imbeta Posted December 15, 2013 Report Posted December 15, 2013 Hi All, Although I've been a long time user, this is actually my first post, which is proof my flirc has worked very well for a long time :-) So my issue is that from time to time, the flirc loses the configuration on shutdown/startup so I have to unplug it, go to my windows machine (I'm using it in an OpenElec media center), re-program it and plug it back to my media center. This issue has happened more and more frequently lately, up to the point in which it barely lasts a couple of reboots. Is it possible flirc has died? How could I check? Quote
jason Posted December 15, 2013 Report Posted December 15, 2013 Which version of the firmware are you using? It could be your remote losing battery life. Flirc is so timing sensitive, as the signals drift over time, that would trigger re-learning. Save the configuration in a known working state, then when it breaks, save it again and post both files. What's your firmware version? Quote
Bibihest Posted December 19, 2013 Report Posted December 19, 2013 Sounds weird, but I have somewhat the same problem for a couple of days. I have been using Flirc in my mediacenter for a year now, suddently a couple of days ago, it started acting up. Have to pull it out and back in or move it to other USB ports, to make it work again, every time I start up the mediacenter. After a while it will stop working again, can be 5 minutes, can be 60 minutes, totally random. Take it out and back in, and it works again for a while. My FW is 1.0. Wanted to try a new firmware, but none of the links are working Quote
akira Posted December 19, 2013 Report Posted December 19, 2013 The development firmware has been disabled. Download 1.0.5 from main page. Quote

What's your firmware version? OK, I just downloaded and installed v1.08. I have attached a working configuration file (flirc_config_working.fcfg) Dongle firmware is v1.0 (attached) This is what I did to 'break it': reboot > still working power-off and power on > still working Let openelec show the screen saver > broken reboot to test > still broken I have also attached the not-working configuration file (flirc_config_not_working.fcfg). It took me less than 40min to break it. flirc_config_not_working.fcfgflirc_config_working.fcfgfw_1.0.bin Quote
ginoscola Posted January 2, 2014 Report Posted January 2, 2014 The development firmware has been disabled. Download 1.0.5 from main page. same problem too :( Quote
jarek1979 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 Any updates on this issue? I cannot use my Flirc at all, it works about 2 minutes after every firmware upgrade. Quote
imbeta Posted February 20, 2014 Author Report Posted February 20, 2014 Shall we, OpenElec users, forget about using flirc? Quote
imbeta Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Posted February 25, 2014 dropping flirc, this lack of response is really deceiving -_- Quote
McFly Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 Hi ... i have a similar problem with my flirc, but my flirc only stop working when i disconnect my media pc from the power supply (e.g. when i got to bed). The next time i start my htpc it doesn't work, i have to unplug it, go to the pc, re-program it and plug it back to my media center. Is it a problem with the software or hardware (maybe it would help to change the flirc with a new one)? Quote
celevra Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 a workaround for the ones with only problems after shutdown could be to load the config on every boot at first save your config: flirc saveconfig /etc/flirc then put this line into your /etc/rc.local flirc loadconfig /etc/flirc.fcfg Quote
VonSwoopington Posted March 21, 2014 Report Posted March 21, 2014 I just bought a flirc today and i'm using it on a macbook pro running bootcamp windows 7 x64. I'm getting the same issue as it isn't recognized after waking up from sleep. Sometimes it works and other times a full restart plus unplugging is required. I'm using a logitech harmony one with the flirc profile. Firmware Version 2.3 Flirc v 1.2.2 Any help would be appreciated! Quote
