Hold up Kent...I think I've found the issue....It is the Flirc device itself....appears to need more current than usb ports on my Dell can give....odd and may be a faulty/damaged Flirc...(not new item)
I did some reading and saw that in the Flirc configuration app one can check the previously mapped buttons by connecting the Flirc ,opening the keyboard option and when a remote button is pressed a virtual key is lit green.
So whilst the setup phase reported full and correct recording when I came to test only some of the buttons were truly recorded.
Then did the usual swap usb ports and try again....this resulted in more keys, but not most keys, being recorded and retained.
Aha !!....found a powered usb hub and so far recording is working fine.....
Will report back later when I have time to test on the Pi.
Now that I think of it....I.ve had some problems burning images with Etcher to sdcards and thought it was the card-reader...swapped readers and all was fine...but I'm now suspecting a usb power problem ....the old Dell may be failing...
Fixed ! as above....seems as though it is the Dell....with the powered hub all the button configs are recorded and saved..
Moving the Flirc device to the Pi (without a powered hub) and all buttons perform as programmed...
Very happy here !
