Zero69 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) I see everyone saying you can setup the flirc se with the command line utility to power on a streacom pc from off but how exactly do you do that and i mean if someone could please provide step by step instructions. Since this is not in the gui this is pretty confusing. Edited June 23, 2017 by Zero69 Quote

clive Posted February 7, 2018 Report Posted February 7, 2018 Hello Flirc People. I too am a command line dummie. Reading various replies to queries I have finally managed to launch flirc_util.exe in the command prompt (Win 10). However, I don't seem to be able to get any of the commands to work.

FrogFan2 Posted February 8, 2018 Report Posted February 8, 2018 I'll jump in here and stand corrected by one of the experts if necessary. You're in the wrong directory when you issue the Flirc commands when using flirc_util.exe. Make sure you run flirc_util from the directory in which is resides. In your case, it looks like that is C\Program Files (x86)\Flirc. Thus, if you want to run a "keys" command, then type, without the quotes, "flirc_util.exe keys" from the prompt C\Program Files (x86)\Flirc. You're trying to run the command from C:\Users\Clive. That's not where flirc_util.exe resides. I'm a noob myself. I just figured out how to run this utility. 1 Quote
yawor Posted February 8, 2018 Report Posted February 8, 2018 Exactly as @FrogFan2 explained. To be more specific, you have two options: cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Flirc\" flirc_util.exe record power or straight away: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Flirc\flirc_util.exe" record power There's also an option to add "C:\Program Files (x86)\Flirc\" to the PATH environment variable, which would allow you to execute flirc_util.exe from any location. To add Flirc to your PATH follow this page: https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm (just one of the first results when searching "windows add to path" in Google). 1 Quote
clive Posted February 9, 2018 Report Posted February 9, 2018 Thanks to both of you (@FrogFan2 & @Yawor) for your pointers. In 20+ years of using computers I've opened Command Prompt probably fewer than a dozen times. So, I can see that I'll need to do some reading about the command prompt before I can take the next step and create my long press keys. You do realise that the examples in the Flirc Gen2 manual are Linux (?) syntax not Windows which also make things a little confusing to neophytes such as myself. Once again thank you for giving your time on the forum. My $'s would have been wasted without you. Quote
