[jper]

Hey Guys,

Just ordered my Flirc today and also order a Philips SRU5108/27.

As soon as I get the Flirc and the remote, I will get to testing and let you all know how it goes!

Excited to be apart of the community.

Amazing, not expensive and cool features. Loving the keys illumination and 8 device support. Looks like a perfect option to replace my actual $2 generic chinese universal remote.

Give us feedback when you got it in hands.

Remote arrived today. No Flirc yet, looks like tomrrow is delivery day.

So far so good though. Paired with my TV and sound system easily. Learned some additional commands quickly too. If all is smooth with the Flirc I'll let you know.

Welcome to the forums! Looking forward to hearing your results!

Any results yet? I have been unable to set up this remote+flirc+xbmc osx.

Hi Jmhthefirst,

 

I like to believe the reason most people don't follow some of the threads up is because flirc is working fine with there remote. That said let's try some stuff to see if we can't get flirc and philips remote working for you.

 

1) Clear the configuration (in the flirc gui: file ---> clear configuration)

2) try programming the arrow keys on your remote to direction up, down, left and right.

3) Open a file browser (e.g. finder on mac, windows explorer on windows... etc), try using the direction arrows.

 

Any luck?

Thank you for your attentiveness, Chris. I will try when I'm home in a few days.

Hi Chris!  No luck.  FLIRC says "recorded successfully" but the buttons do nothing in finder.

[Jmhthefirst]

Flirc.  I apologize.

Happy to report that after disabling Remote Buddy, the Philips buttons are responding!  I will gladly dig through the guides and forum to fine tune it's usage.  Thank you for your help.  Any idea how to make the arrow buttons send multiple keypresses so that I can scroll menus instead of navigating one press at a time?  My keyboard functions this way innately.

Glad it's working.

 

It's likely due to the profile (device) you have your remote set to. We recommend TV profiles as they tend to repeat the signal they send when they are held down. Try a TV manufacturer that isn't the same as the TV you use (e.g. If you have a Sony TV, use a Samsung profile)

Reviving the thread in case anyone else is interested in this family of remotes.

 

I just got my Flirc and had a Philips SRU5106/27 - essentially the same remote but only 6 functions.

 

http://www.urc.philips.com/ is useful for finding codes, and here are a few I tried:

 

Mediacenter PC > MCE/Microsoft/Vista all use code 1611. All of the buttons appear to work, however, there seems to be a bit of delay between commands being recognized.

 

TiVo codes don't seem to enable the 4 color buttons.

 

The generic DVD Playes > Blu-Ray code 1742 has a number of duplicates, but 1941 seems to work perfectly - all buttons are recognized properly, can repeat, and respond quickly.  I've set that up under as the DVR device and don't see any obvious issues.

 

Anyway, loving it so far!  Exactly the solution I've been looking for!!!

Hi,

 

I'm using the SRP5107.

 

TV is for my TV, and I would like to add a fake remote to another button, did someone found a code with almost all buttons recordable and different?

I tried 1941 but the remote is refusing it :(
