![]() My setup is as follows: Harmony One Remote Acer. Apologies in advance for all the questions. I have set up my harmony one to have an activity. Hi, Got my Flirc Yesterday Really pleased with the speedy delivery Have been reading but still little unclear so hoping someone can point me in the right directions to get my remote working efficiency. The point isn't that Media Center is slow to respond, it's the slowness of the Harmony remote in actually sending the command (as indicated by the delayed illumination of the LED at the top of the remote after repeated button presses). on my remote it gets registered by flirc, but instead of one press its like it is looped (button hold down). You said "And the device will respond after the first repeat anyway" - but that misses the point. Try adjusting JUST your repeat value and you will see the difference. With repeats set to 2 or 3, scrolling continues for a not-insubstantial period of time after the key is released, and the LED at the top of the Harmony remote makes it clear that it is still blasting signals after the key is released. With the repeats set to 0 and the interkey delay turned down as far as possible, guide scrolling works as expected (smooth scrolling and the scrolling stops when you release the key). You will notice it most when you press and hold the up or down arrow keys when scrolling the guide. Harmonys awesome remote controls come with one big limitation: how many devices they can command. With respect to Media Center, using the Microsoft IR receiver, changing the repeats helps considerably. To live with Harmony slowness, you have to change YOUR behavior, i.e., guide surfing rather than channel surfing, number plus skip (or sequences) versus multiple presses of skip, you get the idea. But even the lowest setting can't overcome the normal slowness of a Harmony. Click a button on the on-screen keyboard, then click the remote button you wish to pair. Click on File > Advanced and set the inter-key delay to '0'. Refer to Plex Keyboard Shortcuts to assign proper functions to your simple Harmony remote. Interkey delay is the main thing you need to change. In the Flirc software, select Controllers > Full Keyboard. It may appear that things speed up with the correct number of repeats since things generally just work smoother and more reliably. It's not really helpful for speeding things up. Changing repeats is needed only when a device is missing or doubling commands. And the device will respond after the first repeat anyway. The duration of 2 or 3 repeats is only a few milliseconds. ![]() Most devices expect at least 2 to get a complete signal. After receiving a signal, some devices enter in an analyzing and treating delay, and don't accept furthermore signal during this lapse of time." I think there is a delay added between 2 signals to different devices.Īll these can make a sequence very long, according to the various devices involved.īy experience, you can often reduce the inter key delay to 0ms, which decreases drastically the overall delay of a sequence.Mdavej wrote:Changing repeats is not a panacea. delay between devices: don't know where to configure this one, but Logitech is describing it as: "each IR signal is received and treated by each device, and ignored if not relevant to the device. input readyness: after changing the input canal of the device, time before send the next signal, usually 500ms ![]() power-on readyness: after power-on signal, time before send the next signal, usually 1000 to 4000ms ![]() repeat value: corresponds approximately to the "duration of each signal", value between 0 and 3 inter key delay: the minimal time between 2 signals, usually 100ms. Not sure how far you have gone in MyHarmony interface (yes, it's a nightmare probably designed by a maze architect for alien civilizations), you may know it all already, but there are a few parameters which may lead to the situation you are describing. ![]()
