Ashardis Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Hey there. I just experienced some visually confusing stuff in the GUI. If you select any other controller than "Minimalist", you can move the key layout up and down by pressing Page Up/Down. It doesn't seem to conflict with anything, it's just annoying when you're trying to program the remote with PageUp/PageDown and it subtracts from the "user experience". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris! Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Yup, looks like it. I'll keep an eye on the new beta's so it doesn't creep it's way into the next release Thanks for reporting, How are you find Flirc in general though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashardis Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Thanks for answering, Chris - I've been on hols, so couldn't reply. I'll give the feedback here, you can move it to a more relevant forum/trim this post as you please. I have actually had a fair amount of trouble with the flirc. I can program it wonderfully easy and put it to use with no problems. Then.. after 3-6 hours of use, one of the buttons will "stick". Eg. I watch a few movies, then I push left on the remote and flirc sends out left endlessly. If I then press something else, eg. right or any other key that I've programmed in, THAT key repeats itself endlessly. I can get flirc to repeat any of the programmed buttons endlessly in this mode. I could understand if there was some spurios IR signals that got in and triggered one key, but repeating whatever keypress I send to it endlessly, for me, suggests that there's a problem. I can then take the flirc out of the USB port, wait until the next day, clear + re-program the flirc and it will work again for some hours until it gets stuck again. I initially used my flirc on a 10m buffered/powered USB extension cable and I thought the misc error was because of power problems. I then put the flirc directly into a mobo usb port for testing/programming and it exhibited the same behaviour. I am using firmware 1.00 and GUI 0.96 (as delivered by MannMadeMediaCentres) and I have not yet tried to upgrade the firmware/GUI as I can see people have had mixed results with this via this forum. At this point in time, I am awaiting the finished firmware and new programmer utility as I hope this will fix my problem. Just to clarify : I am using flirc on a windows pc, not R-Pi or any exotic creature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris! Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Oh no! Let's sort this out What remote are you using to control flirc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashardis Posted June 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 It's a Sony! I am also quite confident that I blocked the remote off, so no IR could be emitted and the keypresses kept repeating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Shouldn't be happening. Could you do a few things. Could you upload your configuration file to this forum, and could you also try uploading the 1.0 firmware again. It's right here: Download We'll get it sorted out.

Ashardis Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Okies - I plugged the flirc back in and right away it started simulating keypresses even with the remote being off (batteries removed). I managed to load up the GUI and flash the flirc with the V1.0 firmware. then I cleared contents and recorded the remote signals and for now it's working fine. I'll be back with edits/additional posts later tonight (9:24am here in Denmark) once it's had a chance to repeat its bad behaviour, but fingers crossed!
