It sounds like there may actually be a led on the flirc-se. I'm really happy with how everything is working now and have totally forgiven the flirc dudes! just wanted to post this stuff in case it can help anybody.
I'm planning to migrate to Libreelec later when Kodi 18 is released, but since the flirc is externally configured in my case, I don't forsee any issues during that transition.Īny way. I'm sure there is a solution to this, but that's where I stopped because it's easy enough to shutdown Kodi from its own shutdown menu option (and this prevents me from accidentally shutting down the PC by pressing that button). Once I got the remote power button to power on from "off", I found that the button will no longer shut down Kodi (it used to before I "fixed" it). but for whatever reason, this needs to be on or it won't work - took me a long time to figure this out Why doesn't make any sense because the flirc plugs into the USB 2.0 port and not the USB 3.1 port. Make sure this is disabled - otherwise the motherboard will go all energy star and disable power to the USB ports
FLIRC KODI RIBBON PRO
To Flirc dudes: in the next iteration of the flirc-se please add a small led light or something!Īnyway, each motherboard will be different, but for mine (Asus Z170I Pro Gaming) I found 2 critical options in the UEFI bios (under Advanced mode) that needed to be configured for it to work. Especially so, because you can't tell if the motherboard is powering the USB ports. Also, I liked the idea of being able to power on my system from the S5 state - which if "off" for all practical purposes. I bought the Flirc-SE because my case had a slot for it. In the terminal, "cd Downloads" directory and run: Now press "." and type "Terminal" and launch it. Add "Software restricted by copyright" to add all the repos (probably overkill, but it's easy), the "Close" to update.
FLIRC KODI RIBBON UPDATE
First we need to update the repo listing - hit the "." in the bottom corner (or windows key on your keyboard) and type "software".
It's not going to run, you're missing the prerequisite packages.
FLIRC KODI RIBBON DRIVER
Just start Mozilla (it's on the desktop), go to the flirc site's download area and grab the (probably 64-bit for most people) generic linux driver at the bottom of the page. There is a great set of instructions here.
but the Flirc-SE is installed in my case and I'm not dual-booting so that option is out. If you have a USB flirc you can set it up on a Windows machine first. Also the instructions on the website don't work. Get flirc up and running on my Kodi setup (standard Kodi live) Anyway, that's my rant - now that things are working you guys really have a totally solid product otherwise and I'm really liking it so far. I imagine those who are less technically included who buy this will be extremely frustrated unless they can find someone to help them through the process. Following the Ubuntu instructions didn't work - there is no package to add. To the Flirc dudes: you really need to sort out the instructions. I'm pretty sure I've worn my middle finger out flicking it at the screen! ha ha Once I figured out what to do, the set up process isn't too bad. Flirc is uber cool, but I've found the set up process to be completely confusing and frustrating. Thought I'd share my steps so far in case this can help anyone.
