Situation: Fiirc USB v2 to control my KPN TV set-top box. (Sagemcom DIW7022 modified) wit Harmony Hub.

I have a working configuration downloaded from This Website. But some controls are missing. I can control those with a Logitech K400r keyboard plugged into the STB. so I want to add those functions via a record_api script in a .bat file. I found the HID codes after quite a lot of online research.

The script has randomly (?) worked 2 times, but 99% of the times it just hangs waiting for a IR input at the first button. This is on a w11 laptop and a w11 desktop PC. I tried compatibility modes XP, vista, 7 , 8. Different USB port etc.

try putting in a sleep 200 ms after each record. You probably have a race condition.

wait, at the first record? That doesn't make sense. What if you do the command by itself without all the other stuff in front of it? 

Just do this on it's own: flirc_util.exe record_api 0x2 0xA6

If that works reliably, it's something else related to windows
