTV plugin that allows the IceBox to communicate with the IceTV service. The IceBox came with an RF remote out of the box, which didn't suit my setup which uses InfraRed extenders to allow the various entertainment devices to controlled throughout the house. It's all actually more complex than that, but I doubt anyone will make sense of the setup. My solution to integrate the IceBox into the setup was to record the keys from the Skippa remote to a Flirc and use a plug it into the IceBox. A key point is that the Skippa remote I am using is not configurable. It is an out of the box remote, i.e. not a programmable device. As I said it all works brilliantly, except for the double key presses. When I press the '2' button on the remote the IceBox sees '22'. I immediately recognized the problem. The Flirc was responding to the multiple '2' pulses, that the remote generates with a single press of the key, and pushes out what it receives. The biggest problem is the Pause/Play button, i.e. a Pause is immediately followed by a Play. I have researched the issue in the forum and quickly found threads where the problem was discussed, and the solution was to adjust the Interkey delay on the Flirc. Unfortunately, in the current version (Build 2?) this adjustment of the Interkey Delay is no longer available. I saw a suggestion to use the Command Line "interkey_delay" command available with "flirc_util.exe", so I hunted around and found out how to do this but got the response "inter-key delay: N/A for current firmware". Can anyone explain why the Interkey Delay capability has been dropped? It seems to be such a logical function to have. I also note that every time someone raises interkey delay for Build 2 Flircs, all conversation stops. This makes no sense to me. I can understand that the function has been withdrawn for some reason, but why not just say so? I have yet to find a thread where the withdrawal has been explained. Of course, if someone can point me to a solution that would be greatly appreciated, but I have little expectation of one.

No worries, it is a minor complaint compared to a bug! No rush to this below question: I don't see any explanation why 3.26.0 is now broken with fully up to date Win 11 22H2. Testing 3.26.0 using the command line repeatedly verified this on several machines. These machines were minimal-ist machines (Minisforums N40 mostly). No easily accessible method to raise the priority of the command line to see if that would improve. Is there a flirc_util command line switch for verbose that might offer a better error enumeration than >> [E] util/flirc_util/src/cmds/ir_transmit.c sendir(96): Error: invalid length, must be even

Ok, I managed to get it to work. It was kind of kludgey but I was able to save a config using the other denon's button and pull the pronto code into the manual "AVR-X6400H" config. Why can I only assign a command to a max of 3 buttons. If i created a config with 7 different names for same pronto code I could essentially assign the same button 21 times. Why not just let me assign it an absurdly high number of times like 10 or 15? Is there any plans to make the Remote Programming software open source? I peeped through the github and didn't see it. This has been an incredible relief overall. This certainly has the promise to become as good as my beloved Harmony and is 80000x better than that absolute dogwater SofaBaton heap of garbage. Thanks for creating this product. I feel like if you've got amazon fulfillment, may as well have it listed on amazon as well? Would certainly get more eyeballs on it and vs the competition on there it's miles ahead.

In Flirc and flirc_util it's not possible (yet) to record just the Left Ctrl key on its own. That is most useful, for example in Android Keymapper, to have a modifier key on the remote. (Kind of like a sticky Ctrl key.) Come to think of it, I've searched for 'modifier key' in the forum, but it's probably an existing topic. Cheers! I may have used this command correctly to do just that: sudo ./flirc_util record_api 1 165 The '1' is the Left Ctrl modifier key, and the '165' is the Left Ctrl key in the 'IEEE HID' list. (Found in Whole world Google but also attached for your reference. As used by Flirc.) By the way it has to be said; the shipping company FedEx knew quite late about the import taxes into another country, they could have found out sooner, to avoid them being surprised. Like paying an exit fee. So they got that part back. (Thanks for the Skip 1s, no regrets:) Flirc IEEE HID keyboard keypad table info.txt

Did it again today. Same scenario. Remote sitting on top of smart phone, move remote to do a thing (take a call this time), put the phone back and then put the remote on top. This time it would probably about 30 seconds after the remote was set down before the remote issued the off command and the center LEDs cycled. In case anyone else sees this and wants some info, I'll be on vacation until Sept 16th so I won't respond until then. When I get back I'll try to set up some sort of mildly scientific experiment. Probably something like 1 week of setting the remote on the phone and another week of the remote never being with 3 feet of the phone and then repeating that cycle for a while to see if a pattern develops.

Hey I was able to create a basic device file for the R1280T. It supports only volume up and down, it can't turn off or mute the device. I've lost my original remote, but before that I set up these two buttons on a different remote, so I was able to read the IR command from it. Hope it helps. edifier_r1280t.json

That would be on the plex/jellyfin side. You would need to map the IR code sent by the skip1 to the command.

