JP1 Remotes

Ahh, makes sense. I was thinking the original button was unchanged and the LKP simply affected how the button acted based on the timing of the press. Apparently the LKP REPLACES the original button. Thank you. I really shouldn't be trying this out on only a few hours sleep.

Apparently I'm missing something obvious because I can't get the SKP (Short-Key-Press) part of the LKP to work correctly. I'm trying to make a long press of Mute turn the headphones on my TV. A LKP turns on the wireless headphone option, but the SKP does nothing and I want it to do the original ...

Re: "you'll have lots of time to digest multiplexing before I get back." I think you overestimate the free time I have. I have 5 kids. :lol:

This isn't major, but nowhere in your help file does it mention that you must press TV->Power to load the extender. I realize this is probably a no-brainer ...

I actually found it here: https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7389, which I obviously should have read completely before asking.

Perhaps next week I'll have more time to look into the multiplexing.

I have downloaded the beta extender and hope to give it a try this weekend. It appears the parts I'll use have been tested already, but the multiplexing is over my head right now.

How do I combine all the keymoves and macros I currently have in my ir file with the default macros, devices and ...

Thanks Bill and Vicky. Way out of my league then. I am extremely grateful for all those who take the time to write these things and then are gracious enough to share it with the rest of us.

You may want to contact vickyg2003 as she wrote the original extender and was planning on porting it herself. I was thinking of trying to port it also, but it's been a long time since I've written code so I'm not sure I'd be up to it. Let me know if you hear from her, and whether you are going to ...

Thanks again. I have been doing quite a bit of reading so most of it made sense. I hadn't really thought about what DSM stood for, but did realize I would need a Device Specific Macro. I didn't know about shift-cloaking so I thought I was going to have to put a macro on the shift-1 button that sent ...

That is exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks to both of you for your help. Now I just need my jp1 cable to arrive so I can implement it. Does a watched mailbox never deliver? It feels like it.

This is exactly the direction I was thinking. Unforunately I'm very new at this so I'm hoping you can help with the implementation a little more.

Can a macro set the Toadtog bits directly, or does the macro have to "push" a button that sets it (ie the x-shift-1 button)? Also, do macros allow if ...

Just an FYI - Since I'm using over-the-air broadcasts there are no 3-digit channels at this time (ie, 100-1). If there was one of these in the future I could set up the +100 key to input the first 1 and my macro should still work.

Actually the "+100" button works as a dash, but the problem is it is situated 2 buttons below the "9" and the thumb does not reach it naturally in the process of entering numbers. "Enter" is directly under the 9, but I don't want to replace that because it is handy there for hitting after entering ...

I have a Digital Stream dtx-9950 converter box and, unlike my Zenith box, the remote requires a dash between the main channel number and the subchannel number. For instance, on my Zenith if I enter 432 it goes to channel 43-2. The DS tries to go to channel 432, which doesn't exist. I would like to ...
