johnbird03 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hi all, Firstly I would like to say how happy I am with flirc. Great product. It is working perfectly except when I want to hold down my remote left or right key to scan over large movie libraries. I have updated the flirc with latest stable driver, and using xbmc with a WD TV live remote. Any advice would be most welcome. Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yawor Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Some remotes don't send the same code when button is long pressed. It is possible that your remote sends one code at the beginning and after it detects a long press it changes code to another. Some remotes even send multiple codes in cycle on long press. You can try recording the same button one more time but hold the button on remote before starting recording. You will get either a success (then the code is different) or "button already recorded" (then there is some other problem). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 make sure you are on the latest firmware too, firmware v2.6. Should read that at the bottom of the GUI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbird03 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Hi, thanks for the responses. Jason, I am using v2.6. Yawor, button already recorded box shows when I try holding the button down. Is the issue with the remote, if so what had you found that works well?

jason Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Make sure the interkey delay is 3 through 6. Let me know if that helps. Could be your remote doesn't support it. Sorry for the delay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaccki Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 they say "better" is enemy of "good" and unfortunately it's true for me I had a perfectly working remote (from tbs 6281) on some old 2.6 firmware (maybe beta, I don't remember) and decided to upgrade for some reason to stable 2.6 (gui was freezing occasionaly and I thought it may help) And now "hold and press" doesn't work for me anymore (while 10mins before upgrade it was working like a charm). I'm on beta 3.0 rc4 firmware and it is the same here If anyone know how to solve this issue please share here. It's not a big deal but I got used to just press "volume up/down" button instead of training my fingers Maybe I could try all old 2.6 betas again but not sure where to find them ? Apart from that I'm in love with flirc so great work guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from that I'm in love with flirc so great work guys! It's not implemented yet. I re-wrote everything. Hang in there, I'm just about done wrapping up built in profiles. I'll try my best to finish that one before the weekend. If you want to revert, let me know by pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaccki Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 I'm ok to wait and test new version once you have it done. I assume it will be 3.0 rc5 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 or 3.0 rc6. I'll make note of what each features in the release notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
