Hi to all,

Just bought a Skip s1 and have been running it though it's paces.  I have had a Flirc USB for years and love it. 

Was using a Harmony elite but it finally gave up the ghost.  I picked the Skip because I like how Flirc has approached the issues with remotes with the USB and Skip.  I build things and I like the Flirc ethos.  "These big companies have no clue about this market space I can do it better." 

I do not have to complicated setup.  I have a Sony XR-77A80CJ, a Sony UBP-X700, HTPC windows 10 running Kodi, and a Denon AVR-X4200W.

I an on Skip s1 firmware version 4.13.11-0-gd4238fe. Most every thing is working fine.  The biggest problem i have run in to is repeat commands when I only want one. I setup a alt-tab key to change between Kodi and a web browser on my HTPC using Flirc USB and it works fine when I map it to a remote of choice colored key but when I record it over to the skip I get a repeat command.  So here are a few questions

• Am I on the most current or recommended firmware version?
• I have seen an admin option in the forums, how do I enable it?
• I have also notice that the remote will lockup ever once in a while.  Pulling to battery seems to fix this but was wondering if this was a know issue and had been address with a firmware update?

What ever feed back I can give to help this product I'm all in.

Hi to All,

Doing a little debugging. Capture button from Denon green I have mapped to atl-tab with flirc usb and then captured button from skip s1 mapped to recorded denon green button.

Using Flirc usb devicelog with enable IR debugging checked to capture raw data and porting it to AnalysIR to debug.

Hex for both are identical

Hex
2A 4C 02 89 28 A3
2A 4C 02 89 28 A3
When I review the raw data I see what looks like the data being sent twice for both remotes.

The difference is the the pause between the 2nd command.

The denon is 74000 microseconds.

and the Skip s1 is much faster at 42000 microseconds.

To fast?

New to debugging IR so take it with a grain of salt.

Also noticed pulses were different

 

Denon Green button

Value    2A4C028928A3

# Bits    48
# Pulses    300

I found how to enable admin here:  

Used Sysinternals Process Monitor to track down skip version I'm running  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon#download

Dropped config.json here C:\Users\Beaker\AppData\Local\Packages\SkipApp_nk6j7xazwq5t8\LocalState\ and restart skip.

Admin tab very cool.

Posting the raw data from the green button on my DENON AVR-X4200W that I have mapped to alt-tab in the flirc usb:

 The Skip repeats the command the Denon does not.

 

Any help would be most appreciated.
