Unless there's some easier way to do this that I'm completely missing? Is there somewhere I can file some sort of feature request for something like this? Otherwise I'll have to either 1) add an additional device to my Harmony and map a random button from that device (but I'm already maxed out because Logitech insists on arbitrarily limiting me to 5 devices on my 650) or 2) learn a random command from another remote I'm not using, and map that. So, for instance, if I wanted to create a button to launch my Video listings directly: in my Harmony setup I could map one of these custom commands (say, 'Custom1' or something) to my button, then use the Flirc software to map that button to the Ctrl-E keyboard shortcut. Just one note: It would be really great (if it's even possible) if there were some extra 'custom' commands added to the Harmony profile. Has there been discussion of creating a Wiki or something similar to consolidate information like this? Also, is there a page that lists the latest firmware versions (stable, beta, etc) so that I can determine if I'm up-to-date?Īwesome - thanks so much Chris! for the super-fast response! I was able to get everything working very easily using the Harmony profile.

I might be missing something obvious, so apologies if I am, but I did look. I'm new here so I hope I'm not rehashing an old question. So, I suppose the ultimate question is: At this point, which method is preferred for using Flirc with a Harmony Remote and XBMC? And when I use this method, nothing seems to work anyway. However, following the link to the updated firmware that is supposedly needed shows a forum thread marked '(RETIRED)', which would lead me to believe this is no longer needed or supported (I'm not sure which). Is it still the ideal way to go? Then there's the recent blog post about Flirc having it's own harmony profile now ( ), and this is dated much more recenlty - April 1st. There is a pinned post that describes using a Panasonic or Samsung TV profile to control XBMC ( ), but that's dated from way back in 2011. But I can't seem to find any definitive answer on the best method to use. I have a Harmony (650) and I'm setting up Flirc with XBMC.
