Julian Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Is it possible to get the Flirc to shutdown WIndows/ PC when pressing my remote 'off' button? I have set the WIndows power options to shutdown and not sleep when the power button is pressed, and have tested this by manually pressing the button. When I use the remote and Flirc the machine just goes to sleep and does not do a full shutdown. I have tried using the Flirc GUI and selecting the Boxee power button and assigning it to my remotes power button, but it just sleeps.

Julian Posted August 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Just to confirm, I have tried in the Command Prompt 'flirc_util.exe record power', upon receiving message 'Successfully recorded button' back, I press the recorded button and the machine does nothing :-( I don't understand where or why it's not working.

jason Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 I don't believe usb devices can shut down machines. I believe suspend is the best bet. However, you can get a hot script to run on a keyboard combination which shuts down the machine, and then assign that keyboard combination to a remote control button. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift-HD Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 I've the same Problem. I mapped a Shutdown Shortcut (shutdown.exe /p) to STRG+ALT+S and mapped these Combination to Flirc Full Keyboard and a Button on my remote.On setting these Button in the Flirc software, the PC shuts down immediately! BUT on another boot and then i press the shutdown button on the remote - nothing happens! WHY? Thanks ,Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
