On windows, there is a new utility called irtools.exe in the Flirc Application directory.

Using the commandline, run the following:

irtools.exe decode -l

Note the codes that are spit out and label them in a text file for me, like the following:

etc

I'll help convert this into something you can import into the app.

 

Thought I'd post this ^^^ here from another thread as I believe it answers both my above questions and may help others looking here that have a Flirc USB and want to get some pronto codes from a remote

Extra thanks so Jason!

I might be being thick but it seems the Admin/Brands tab Add button only accepts *.json files. What should I be doing with my .txt CSV file to get the JSON?

I think we added a JSON validator that broke text csv importing. Just tried it.

I'm using macOS 13.4.1 and wanted to check the Admin Mode

Your suggested Terminal command returns "zsh No such File or Directory" when I use

---

Mac Instructions:

In a terminal: echo  -e "{\n \"showAdminPanel\": true\n}" > ~/.config/SkipApp/config.json

---

I turned on Show Hidden files and my home directory is devoid of any /.config subfolder.

Where else to look?

do this first:
mkdir -p ~/.config/SkipApp/

Add this to the app Admin/Brands Tab with the Add button. Once done, you're device will show up in the app's wizard for you to assign buttons. Please share devices here and I will include them in the software for the community.

I'm struggling to add the TXT files via this step, considering the SkipApp file selection dialog filters the file list only to JSON files. Tried both on the Mac (selecting of .txt file is disabled) and on Windows (by forcing *.* at the filename field to make the file show, but failing to import the selected file since it's not a JSON file.)

Do you have a sample .txt format for me to try to import, or can you share the python script to convert them to JSON files?

 

I'm using version 0.9.92 Beta of the SkipApp.

I think I recall @jason saying that the latest version of the app no longer accepts the .txt files right now.

The python script is on 

I used this python script to successfully get a JSON file that worked. Good luck!

Worked with the linked script, but I had to adapt the protocol from "Pronto" to "PRONTO" otherwise the remote logs would give a message of invalid protocol.

Ah yeah, sorry I did that tweak too, forgot to mention!

How do you view the remote logs out of interest? Might help me with some other bits

Thanks! Are only those keys missing? Is there a windows media center remote with full keyboard keys?

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).

I feel like I'm missing something simple but trying to be self-sufficient.  When I use the attached .txt file I get the following:

C:\Users\#####\Downloads>python csv_to_skip.py c:\users\#####\documents\Topping-DX5-AV#Audio#Misc.txt > "Topping - DX5Pro.json"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\#####\Downloads\csv_to_skip.py", line 44, in <module>
    "label": row[0],
             ~~~^^^
IndexError: list index out of range

I'd like to learn how so I can add more as I can and then upload successful files here.  What am I doing wrong? (Windows 11)

Skip1s is awesome, I made a json for my HDMI switch, and it works flawlessly!

I have attached the json, if that helps anyone :)

Just got my skip1s and so far it's working really well... except for ONE small thing. I'm use a FireTV on my LG OLED TV (OLED65A1AUA), and I've been trying to get the 1s to control most of the commands needed for it via the TV's HDMI-CEC functionality. However, there is one button that I need to create a sequence to be able to program the 'HOME' command, which will take me to the Fire Stick's 'Home' screen.

The LG TV remote is the MR21GC magic remote. On it, there is a button that has a '...' image on it, labelled as the 'More Actions' button. Pressing this button opens up a context menu with additional commands for the Fire Stick remote, one being the 'Home' command.

I've tried all of the commands available when assigning the LG Category's 1 and 2 models from the Skip App database, but none of them are able to open this 'More Actions' context menu.

Is there a way I can get some help figuring out how I can get the 1s remote to 'press' this 'More Actions' button from the LG Magic Remote? I've attached the TV's documentation which included the button layout for it. There are also some key codes at the end of the manual, but I can't figure out how to use this to do what I'm looking to do... any help would be greatly appreciated.
