Unable to learn with Xfinity Remote

[hollabaxta]

Whenever I try and setup my FLIRC to learn from my Comcast Xfinity remote it always says "button already exists." I clear it, I clear it.  Nothing works.  It will not learn off this remote.  This is the remote I am trying to pair my key presses with --> http://amazon.com/dp/B00FP1B8LY/ref=pe_385040_121528360_TE_dp_1

 

 

If anyone knows what to do Id appreciate it

Upgrade your firmware, file->advanced, force firmware upgrade.

Or,

 

disable builtin profiles in advanced settings.

I'm having the same problem with a very similar remote:

http://www.amazon.com/Xfinity-Comcast-XR5-X1-BackLight/dp/B00SGSKR56

 

I've force udpated the firmware, disabled built-in profiles, turned off the lights, and tried from farther away.

 

Anything else I can try?  Thanks!

[fstrife]

would changing the sensitivity help at all or is this remote unsupported?

[jason]

can you post a pic to your comcast infinity remote?
 

fstrife, I'm going to pick one of these up, I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for posting a link.

thanks Jason!

I really hope it works as the remote is one of my favorites (inexpensive, backlight turns on when picked up, has basic control for tv and receiver, large navigation pad, not too cluttered)

Just wondering if you had any luck figuring out the issue?  I ordered the remote thinking it should work fine with Flirc...however like you can program one button.  Flirc acts like all the buttons are tied together and each isn't sending their own command.  This makes me wonder if the remote has to be pseudo paired somehow to get all the buttons to function.  Thanks!

no luck yet.

hoping jason can come up with a solution.

I picked one up, let me track down my testing results.

Hope you have luck Jason!  This remote is only 8 bucks from Amazon..with back lighting and such its a steal!

Hi Jason, any update on this?  Thanks!

Yeah, I got mine and it's not working. It looks like a standard 38khz frequency, but I'm going to say the wavelength of the light is funny. It's just not working and it's going to take me time to figure out why. Sorry, guys, not something I'm going to be able to get too right away, I have a ton on my plate.

Any new updates on this remote.  The XR2 that I originally posted about.  Id really like to be able to have my all in one remote control my HTPC!

Still hoping this can be supported.

Any Progress on the XR2 remote?  It appears mine programs, but it doesn't actually work...

I symlinked readline 6 to readline 7 to get flirc_util to work.  Probably better not to strip the binary.
