gosku Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Hi, I bought a flirc dongle for using with my iMac. I use Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and the Flirc GUI recognizes the device (it says it is connected). However, I cannot make the GUI to record any command. I tried the newest version too, but this one does not even recognize the device. Any other version that works for 10.6.8? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris! Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 I can't remember what version of mac flirc software works with, however you can program it on another device (windows/mac/linux) then plug it back into that iMac and use it. The software is only required to program flirc, not to use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosku Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 I have 2 macs with snow leopard, and then a raspberry with raspbian. I also tried through a virtual machine with windows, but it does not recognize it. Is there a version for raspbian (arm architecture)?

yawor Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 What virtualization software have you used? Have you set up the USB passthrough? Without this the virtualized Windows won't see Flirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosku Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 I did install a Lubuntu distribution in vmware and now I have access to the device. Thank You. However, I would recommend to remove the Mac Version for 10.6 because it is not working. Thanks again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
