JVC upgrade problem

Post by rr1mand0 »

I'm using RemoteMaster v0.82 and ir.exe v4.01.

All I'm actually trying to do is get the device upgrade code from the JVC file found at
http://f6.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/UHsDQGPcYv ... 20VCR.rmdu
and modify it for a URC8810.

My problem is that after the uploading to the remote the device and efc numbers no longer correspond to the what was specified in the rmdu file. Strange! I verified this by 'learning' the output of the Power button on another remote.
device EFC
RMDU file: JVC 67 059
learned signal: JVC 11 150
JVC{2} 11 150

I've also tried created a simple upgrade code with just the power button EFC but that also didn't work. Also just replaced the batteries

Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong.

Thanks in advance

It is an error in Protocols.ini

I'm not sure whether a line got lost from there, or whether the FixedData line used to be optional and now isn't, or whether the JVC entry simply never worked.

Anyway, a FixedData line is required now. You can add it yourself, editing protocols.ini with a text editor, such as NotePad. (At some point Greg or I will post a corrected version, but editing it yourself is faster). Below I am pasting the line that needs to be added, together with the section of protocols.ini (already present) which directly preceeds the line that needs to be added:

[JVC]
PID=00 34
CmdParms=OBC=0
CmdTranslator=Translator(lsb,comp)
Notes=
DevParms=Device=0
DeviceTranslator=Translator(lsb,comp)
FixedData=00

I've committed the change in SourceForge. It will be included in the next release of RM.
