smithr Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I am using the windows GUI to program my new FLIRC for DVB Dream. I mapped Ctrl-Shift-Up but it is not being recognised by DVB Dream. Having tested the button with a program that outputs key presses, I noticed that the sequence output by FLIRC is: Ctrl key_down Shift key_down Up key_down Ctrl key_up Shift key_up Up key_up. I think that the problem is that the DVB Dream application is registering the Up key_up event and at this point the Ctrl and Shift keys have been released. How can I solve this problem? I've tried searching but I can't find anything about this in the help, forums or anything obvious within the GUI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithr Posted May 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Actually, it would be nice if the app could just record a sequence of key presses and play that back, that is how my logitech mouse works when programming it's additional buttons.

Chris! Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I believe Flirc sends combinations all at exactly the same time. We had an issue with windows media centre and this kind of thing: Bad news: If it is this, I don't have a work around I can suggest. Sorry!

smithr Posted June 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 I guess it is related the the other thread. I tried mapping the keys in reverse order (e.g, clicking up, then shift, then ctrl) hoping that this would mean that the shift and ctrl where still 'pressed' during the up_keyup event but when I do this it only outputs the up key. Is the order/timing of keys due to the hardware or could it in theory support more complex timing? Ideally the gui would record a key combination and play it back verbatim..

I've been led to believe that it is possible to implement, no ETA on it though unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithr Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Well, I'll keep my fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
