However, there are "Power On" or "Resume" events in the Harmony Flirc/Kodi profile (Just PowerOff). And interestingly the ability to toggle that in the Flirc Advanced menu remained grayed out (not sure why). When I installed the Flirc GUI on a Windows box to program it, it upgraded the firmware on my Flirc, after which it no longer responded to any generic IR event it saw to wake up the Chromebox. so I'm posting here in hopes that it helps others (the other posts I could find on this are rather old), as well as to see if I just missed something obvious.įirstly, just plugging the Flirc in to my Chromebox running LibreElec, and setting it up as a Flirc/Kodi device in MyHarmony initially worked pretty seamlessly for control functions, however there were two issues: 1) Any IR command would resume the Chromebox if suspended, and 2) the PowerOff functionality brought up the Kodi power menu, wherein you had to navigate to a selection. Although, oddly enough, I've actually use of the exact same buttons on both of my Gyration remotes at the exact same time, but the remote actually reports that it's sending the command.So, I finally got all of this working, but seems like I had to jump through several hoops for what I assume would be somewhat default behavior everyone should want. Honestly, I love my Gyration remotes, which I've been using for years, but they're notorious for just randomly dying. The price makes me shy away from it, but what I want is a remote that is NOT IR and has proper play, pause, stop, previous, next, arrow, OK and back buttons. In what may seem like a bout of pure lunacy, I've actually been looking at the Harmony Elite remote. The Xbox One control works great, but as mentioned, I've had nothing but trouble with Flirc. I'm using it with an Inteset INT-422, which I bought for its Xbox One built-in control capability. However, if the receiver is at the top of the device, it may have a hard time receiving signals. At this point, I have it plugged into a top USB port, so it's clearly visible. maybe the issue is the position of the IR receiver on the Flirc. This would be acceptable, but the problem is that I have to mash the buttons multiple times for them to even work. For example, Play maps to 'P', Stop maps to 'X', etc.
Plex doesn't have a profile built into Flirc like Kodi does, which means you have to first look up the Plex keyboard commands, and then use the keyboard option in Flirc to map the buttons to the keyboard. I use it with Plex, which is probably my first problem.
I decided to try out Flirc, and honestly, I haven't had much luck with it.
