Hmmm this get interesting....
I have tried with 4 remotes....The Flirc GUI reports all button presses (A-Z and 1-0) as successfully mapped.... and I have adjusted the script for each trial.
However, #1 remote will activate Play Pause and Shutdown and ignores all other buttons
#2 remote will activate Shutdown and ignores all other buttons
#3 remote will activate Play and ignores all other buttons
#4 remote will activate nothing.
There is obviously something odd with the V1 Flirc and perhaps it only works with a limited number of remotes or I/R codes....
Not sure what to try next.....
Any suggestions (including "what the heck ! massive breakage may occour trying this " short of total destruction of Pi.....no, including possibility of total destruction of Pi...
why not...?!
I once slaved for a small backyard electronics manufacturer.... At the end of the first week all my assembled devices were tested by the owner...(discrete component days) and any simple errors were thrown back at head height for fixing.
When the simple fixes...poor soldering, reversed components, etc were eliminated he then measured and tested and repaired the difficult ones... finally there were 2 left (motion detector and radar speed detector IIRC)
He spent some time testing, hrummphing and the odd rude sailor word before declaring that he would have to use the big test rig to debug those two...
He disappeared to the far back of the building with them, my co-workers looked at me and said "Wait for it.."
What sounded like two almighty explosions and the boss returned with the now unrecognisable boards, a broad smile, and a sledgehammer.
