What might be confusing the issue is that the Harmony remote uses it's own setup software that adds an extra bit of confusion to the whole thing. I'm not running any beta software and I've not installed an add-on in XBMC.

The top button (for example) is 'Menu' which I set using the dropdown to Device = Media Center PC and Command = ContextMenu. I edited the new activity I'd just set up (called XBMC) by clicking Customize Buttons. Ok, I've only been using Flirc for about 3 hours so far with my Harmony One.Īfter initial setup I also noticed that some of the buttons on the Harmony remote weren't doing anything, but instead of trying to map them in Flirc I instead added some mappings in 'Activities' (not the 'Devices') tab of the Harmony Remote software.

I have noticed that the buttons on the Harmony do not seem to activate the controls on my XBMC screen, so proceeded to map some buttons manually from the Flirc software to button presses on my Harmony remote – after a while I noticed that not all buttons were able to be mapped as the XBMC grid within the Flirc software (File, Controllers,XBMC) did not have a button for Context Menu, Toggle Fullscreen, Fullscreeen etc. So far I installed the latest software from the Flirc website (v1.2.2) and also added the Media Center PC > Flirc profile on my Harmony remote. Have discovered the Flirc and looking forward to getting it working with my XBMC and Logitech Harmony 1000 remote.
