My buttons are going crazy fast after firmware upgrade

[EvilWayz]

So I just upgraded to 4.1 firmware on my nice new v2 Flirc dongle. And now, my keys are wayyyyyy too sensitive.  Is there something I can edit to slow them down?  Its just a regular old HP mce remote.   Before it was too slow.  Looking for the Goldilocks solution.

[jason]

re-record them, but when you record them, Press and Hold the keys. let me know if that's helpful

[EvilWayz]

All sorts of weird things started happening on the computer I was doing the recording on. 

Can't tell if the keys are less sensitive... Maybe I'm so used to the slow remote it will take a couple days to adjust.

atrocious spelling

I definitely fixed a bug related to repeats with 4.1.0. Keep me posted.

[EvilWayz]

I shall.  Im in the middle of trying to figure out why my Kodi backup won't restore properly, so I reckon ill be up all night.

[EvilWayz]

Another firmware upgrade and it is still doing it.  :/  Should I try downgrading to see what release this started.?

[jason]

No way to really downgrade. Post your config 

[EvilWayz]

I think this is the most recent one

my_flirc_config

[jason]

Can you also go to device_log, enable debugging, press and hold a button. After about a second, press it normally a couple times. Save and post that too. Thanks, I'll take a look.

[jason]

also, prior, if you pressed and held down a key, would it detect that you were holding it down?

[EvilWayz]

I don't know how to do the first thing.

 

As to the second if you mean if i held down the down key would t scroll down til i released it, the answer is yes

[jason]

You'll need the latest GUI and a second generation flirc: http://cl.flirc.io/lZuZ

and http://cl.flirc.io/lZuZ

In case this isn't enough, post what kind of remote you have.

[EvilWayz]

HP Windows RC1804905/06 Media Center Remote

Says my firmware is not supported , but theres nothing newer when i update apt.

[jason]

Do you have the first generation or second generation ?

[EvilWayz]

File->Advanced and force an upgrade. You should have been prompted.

What version of the GUI is it running?

[EvilWayz]

2.3.3

[jason]

can you do an apt-get update and an apt-get upgrade flirc

[EvilWayz]

tried that,  also its giving me a 404 error, does not have a release file.

[jason]

I just tried, was able to update it. Can you paste the output of: cat /etc/*-release

[jason]

doesn't make any sense. I'm able to update just fine. try installing manually: http://apt.flirc.tv/arch/x64/binary/

 

Download the latest and dpkg -i 'package'
