Afterwards when I switch to Main panel (Universal Devices), trying to use (tested and working) JVC TV Keyset 1, it is not working what so ever (probably no other does).
Drat. I really need to do some more testing, then... Here's one thing you might try (if you're willing) -- I'm storing persistent data for Pierogi in the standard Qt manner, in a file in your home directory called ".config/pietrzak.org/Pierogi.conf". It may be that that file has been corrupted in some manner; you could, say, move it to "Pierogi.conf.backup" to force Pierogi to start fresh with a new config file, and see if the errors continue. (The config file is almost readable, if you're interested in seeing what Pierogi is trying to store. )

After app restart, I'm getting errors with random letters like "yyyyy^yyyyy*yyyyyyy^" and "Done" button on right side.
Yeah, my error handling mechanism is really bad right now. Yet another piece of Pierogi that needs a lot more work...

Second test, I was able to FFW thru Deutsche Telecom.... but when I was gooing back (fast rewind as well) it stoped at that device (Deutsche ....) and everything happend again (buttons, not working). But this time,i t was allright after first restart.
Let me take another look at Deutsche Telekom; I only added it in a few days ago, might still have bugs...

Honestly, I do have only one, not working at all. The Strong device, when pressing buttons for testing is messing around my Triax reciver, but it's hardly usable.
Oh! Hey! Let me know which of the Strong keysets are working -- both Strong and Triax are using the classic NEC protocols, so if Strong keys are doing something on the Triax machine, that means that both devices are using the same NEC "device number". All I would need to do, I think, is graft the device number Strong is using onto the command list Triax is using, and we might be able to come up with a usable keyset!
