That was what I tried first, without success. I posted several supprt requests on the FLIRC site without receiving a response. Have you had any success witrh the FLIRC MCE profile? |

Yes, but it was several years ago. I don't remember the exact details, but I didn't have to do anything special. Perhaps the application you're controlling simply doesn't recognize those commands. |

The application I'm controlling (MediaPortal) has responded perfectly to various RC6 remotes (and universal remotes programmed to act as such) for over 15 years. I got the idea to use FLIRC as a keyboard from a fellow MediaPortal (MP) user. I can control MP just fine with ordinary keystrokes, but I was interested in extending the keyboard DU just for the sake of completeness and as a service to the community. Also, the Windows system on which I run MP has developed a nasty habit of starting up muted, which currently compel me to get out a real Windows RF keyboard to fix. However, I now have a strategy for adding the Windows media keys (see earlier post above). I just haven't had time to try it out yet. Also, It will only help those using a FLIRC IR receiver, instead of being the full replacement of a Windows keyboard I was aiming for. |
