So it’s a combination of Kodi having too short a repeat delay and the remote repeating the IR code for too long with a short button press.įor those using a Harmony remote you could try reducing the setting I’ve shown in the screenshot to zero for the “device” that your Flirc is configured as, this should solve the problem.

If the remote continues to repeat the IR code for longer than the Kodi repeat delay you will get a duplicate press no matter how briefly you press the button on the remote. The repeat delay in Kodi is now 400mS - we’re not sure what it was before, it may have been controlled by settings in Linux itself, however I’m pretty sure it was more than 400mS. I find with most devices (including my Xbox One) that the default repeats for too long, so long ago I reduced the repeat setting to zero as shown in the screenshots. This can be adjusted on the following screens for the device that you have assigned to the Flirc profile:įrom memory the default is either 2 or 3. Harmony remotes by default continue to repeat the IR code for quite a long time after you release the button. It’s not related to inter-key delay in the flirc - that has nothing to do with it.

Then you can plug it into your pi and it will treat it like a keyboard (which is basically what LIRC does) In theory, the FLIRC *should* be able to work with any remote out there, but I've heard it had some problems with windows media center remotes.I’ve had a look at this with my Flirc and Harmony One remote and I’m not seeing an issue, however I know what it probably is. Repeat for all the other buttons you want and save. On the screen it shows you a graphical representation of a remote, so you click on 'play' then hit 'play' on your remote. I talked with the FLIRC guys a bit before I realized I had a solution already, but the way it works is you take the FLIRC, plug it into another computer (you can't program it straight from the pi yet) and configure it on that computer. I'm just looking for an easy way to use my logitech harmony one with the Raspberry PI / XBMC.

I'm just thinking, this Flirc device should work with a Logitech Harmony remote, as it can learn commands from the remote, is that correct? Is this also working with other (cheap) usb infrared receivers.Īnd how easy is this to use and to setup? Can i just use the Flirc with a default out of the box distro for Raspberry PI, or do i need to compile this?

I started with the Play/Pause button because this seemed like an easy one to testĥ) Your remote should indicate that it learned the keyħ) Point the remote at the Keyboard's USB IR receiver attached to Pi and hit the Play/Pause button you just programmedĨ) If everything worked, your video should pause and resume play whenever you hit the buttonĩ) If it didn't work try again and make sure you're the right distance from the keyboard's IR transceiver and you're capturing the IR signal from the keyboard with your remoteġ0) If it did work, here's the rest of the key's I programmed in

Every remote has it's own specific instructions, but here's the general process I did.ġ) Get a video playing in xbmc (to test if the remote works)Ģ) Get your universal remote into 'learning mode'ģ) With the remote facing the IR transceiver of the keyboard (and only a few inches away, check your remote's manual for specific distances), press the button on the remote that you want to program. It's worth the shot! The long and short is that you program the keys of the remote just like you were learning them from another remote, except you use the keyboard instead.

We had a deal, I eat healthy you help me think the smart thoughts! One quick key learning run later and sure enough, my remote learned the IR signals my keyboard was putting out and I can use the one receiver to now control my Pi with my universal remote control (and since it has a JP1 connection, I can actually take that learned signals and make a custom key map off of it). It works by taking the IR signal and rather than trying to do a special configuration for each and every remote, it simply translates it straight to keyboard shortcuts such that you're practically guaranteed compatibility with your programs (after all, all the program sees is a keypress).Īnyways, I realized today that I've been using an wireless IR keyboard with my Pi this whole time.

It's a little IR receiver that you program to use your remote with XBMC or other PC applications based off LIRC. So I've been waiting since the beginning of May to get my FLIRC.