No remote that I know of has all the keyboard commands but the "Microsoft MCE Keyboard" device available in the harmony app seems to have all the keyboard commands available to assign to any remote button. It allows me to use the remote to execute keyboard commands or combos for shortcuts on a windows PC. I use it for activities involving Kodi or media monkey or anything else on the PC that I have connected to my TV. For example, I put app shortcuts on the task bar and can execute them from a remote as needed or at the start of an activity. I can send the WIN+4 command to open an app then send WIN+5 to run an NirCmd that switches the default audio device. Upon switching activities, I can send an Alt-F4 command to close the app and WIN+6 to switch the default audio device back to what it was. It all dependent on the order of the shortcuts placed on the task bar. When using Kodi with a Flirc USB on a Raspberry Pi, I think I needed to learn the letter 'T' command and the 'delete' command from my harmony remote configured with the "Microsoft MCE Keyboard" device. That way I was able to toggle subtitles with a single button and delete a video file with one button (no need to use the context menu to delete something). That's what I'm hoping to do with the Skip 1s. Other than that, the remote seems to work well and I'm getting used to the button placements. I'm also learning the app (just realized today that I can add delays).

Hi, I'm running the latest firmware from this forum (12) and the volume up/down buttons are extremely slow to activate. While the LG navigation buttons I used for the TV go into rapid-fire when holding them, and also react very quickly, this doesn't appear to work for the volume buttons I've set to control a Pioneer VSX/SC compatible receiver. The commands are sent once every second (and can take a long while after pressing the remote - this is another issue; the remote shouldn't be doing anything if no one is touching it). I also hope that this won't affect my final use case when my preamp (Topping Pre90) gets supported, and I'd want to control both at the same time with fast response times. Rapid fire in this scenario will be a disaster due to different behaviors of the devices, but when it's a single command for each, hopefully both can be sent quickly, and repeated quickly once the button is pressed again.

Hi Jason I just tested the new .json file: Thank you! The Volume works now. The Power Toggle works not yet as it should. What I found out: When I press the Power button once, it works. Pressing it the second time, it doesn't work. But it works if I press another button before pressing the Power button the second time. It seems to me, that the T+A needs something like a clearing to be able to work with the toggle command for the second time. Thought about the toggle function in general: The Power button on the remote is divided in On and Off. Would it be possible to give this option to every button? This would solve the problem of flipping back and forth with other commands, as we have it for the T+A and maybe other devices. The second function of a button would only be executed, if there exists a command. If empty, the button works normal. Looking forward to your answer.

Hi there In the buttons panel, we have 1 icon for 5 buttons. To make easier to see where a command is assigned to, I propose 5 different icons that put the button in gray, that is used for a specific command.

I use a Mac and note that the Skip app's "Quit Skip App" menu command has the "CMD-Q" keystroke greyed out. Any reasoning behind this at this time??? qb

Hi Jason I had finally the time to check your file. Everything works … exept Play Pause Toggle: It starts playing, but doesn't pause on second click. I checked, if this command would work from other NAD CD players in your list, but couldn't find one, that works. Please correct this problem. Thank you!

Not sure what I'm doing now... :) I connected the FLIRC USB to my windows laptop and I launched the command ''irtools.exe decode -l''' Then I was trying to point a remote controller (LED lamp) to the USB FLIRC to start learning the IR codes...but nothing happens. It stays with the message below... what am I doing wrong? Thanks No

I am trying to use my Harmony One remote to control my Nvidia Shield 2nd Gen device via Flirc In the Harmony One I used the Media Center PC, Flirc, Shield template for the IR commands. I am using the Invidia Shield Gen 2 controller in the Flirc software. I have sucessfully programmed all of the buttons except the "Back" button. The Harmony unit uses the "Back" command from the available command list, but when pushed it turns off the Nvidia Shield and my Samsung TV. I also tried the "Return" command but to no avail. This is frustrating because all of the other buttons work fine.

To program the Flirc USB dongle you'll need this (at the bottom) The Skip 1s remote sends IR signals, be it straight to a IR receiving device (TV) or to the Flirc Dongle (which is also an IR receiver). The dongle translates this signal to a HID command. The can be a keystroke. So anything you can't do with the Skip 1s software (at the moment), you can program with the Flirc software, like long press or keyboard commands. After programming you'll need to insert the dongle into the device you're running Kodi on. Granted, it's confusing. The Flirc dongle has built-in profiles. That why you can choose 'Flirc Kodi device' in the Skip 1s software. But not all profiles are build-in. You'll need the Flirc software to program key presses (as shown in he picture). The Flirc Software also has a Kodi profile, but it's not the same as the profile in the Skip 1s software and you'll not see changes made in Flirc in Skip and vice-versa. To recap: You can use only the Skip1s software to program the remote, but options are limited. You can use only the Flirc software to program the remote for keystrokes etc. but you can't program devices like a TV. You can use both Skip and Flirc to achieve your goals, but is has a steeper learning curve, various pitfalls and several inconsistencies between the software. Would be nice to have a Full Keyboard profile as a Flirc device in the Skip 1s software. You wouldn't need the Flirc software, but the programmers need to iron out all its current quirks first. That however, is a long list for another topic post
