Paul Tanner Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Dear Sir/Madam, I have been using a FLIRC Gen 1 to enable an old universal remote to control Kodi on my Raspberry Pii for a number of years. I have just replaced my controller with a One For All Essence remote and need to reprogram the FLIRC keys, which I haven't needed to do for a long time. I have connected the Flirc to a Windows 10 Home pc but device manager showed it could not find the driver. I followed an older forum post to resolve (https://support.flirc.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200712548-Using-the-ZADIG-Utility) using ZADIG, which enabled me to install a working driver. However when I install the latest app it shows the FLIRC as being disconnected. I have tried on two different windows 10 PCs now and it is the same on both. Please can you assist? (NOTE: I'm not very techy so may need a more detail instructions or advise than most). Many thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 https://flirc.io/nightly/Flirc GUI/win/Flirc-3.25.3-13-gdc69bb3.tar.gz Working on cleaning up the site a bit, so I can have an older installer for the driver. The package here does the install, let me know if you have any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalTea Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 So the file Jason linked to above didn't work for me. It said I was missing a .dll. What I did was: Go to https://flirc.io/nightly/Flirc%20GUI/win/ and download the Flirc Setup Old.exe file at the very bottom of the list. (currently last modified 1/13/2021) Run the installer. It will take awhile to install the driver, but when finished the app should detect your gen 1 Flirc with 1.0 firmware. In the Flirc app go to Help >> Check for Updates... and install the latest version. Finally, after the latest version of the Flirc app is installed in the Flirc app go to File >> Advanced >> Force FW Upgrade. You should be done. My Gen 1 Flirc now has Firmware v3.11.0. I know Jason is the admin so he probably knows best, but the steps above are what worked for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmello Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 (edited) Is 1st Gen no longer possible w/ Win10? Wouldn't be the first let down. UPDATE: I can confirm that RoyalTea's method worked. Thank you RoyalTea! Edited July 5, 2021 by bmello Found most recent post. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fl1rcDude Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Which latest version worked for you? 3.25.3-23 does not see flirc here, only the older version that I have does. This one got it up to 3.11 as well, but wants to upgrade to 3.12, which however never happens, and I´m wondering why this seems not to be happening at your end. I´m asking because 3.11 seems pretty buggy here, more details at: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
