JP1 Remotes

The 1280 RDF in RM2.08b7 package is still the same file as in RM2.07b2 that I used. I'm happy to hear that my work on this RDF helps other users, too.

I did not try to get DSM or DKP/LKP to work (never used this). I assume it will not work. I only tried to simply assign macros to a device button ...

I think I found another issue with the original 1280s RDF delivered with RemoteMaster v2.07 build 2. I was not able assign functioning codes to the "shifted" Menu and Info buttons. Checking the original RDF I found that [ButtonMaps] section of the RDF file contains the button codes in shifted state ...

@3FG: I hope the consolidated data in the new threat is sufficient to update the RDF file in distribution with a new my one. If not, feel free to ask for additional input/tests.

URC-1280 Contour 8 - RDF file revision and tests

I already put some issues that I found during programming and testing of my URC-1280.

Today I found some additional errors in the URC-1280's RDF file (numeric buttons). Because of this I deleted my formerly revised RDF file from files section and ...

Yes, I deleted it because this RDF was wrong. I'm working on an updated one. It's nearly finished but I have to do some validation tests. Possibly I'll post my results in a new thread, summarizing my tests and changes.

Not only the Volume and Channel buttons, but also (at least) numeric buttons ;-)

Only one hint: I found other errors in the RDF file. I'm working on this. See my other threads.

The device driver on a PC and it's configuration has a big influence!

I know it from network cards. Depending on this, some drivers put the device in a special mode during shutdown, enabling the wake-up capabilities. I know such issues from network cards. Some of them do not wake up using Windows ...

@kevjs1982: It's like a déjà-vu. I now own three URC-1280s. First one I bought for 9€ during a special offer and tried my interface. As it worked I bought two additional ones for backup and test purposes 8-).

I never assigned macros to a device buttons on my former remotes. I did not know that it ...

I uploaded my modified RDF file for URC-1280
It is available at https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... e_id=25503

Mdavej's and my answer overlapped a bit (English is not my native language and it took some time to enter my answer).

I have one question related to mdavej's answer about macros. Does it address really what kevjs1982 asked for. I understood the question was related to "device specific macros". For ...

I was confronted wit the same decision some weeks ago and had similar questions. I was using some URC-7555 for years (same as URC-7556 but silver) and some buttons did not work anymore.

I'm using a home-brew JP1.2 interface board based on Tommy Tyler's 3-transistor design from 2007. Because the URC ...

Yes, these entries I already had in my modified RDF during my last test (programming and testing macros through RMIR using my modified RDF) after discussion with mdavej and 3FG. The result looks good to me.

This solution was also my own intention before opening the thread but I did not have the ...

Second step: Using my modified RDF with swapped entries for Vol+/Vol- and Ch+/Ch- buttons in [ButtonMaps] section "... ($1D, $20, $21), ($1F, $22)" I programmed some macros using RMIR.

I bound Red to VOL+, Green to VOL-, Yellow to CH+, Blue to CH- and the remote is working as expected.

Here is the ...
