why hasn't anyone mentioned flirc?

Does anyone here have some settings I could use as an example/template?

I'm curious as to what everyone's been configuring as their device to be used with the flirc in the Harmony setup application. I've tried various Media Center devices and haven't gotten it to work yet.

Also using the flirc setup application, when trying to map a button, I'll get a message indicating the button has already been mapped to something. This occurs even after I clear my configuration. Any ideas?

Thanks all.
I'd say Plex Player.

The small flat rate box is the best option I found. I can stick as many flircs as I can fit in the box and it remains ~13.95. Where other shipping methods cost will be dependent on the weight. But what always drives international pricing shipping cost is customs.

I'm humbly surprised by the amount of interest outside the United States. About 2/3 of all the orders have been outside the US, I would have thought this would have been the other way around.

Again, I hear you loud and clear, and I'll keep looking for other options.

Thanks everyone.

In the US, you can probably ship First Class for around $2.00. They include tracking if you use Paypal for shipping.

Same thing for International. You can ship first class if it's under 13 ounces at around $1/ounce. Since Priority Mail Flat Rate doesn't include tracking, it's the same as First Class but much cheaper. The delivery time is around the same for both method.

PS: If you use Paypal's for shipping in the US. The rate is a bit cheaper than going to the Post Office.

I am also having an issue with the Transfer error. But what gets me is the delay in which I push a buttons to the time it works. It's like I have to push a button twice in order for it to work. I have tried 3 different remotes and its the same with all of them.

In any case I'll email you Jason about the firmware update.

Which remotes have you been trying that don't work? I always recommend Samsung, or UN55D5000. Send me an email and I'll make sure I get you up and running.

Really so sorry you haven't gotten yours yet. I've been looking forward to hearing how it goes, I'm sure we can use another form of shipping other than USPS to help speed this up when you do more.

Activity on this seems to have died. So how is everyone who's gotten this enjoying the experience? I have two on order and am awaiting shipment.

Jason - any update on when the new batch will be shipping out?

I happened to stumble across this thread (and the Flirc in general) today, and I'm definitely interested to hear how it's working for everyone and if there's an update on shipping time for the new batch. I've got a Harmony 880 that I'd like to use to control XBMC running on Win 7 Ultimate x64 (or Ubuntu x64), so I'm also particularly interested in hearing whether the issues with the NEC protocol used by the 880 are resolved. Just about ready to place my order Smile

I've got a Harmony 880 and FLIRC is working great! I'm running Ubuntu and it's so nice to not have to mess around with LIRC and have something that just works. I don't know if the issues are resolved with the NEC protocol as I just went ahead and setup my device as a Samsung TV in the Harmony config. It works fine that way for now.

There are some issues 64bit Windows and driver signing - Mac, Linux work well - also remotes that output a 56KHz IR signal (Dish, Bell, Sky) have problems. NEC protocol remotes (ie. AppleTV) have all been fine on my end - RC6 (MCE) I haven't tried with the 0.8 firmware yet though.

I would love to get this for my remote. But how will it work? It's my DISH remote.

http://www.amazon.com/Dish-Network-Learn...B0022DKLSE

SAT - TV - DVD - AUX will I be able to program it? I did program the AUX for my receiver.

I guess I can use DVD for it....! this is sweet.

I'm ordering and see how it goes! Ordered! Thanx.... Order# 1215
