sudo reboot ```

  • Advised to run the regular Flirc binary instead of the appimage.

### Having the udev rules set up for the Flirc USB WILL NOT ALLOW THE SKIP 1S Remote Control to be detected by the Skip App! ###

  • In the FLIRC configuration settings, go to File –> Advanced and un-toggle all built-in Profiles aside from Flirc WMC Profile. Do not touch the Controllers part. Then close the App. ### THE USB PORT ALSO MATTERS, OTHERWISE YOU WILL RECEIVE PHANTOM INPUTS - UBUNTU 24.04 ###
