geoffs Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Just received my Flircs and starting to program them. Have some issues: 1 the right arrow key does not do anything 2 Mute button brings up Info or OSD depending on where in XBMC I am 3. Parent Directory button acts as Back, Back button goes to home screen 4. power button does nothing 5 OSD button does nothing. Have reprogrammed the unit twice with the same results Am using the recommended Panasonic TV on a Harmony 525 All the keys work as expected from the keyboard. Is there a reason the Contect menu is not included in the XBMC controller? WHich key is the Flirc using for Mute as it is not listed on the XBMC wiki keyboard list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris! Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 All the keys work as expected from the keyboard. Good to hear. Then I assume, like you, that the XBMC pre-set on FLIRC has a few bugs in it. I'm gonna move this thread to feature suggestions so Jason can track it a bit better. (If you want it moved back to here (general questions) - just let me know) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris! Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Just to reiterate: The XBMC preset in FLIRC GUI should correspond to this list: http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Global_Keyboard (Some of them appear not to - haven't tested this myself yet) and key functions (relatively) fundamental to XBMC that are missing include: Home menu = ESC (I think back and previous directory are both mapped to backspace, perhaps merge those two and create a home menu button) Context menu = C Also I think the "skip track" buttons (second row down at the very right) should be mapped to [ and ] to skip chapters (waiting on results from tis thread though: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffs Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Dont mind the move, pseudo. Have now resorted to using the Full Keyboard controller to get around some of the issues. However there is NO backspace key (somewhat fundamental)? So with the XBMC controller I get "back" but no "context menu" and with the full keyboard I cannot get the "back" function but can program the context menu. It is a little unclear to me what the "parent Directory" button on the XBMC controller is supposed to be - first I assumed it was the Home button, but it acts like the "back" function when in files lists. Is it possible to program some functions with XBMC controller and then switch to the full keyboard and add some others, or visa versa? And then will "Save configuration' save both sets of keys?

Chris! Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 I haven't got a computer in front of me but i think delete on the keyboard preset is actually backspace. Another one to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris! Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 I'll investigate the other issues later as i'm a little busy until thursday. I'll try each of presets and compile issues. Cheers for the push! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffs Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 yep, just tred the Delete and it did act as the backspace. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castalla Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Is it possible to program some functions with XBMC controller and then switch to the full keyboard and add some others, or visa versa? Yes, you can mix'n'match ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 A suggestion for the interface: The Mac version should label the GUI button "Delete" instead of "Backspace" as that's the platform standard. The other platforms GUI apps should use the "Backspace" label for the key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris! Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 hmm. Whilst that is technically true it could cause issues when you program on a mac then plug it in to a non-mac computer. Personally, whilst I am a mac user, I find it a bit silly that it is called delete when it functions as backspace. Alternatively it could have a symbol instead of saying delete or back space which could be a compromise to this discrepancy between platforms. As always it's Jason's choice. Regards Chris!
