chitza Posted February 16, 2017 Report Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) I map one remote button ("Up") to the Up key. Then I try to map the Down button to the Down key. I receive the "Button already exists" error.To confirm, I just press any of the directional keys and the "Up" key on the Flirc GUI lights up.flirc_util version v2.3.0 [v2.3.0+]Firmware: v4.0.10 [0xEEC0BEC4]Remote profiles I've triedSamsung TV remoteDenon AVR remoteHarmony 650 remote, Panasonic TV profile (as suggested by a Flirc support page)Harmony 650 remote, Plex Plex Player profilemany other remote profiles on Harmony 650I'm exhausted, I've tried so many profiles that I think I'm going to just give up on Flirc :(For the record, this is the output of flirc_util.exe settings flirc_util version v2.3.0 [v2.3.0+] Firmware: v4.0.10 [0xEEC0BEC4] Settings: sleep detection: NA noise canceler: NA inter-key delay: NA seq. modifiers: NA variant: Flirc builtin profiles: NA Memory Info: NA Recorded Keys: Index hash ID key ----- -------- -- --- 0 764C1A35 01 down 1 DDAA14B5 01 left Edited February 16, 2017 by chitza Quote
yawor Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 Can you add Flirc/Kodi to your Harmony and test if Flirc recognises each key separately? Quote
Andaho Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 I've also experienced this issue. I first resolved it by plugging flirc into a second PC, and then I was able to program it fine, for a little while... Then it started doing it on that PC too... I then uninstalled and re-installed the flirc software and found it works fine for one full programming.The "Button already exists" error returns if I try to re-program or add additional buttons - but it is always fixed by uninstalling/re-installing the software. - Annoying, but it worked.So try uninstall/re-install and see if that works for you?

BegetaZ Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 Thank you, I managed to solve my issue, however, my first try of reinstalling the app was unsuccessful. After it, I unplugged the flirc usb ir and uninstalled the app. I then installed the app again. I started the app and then plugged in the usb. I also plugged it in without using a usb extension cord for razer headphones which I used initially to get the ir in line of sight. Everything works great now and I do not have an issue with ir line of sight. Thank you very much! I will paste my reply in the thread you linked in case someone finds it helpful as it is also a new thread. Quote
