Not sure how to get started with Kodi, FLIRC, Harmony 900 and Windows 11



Hi folks,

I’m posting this in the KODI Windows forum because I’m using KODI on Windows.   If this should be in a different forum, my apologies.  Feel free to move it (but please let me know where).

Besides Kodi and Windows, I also use a Harmony One or Harmony 900 to control many of my devices.  If that wasn’t enough, now I want to throw the FLIRC Gen2 IR Receiver in the mix.

In short, I seem to be a bit lost with the whole how-do-I-do-that thing.

Now from what I have seen over at FLIRC, they say:

1)  Just plug it in to Windows and it works.  (see https://flirc.gitbooks.io/flirc-instruct…ation.html )

2) Then, they say:  just set it up in Harmony software (I use the old v7), and it works ( see https://flirc.gitbooks.io/flirc-instruct…-xbmc.html )

So, it’s in a front facing USB port, with the FLIRC added into a KODI configured activity in Harmony software, and…… nothing.   Sad

I had been using the HP IR Media Center receiver, and it was working fine, but to make that work in Harmony I had to map many keys to the expected results.

But what I see over at FLIRC, it doesn’t say anything about mapping keys…  or enabling anything within Kodi (add-on, etc) to make it work.

Please, throw a guy a bone here…  what am I missing?     Huh
