Playstation 5 I'm not sure has IR support. But if it support a keyboard, flirc should work. Yes, I have the original remotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one on the right is a windows media center remote. Im sure I can figure out what to do for the left one. It’s probably a generic remote. Did you get a flirc with your order?

Following devices I cannot find in the database: shuttle (Xpc) Cambridge audio: AXR 100D Sony: Playstaion5 With many devices, finding something in the same brand that seems similar should get you most of the way there. If you add Audio - Cambridge Audio - Minx TV, TV2, and TV5, it might actually work fine. Worth testing when you get your remote. edit: needless to say, these more interesting remotes are where our plans for learning and creating a library of new remotes will be so useful. You guys who backed the kickstarter and pre-orders definitely sped up the time when we'll get to that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c.dennis Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 (edited) Hi, I found my set top box and TV but I have a hard time to find my Pioneer VSX-LX50 amplifier/receiver I found several VSX-SC models in the app and the HTZ-LX/XV-LX series but i'm not sure if that would be a good match. Could it be possible to add the VSX-LX50 model or the VSX-LX series in a future update?

Windows prompted with "Select an app to open this msix file" and two options Notepad or Windows Media player. I have tried this in Windows 11 pro sandbox mode, what's going wrong here, am i missing something ? Successfully installed the app in Windows 10, OMG the app is so nice, nice to work with !! Keep up the good work, looking forward to receive my remote (in february, still so long) Hey thanks so much for the feedback. We are constantly improving it. What was the issue that you had and it wouldn't run? We have a bit of work to do on windows with an installer and a proper certificate. Don't worry, should be faster than February.

taeb Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 Installed the preview an macOS: looks very nice. Little issue: Cmd-Q does not yet work. Wanted to add my amplifier Cambridge Audio EDGE A. It is not yet on the FLIRC List. I suppose, that without device it's not possible to go on adding activities. Correct? Here you can find the specifications for the EDGE A remote: https://techsupport.cambridgeaudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000250237-EDGE-A-IR-Codes https://techsupport.cambridgeaudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000271837-EDGE-A-RS232-Codes Thank you for adding the device in your list.

Flieger37 Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 Thank you very much for your short video on how to configure the power button ... by mistake/misunderstanding I tried to move my actions on the activity-buttons A,B and C (not on the power button), because I didn't understand that the power button can hold actions that are different/specific für the activity buttons. What does this mean in real live: will you have to press the activity button first and then the power button, to tell the SKIP, which power-on sequence it has to start? Or will just pressing the activity-button A start the power-on-sequence that I have moved to the power-button for activity A? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Skip, the activity button really does just change what the remote buttons do, it doesn't send any signals itself. This should allow for slightly more flexibility in how you use the remote, basically making it possible to flip between activities without being forced to shut down anything or run long macros in between.

Ric Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) I have tried installing this version of the Skipapp several times on Windows 10 Pro with a reboot each time. The icon shows on the desktop but the app doesn’t seem to be installed. The app doesn’t show on the start menu and there isn’t a folder for it in the Program Files folder. The icon on the desktop attempts to open this: "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\1ee3f564-2cd0-4ef3-af35-da985b1d7f00_0.9.0.5182_x64__vg5akken3mtem\SkipApp.exe" I don’t have a file in my Program Files folder called Windows Apps.

I'm had the same problems on Windows 10 and at first it seemed to be a permissions problem. To start with the WindowsApps folder is there, it's just hidden, but trying to start the app I got This error: I tried to give my user account full control on the Skip folder in WindowsApps and inherit permissions down, but this didn't work and after having restarted/uninstalled/installed several times I now get the following errors when trying to install the app: The app seems to install though, but when I try to launch it I get the same errors. Strangely enough I can run the .msix which informs me that a newer version is installed and asks me if I want to run that. This successfully launches the app but then I have the same problem as before: hovering over an activity or other specific areas causes the app to crash.
