Hi, I've had my flirc for a while, but I've started to use it again and getting some problems

First, is that any key flirc recognises from my Sony TV remote, wakes my PC if it's asleep. This never used to happen. For example I have the pause button linked as pause, if I'm watching netflix on the tv and press pause, it will turn my PC on? This goes for any key, so makes either flirc or my remote unusable  if my PC is asleep, so to avoid it being woken all the time I'm having to unplug my flirc

Another problem I've had since I got the flirc, is that when trying to pause or resume something, it will press it twice a lot of the time. I.e. resume and then pause immediately and vice versa. I've put the inter-key delay to 7 but it hasn't fixed anything.

 

I'm running 2.5.7 on the latest fw (that I was offered), windows 10, remote is a sony bravia xd8005 remote. Attached is my config

 

Thanks in advance!

looks like you have an original flirc. Is that right? With this version, any key that has previously been recorded, will wake your machine up. Unless you record a 'wake' key which can be found in the GUI on the keyboard controller.

If you don't want to wake the computer up at all, you can disable this in the advanced settings.

Thanks for your quick reply!

Yes original flirc. So is it not possible to record a sleep key if I set a key to be "wake"? 

Is the setting to not wake the computer "sleep detection"

Also any idea on the double pause issue? 

 

Thanks

Setting a key to wake worked! But I'd really like the same key to sleep the PC too when it's on. This not possible?

Sorry to spam. but the double issue only seems to affect when the keys are assinged to pause or resume. If I set my rmeote keys to the space bar, it works properly

You have two keys assigned to pause: http://cl.flirc.io/m3tx

Not sure why, you want me to delete those so you can re-record them?

There is another button you could use which is the following: http://cl.flirc.io/m3mD

But uses a second button. Would need a firmware update to solve that.

Hmm unsure how that happened. Yea sure thanks!

I was using that wake suspend button, but was having the issues with any key waking it with that

Okay, here is a config with that deleted.

Using space for both play and pause has worked pretty well

With the wake/suspend, any way to use it without enabling every key to wake the pc?

Thanks for your help!
