cfarence Posted November 22, 2014 Report Posted November 22, 2014 So I have had this Flirc for a while now, and actually own two one for each HTPC I have. Today while redoing my wiring, I decided I also wanted to create some custom key shortcuts to program into the Flirc. I saw that my version was quite outdated and proceeded to update to the latest 3.1 firmware. After doing so I noticed the Flirc stopped working with XBMC, I booted up the software on another computer and inserted the Flirc. For some reason any key that I press results in the one key being pressed on the Flirc. I have tried erasing the configuration the Flirc but when I reprogram it, when I get to the second key to program it tells me that the key already exists. But how can that be possible when I haven't even programmed that key yet. Clicking cancel results into the first key still working and the second I tried program also pushing the first key. For example programming the right arrow on my remote works fine after clearing everything. When trying to program the left arrow it brings up "Key already exists", clicking cancel results in both keys the right and left belonging to the right arrow. So right now I have a Flirc that is pretty useless. Quote
jason Posted November 22, 2014 Report Posted November 22, 2014 Well get it fixed. Hang in there I'm traveling. What kind of remote do you have? Quote
cfarence Posted November 22, 2014 Author Report Posted November 22, 2014 I'm a regular Fios remote that I've been using with the Flirc for months no,. it's a VZ P265v3 RC if that helps. Thanks for taking the time to read this while your traveling :) Quote
jason Posted November 22, 2014 Report Posted November 22, 2014 My pleasure. Well at the very least I can get you back on the previous version. I'm certain it's something particular with the protocol. I just need to sit down and look at it. Go to advanced and do a force firmware upgrade. What is the bootloader. Also make sure your not point the remote to close to Flirc. Point it up at the ceiling and see if that helps. Quote
cfarence Posted November 22, 2014 Author Report Posted November 22, 2014 It's using Bootloader 2.0, I also tried pointing the remote at the ceiling to no avail. After programming the first key any key after that results into the problem. :( Quote
jason Posted November 22, 2014 Report Posted November 22, 2014 I'm going to be tied up on planes for 10 hours. Shoot me an email at the support email address and I'll send you the old firmware while I try to figure out what to do next. Quote
AstroMonkey Posted December 5, 2014 Report Posted December 5, 2014 Did you ever find a solution for your problem. I'm having the same issues with a VZ P265v4. Quote

AstroMonkey Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 What version is working for you? I think I found a link to download the old versions, but not sure which one to try. Quote
