Overall quite happy with the remote, does what I hoped it could (I have replaced the smarts of my TV with a mini Linux Mint PC and this is perfect for that purpose) I note many people have mentioned the inconvenience of having to set the remote buttons to some random thing or other before programming them via the USB software. I can see why that might be, as having a default code for all the buttons would likely lead to some case of accidentally activating some device in the wild, which would be bad. It would be good to explain this maybe in one or both softwares somewhere, maybe have a default profile in the remote app specific for the USB app (with a backup option in case of the above). This would be more intuitive than the current recommended solution of setting the profile to Kodi or other. One other small thing, USB app doesn't scale properly on Linux Mint or Windows. Works fine, but window is tiny for a TV/large monitor

I’ve seen a similar feature recommended for the remote that’s basically a “shift” key modifier to the base 3 activity’s. However, I was thinking more app side being able to make multiple activities and just setting three as the three buttons or having it possible to download and upload specific activity files, not just the entire remote. A bonus function of downloading and uploading would be you’d be able to back up specific activities before messing with them. That way I would be able to have my 3 main activities and be able to swap out my third activity for a test activity in between testing sessions.

Hi all, I’ve just gotten my Skip1s and USB bundle. Really excited and trying to get things set up, but I’m running into a problem I can’t seem to solve. Issue: Can’t control Plex via Skip1s as programmed in Skip app Set up: Skip1s programmed “PC” for “Flirc” and “Plex” in Skip app v0.9.956 beta. Synced to “A” Activity button FLIRC USB and software v3.27.10 Windows 11 Pro Plex HTPC v10.0.22631 Observations: Controls as programmed via the settings synced from Skip app to “A” activity don’t trigger the expected behaviour in Plex. I am able to program some aspects of Plex controls with Skip1s via FLIRC USB software, but not all (so obviously not desirable long term). When no settings are programmed in FLIRC USB software and the device log is set to “Enable IR Debugging”, IR signals from Skip1s are detected. Activity “B” settings for TV and Soundbar work as programmed in Skip app. FLIRC USB doesn’t show in Windows Device Manager, including, hidden devices. Attempted remedies: Full system restart Powered Skip1s off/on via removal of batteries for >10 minutes Moved FLIRC USB to multiple alternative usb ports, including a usb hub, front panel and mobo backplate I/O. Program desired settings to activities “B” and “C” via Skip app Reset Skip1s settings in Skip app, used Skip app on alternative windows machine to set up Skip1s as a new device. Used FLIRC USB and software on alternative machine. Outcome: Issue persists, namely, input via Skip1s remote results in no action in Plex. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I love this product already, I just want to make this work and it’ll be perfect.
