JP1 Remotes

OK. Fixed by using IR v8, and uploading a new image (ie based on just the RDF file).

Just used IRv7 for the first time to upload to a new remote (URC 7781), and the remote has now crashed. The power button (& backlight for all keys) is blinking repeatedly.

I am unable to do a 'Magic 980' reset (pressing the magic key for 3 seconds has no effect). I have also tried removing the ...

Have been digging around and it seems this is a common performance issues with the 9200T. See discussion here, and the following quote from Humax:

Thanks Rob.

I'm pretty sure the remote is not transmitting multiple CH+ commands - its more that the PVR hasn't interpreted the remote signal properly and has got into a confused state. That is why I'm thinking that a longer duration might give it a clearer signal (& hence also resolve those times ...

Have a faulty power inverter - ie one that produces 240V AC from 12V DC. Its a 1500W model and quite a beast inside (some 8 transformers and 16 MOSFETS).

I can't spot anything visibly faulty. Any thoughts on what I should be testing for? My only thought is to remove and test each of those 16 ...

Let me start by saying that I'm not sure whether this is an issue with JP1 or the receiver box itself; I aquired the PVR for free as someone was junking it as his dog had eaten the remote - I was assured that the unit itself was working fine. But I am unable to test with the original remote.

It is ...

Thanks. In the end I just added an entry 'Shift-Phantom4=$C0' to the RDF file, and IR then displayed it correctly, and it seems to work OK.

On another note, I did have problems when the key-move/macro area became close to full - the set key just made the led come on permanently, for example. Once ...

Started having a look at the XActivate feature of this extender.

Isn't there a need for an X_Reset function?

If you set up the following:

Activate = PowerOn
ReActivate = TV/VCR
DeActivate = Mute
TV = X_TV, X_ACTIVATE
Power = X_TV, PowerOff

The first press of TV will turn the power on (the ...

Sorted. I upgraded my existing configuration with extinstall, and then manually changed all those functions for which keycodes had changed. It didn't take that long.

The s-phantom4 issue remains, but macros/keymoves on/with that key do still work so it does only seem to be a display issue. Still ...

When I start with my remote config (built with the old extender) I don't get the option to use the RDF file that matches the new extender. But after running extinstall the new file does use the new RDF file (confirmed under the raw data tab).

But, in testing the shift-phantom4 issue, I am ...

Upon further invetigation into the shift-Phantom4 issue, I have found:

When I add a macro to shift-Phantom for (or indeed add the key shift-Phantom4 in any other macro) it is displayed as XSHIFT-Key0. I can then add another macro on key XSHIFT-0. ie they are two distinct keys, so perhaps this is ...

Even when I load the example remote configuration that came with the extender, when I try to add a macro on shift-Phantom4 it is assigned to XShift-0. The implication is that the RDF file that came with the extender is at fault, and I can not find any newer RDF file. Checking the 'raw data' tab ...

I'm having problems with this new extender (see seperate post in Extenders forum). When installing an upgrade produced with version 1 extender, I find many of the Device codes muddled up (eg O_PVR where there should be X_PVR). This seems to be because the keycodes have changed between the two ...

Just looking at the list of keycodes that came with the new extender, it does seem that the hex codes have indeed changed for those 'buttons' thanks to the insertion of the new X_ACTIVATE codes.

Is extinstall meant to translate the old keycodes to the new?

Just checked the RDF files section and could not find any 6131 RDF files there. But I did download any 6131 RDF files with the extender and with the new version of IR.

What is odd, is that when I load up the .ir file it only gives me the option of PVR0PVx1 rdf files, and not the PVR0PVx2 file that ...
