I use mine with a Logitech Harmony One & Kodi on a RASPI 2. Usefully there's already a profile for the Flirc device so setup is easy. However, it turns out the PageUp and PageDown commands actually result in LineUp & LineDown. After checking the FLIRC site+forum it's obvious this is a problem they're not in any hurry to fix. My workaround was to find two commands I wasn't going to need and bind those to the remote buttons using the Logitech config program. Then in Kodi I used the KeyMap Editor addon to change the actions associated with those commands to be PageUp and PageDown. Otherwise, absolutely no complaints.

At first I was not convinced, I plugged into my PC, got the programming software from FLIRC web site. I used a remote from my old ACRyan. My girlfriend could have programmed the remote. Super easy. Tempted to by another one now for my other Pi running Kodi.

Needed two FLIRC USB IR dongles for an AV install I needed to complete by the weekend. Found this site via Google, with a simple online ordering process, goods were in stock at price that ticked the box. I requested standard shipping and the goods came within 48 hours! Perfect. Many Thanks.

This IR receiver works with many OS and is really easy to setup. You just download a program and configure the receiver with it. I bought the receiver to use in conjunction with "XMBC IR Remote Control". Although the setup and configuration is very easy I couldn't configure the same key for differrent actions. This would be necessary for Play/Pause. That's the only reason why I don't give a five star review.

Do the job perfectly (badly, Logitech doesn't provide a fully configured profile for the remote, barely the arrows, volume et select/return keys, you would need to manually configure the left ones).
