jason Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 There is a whole lot in here I don’t understand. flirc just translates remote buttons as keyboard keys. If a keyboard works, flirc will work. try a keyboard. If that doesn’t work, something is wrong. I don’t understand the need to setup flirc and then set it up again a second time ( the first manually recording and the second with harmony). What am I missing?

bl4scott Posted July 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) Thank you for the reply Jason. Are you familiar with Roon? I am trying to use my Harmony remote to pause, FF, and go back songs. That's all. I am only setting up flirc once, recording "space bar, ctrl-K and ctrl-J. I tried setting up the keyboard and was able to record ctrl-k but when I try ctrl-j and space bar I get this: Edited July 29, 2020 by bl4scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Is it possible your keyboard language is not us on one of the machines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bl4scott Posted July 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Not sure what you mean? Does it matter what machine I use to record or does it need to be done on the "core"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 I’m sorry, what is the ‘core’? Can you send me a direct message, and we can do a chat session so I can help you more in real time. I’m sure this is frustrating, and I’m sorry. It’s just me, and I can’t get anyone to the office to help me because of the pandemic, and I’m overloaded with a ton of bullshit work that eats most of my day.

TupuHumunukunukuapuaa Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 In case anyone else runs into this problem, a solution to try is to use a zone name that doesn't contain spaces. Right after renaming my zone in Roon from two words with a space in between to one word and then updating the name in Ropieee, I was able to use the media buttons (Play, stop, Next, Prev). The commands started working without a reboot of Ropieee (of course I did eventually). I think this is a matter for the Ropieee author and in the threads where I've seen people post about issues like ours I don't see anything about a solution or mention of the zone name format.
