firevsh2o Posted March 15 Report Posted March 15 Long story short; I broke the first rule of computing: "Never change a running system!" I installed a Flirc USB gen 2 on my mac in 2019 and it worked flawlessly since then. Even changing computers didn't do harm to it. So I updated the Flirc software on my M1 Mac Mini. Now I see that the Flirc-software still recognised my remote, but my computer does not. (Software shows "connectet", I see my programmed remote control buttons beeing pressed correctly, Firmware got updated in the process) Git Version: 3.27.19 I can't think of anything else I could try. Any suggestions? Thanks! Quote

firevsh2o Posted March 16 Author Report Posted March 16 Thank you for your reply! Yes, I installed a - much - newer version of the Flirc software, and then the firmware update started. What do you mean with "repairing" in detail? As far as a I can see - my Flirc recognises my remote control - but my Mac does not recognise my Flirc as a keyboard - If that makes any sense. Quote

Do you mean within the flirc pairing app or outside, like in another app, i.e. 'notepad'? Quote
firevsh2o Posted March 17 Author Report Posted March 17 I mean with the flirc pairing app. There it shows my pressing of the remote control buttons. No other app is reacting. Quote
firevsh2o Posted March 21 Author Report Posted March 21 Hooray, it's working again! Unfortunately, I can’t say for certain what the problem was. I fiddled with all sorts of settings and now it’s working again. Thanks for trying to help! Quote
