“The Flirc wasn't a simple plugin and go. I had to fiddle using Windows XP as there was no support for my preferred Archlinux system, and Windows 8 laptop didn't work and forum indicated I had to use cmd.exe to change signing settings and download a big file!! Eventually I updated XP drivers from the flirc device itself - they could put that somewhere in the FAQ.”
“... there shuold be a more easily accessible tutorial about firmware upgrade and configuration options. It's shipped with an ancient fw and caused me a lot of headache until I figured out I could update it. :(”
“FLIRC is a wonderful concept; and I am sure it will prove very useful.
BUT ... it failed to recognise the Apple Keyboard !!
On first start-up; a "wizard" asked me to press the key immediately to the right of the left hand Shift Key. ... it then declared that the Apple keyboard layout was unrecognised.
Interestingly; having once failed to identify the keyboard, the "wizard" no longer appears.
... FLIRC only offers me a Windows Keyboard layout.
This is a very disappointing start to what should have been a delightful relationship.
PLEASE: Let's have an upgrade, to bring full functionality to the Mac.
... Then it will certainly merit Five Stars.
