Flappy Flirc Posted January 8 Report Posted January 8 Hi, looking to buy a new case for a Pi5, obviously to build an htpc. Having a lot of good experience with Flirc USB on previous builds, I was thinking that the Flirc case would have Flirc USB functionality and/or the possibility to power on by remote (just as the TV). Can't find anything about this in the specs. Did I miss something? Is there a solution to this that would work with/fit into the Flirc case? Thanks! Quote

I don't like it, and didn't want to waist time on it. This was just previewed in the latest December 25 issue of the raspberry pi magazine: https://flirc.tv/pages/teaser_sail1m It's for the CM5. Trying to wrap it up now. Quote
Flappy Flirc Posted January 9 Author Report Posted January 9 Thanks for this pointer. With preview you mean the teaser on page 121 which is essentially identical to the website you linked above? Or did I miss something? By the way, when I try to add my e-mail address for notification on the teaser pager, I get (besides a strange automatic capitalization of letters of the mail address I'm typing) the error "OOPS! SOMETHING WENT WRONG" So, no notification for me to see what this will actually be? Quote
Flappy Flirc Posted January 18 Author Report Posted January 18 FYI, still getting the error when I'm trying to enroll for the notification. Quote

Sounds interesting, especially if it supports remote power like a TV. The CM5 version could be worth waiting for - hopefully it brings more flexibility and better integration with Flirc cases.
