Jason - good support for this would make your product a lot more flexible again and I am happy to help with any testing etc required. (My RC6 receivers already do just fine with the remote set to MCE remote mode so I don't really need the flirc to help me with that). I will give the sensitivity settings a try and see if that helps. I don't have (or want) any keyboard attached. by default it in harmony the menu button isnt used. again I remapped this in the harmony software and synced it. It just sits there saying press button to pair. I push C (For context menu to map) press the 'menu' button on the remote and nothing happens. And you can easily then use ALL keys, with modifiers etc.lots of buttons to play with. 2) the 'menu' button on the 650 harmony remote doesnt exist in flirc keyboard. Then you know your remote is sending 'P' for play, for example. Program each letter in the flirc software to be that button on the remote. Harmony Elite Harmony Ultimate Home Harmony Ultimate Harmony Companion Harmony Smart Control Harmony Hub Harmony Smart Keyboard. and pretty soon your run out of available remote buttons.įar easier just to do a direct 1:1 mapping - set your Harmony up as a keyboard, then look at the list of keyboard commands in XBMC. In particular, if you use a Plex/MCE remote mimic in your Harmony, and you want to program the 'extra' harmony buttons at the top of the harmony remotes, which you can have an unlimited number of for doing all sorts of fancy things - you have to map each of these to some MCE remote button first and then program that in remote.xml to do what you want. The major problem with using the other profiles (MCE/Plex etc) is the limit on the number of keys and the hassle of not having easy to understand 1:1 mapping. This looks to be the same problem as above, but can be circumvented. You shouldn't have to touch your xml file. Hopefully someone has a better answer, as I had great hope for this product. However, I still have an issue with having to press every key on the remote twice to get the flirc and xbmc to do anything. I was able to get my harmony working by using the IR learn command and programming the remote from my original Microsoft MCE Remote and then using that to teach flirc my settings. I looked at the Plex Player in the Harmony settings put it is limited to the amount of keys to program and then I would have to edit the keymap.xml file in XBMC which I was hoping to avoid by purchasing the flirc. I skipped those and moved on the the numerical characters (1-9) and ran into a conflict after getting to the number "4". I purchased with the same intentions and got the same results, I started with programming the Flirc with my Harmony setup as a MCE Keyboard and ran into conflicts within the first four directional keys. I always recommend those as I've always been sure they don't do anything out of the norm like Microsoft. Most people assume to use media center remote profiles like plex, boxee, apple tv, etc. I can't do this on the fly as it's a limitation of my algorithm.Īnother circumvention would be to use a different remote profile. With each sensitivity, you need to re-learn your keys. The flirc command line has an option called sensitivity. Flirc can work with it, but it's not the best as I had to play a lot of tricks. This remote profile is a microsoft protocol that uses a non-standard frequency. It would seem the flirc needs to have finer grained distinction between the signals - Jason - any help? I have tried just the 'minimalist' profile to record the arrows and enter - can't even get through that. (Of course I know I can use plex/boxee mode with the Harmony but this defeats the whole purpose of the flirc for me). Meaning I pretty much can't record anything. A by a lot - I mean, basically every button I push. I am getting a lot of 'Button already exists' errors as I try and record my remote. I am also using the full keyboard mode in flirc. I want to do this as I want maximum flexibility to map as many things as possible. I am using a Harmony 650 with the device set to MCE keyboard. Adding keyboard shortcuts like these would make the Android client much more usable with a remote and generally make it more friendly for new users and users transitioning from Windows Media Center.Just got my two flircs and having my first play tonight. If keyboard shortcuts are implemented, then everyone using FLIRC's (myself and it sounds like many others) can just use the FLIRC software to program any arbitrary IR command on their harmony remotes (or any other remote) to send any of the keyboard shortcuts. There are a few others that should be included as well, like Recorded TV/Recordings. This could also be used then in Emby Theater.Īgreed - and it would be nice for these to be consistent with Emby Theater. And with simple i don't mean something like F3 that only one user requested! Something like this: I think beside the native Android keycodes you really should implement some simple pc keyboard keycodes.
