revin Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 First off I want to say that I really really really want this to work. I'm a fan of what the team is doing. I'm getting frustrated. My situation is very simple. I have a windows PC running Kodi connected to an LG tv. I've attached a Flirc (firmware 4.10.2) to the PC. I've setup the remote using the skip app (v0.9.956) with one activity. That activity has 2 devices; the LG and the Flirc. That's it. Activity setup: Navigate : Flirc Media/music control : Flirc Audio control: LG Buttons on the remote that control audio work flawlessly. Never a missed button press, never a double press. It just works. This is great. This telss me the remote is sending what it's supposed to be sending.(??) Buttons that control the Flirc.. not so much. Button presses aren't registered or are seen or do anything. Sometimes there are double presses (meaning if I press play/pause while it's playing, I can see the show pause then it immediatly starts again. More button presses aren't registered by the Flirc to the PC, than button presses that are. I have to press a button 3,5 or 8 times before it works. Yes I've changed batteries.. many times just in case. When pressing "power" on the remote, the PC doesn't shutdown nor does it startup automatically. I's there some docs that perhaps I missed? Additionally.. really need a page up/page down button for Kodi :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 The device that controls flirc. What is the profile you are using on the skip app? Where is the flirc located on the PC that's in your room? It wont turn off / turn on the computer. Can't do that over USB. You can go into sleep mode though. Pair a code in the Flirc USB app in media keys, suspend/wake. Add this to the Power Up and Power down activity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revin Posted January 31 Author Report Share Posted January 31 I don't understand the first question. PC -> Flirc -> Kodi? Flirc is right on the front of the PC. Clear line of sight to the remote. Turn on/off.. that what I meant. I tend to use hibernate mode when pressing the power buttong on the PC, but I'll try sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revin Posted January 31 Author Report Share Posted January 31 (edited) Side note.. I have to install the Skip App on a PC other than the media center to program the remote. When I try installing on the media center PC I get the following error: App installation failed with error message: Deployment Add operation with target volume C: on Package SkipApp_0.9.956.7101_x64__sddpyax1dmvqm from: (SkipApp-0.9.956-Beta-x64.msix) failed with error 0x80073B01. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=235160 for help diagnosing app deployment issues. (0x80073b01) I've never seen that error before.

revin Posted February 5 Author Report Share Posted February 5 Is there something I can do to help debug this? It's getting quite frustrating. Running logs? export config? what can I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Have you tried relearning the buttons within the Flirc app? While there, you can switch to the Full Keyboard controller and add Pg Up and Pg Down to some pre-programmed dummy keys on the Skip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revin Posted February 7 Author Report Share Posted February 7 (edited) Yes, I've reprogrammed them all. Issue remains. The majority of the time I have to press a button 2, 4, or 6 or more times before it registers. What can I do to help debug this? Are there logs I can gather? Runtime traces?

This is really a Flirc issue, it sounds like. Simplest way to debug is to plug the flirc into a computer, open the app, go to File - Device Log, and then in the new window tick Enable IR Debugging. Ideally you'd do this with a laptop in the same environment as where it's sitting normally. Then you'll be able to see whether the codes are showing up in your Flirc as you send them.

revin Posted February 19 Author Report Share Posted February 19 There is other issues with this minipc. I'm going to reformat over the next few days and try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revin Posted February 29 Author Report Share Posted February 29 I think you are right. The issue seems to be with the Flirc. I'll close this thread and start looking in the Flirc posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
