March 15Mar 15 comment_43412 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! Report

March 16Mar 16 Author comment_43416 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. Report

Do you mean within the flirc pairing app or outside, like in another app, i.e. 'notepad'? Report
March 17Mar 17 Author comment_43419 I mean with the flirc pairing app. There it shows my pressing of the remote control buttons. No other app is reacting. Report
March 21Mar 21 Author comment_43424 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! Report
