8820 extender shift-phantom3 quirk

Post by jwehle »

When I enter a keymove (or macro) in IR 7.14 for shift-phantom3 it
shows up as xshift-key0 which seems a bit odd. Shift-phantom3
worked / displayed fine in my old 8910 extender configuration.

According to the RDF, due to it's location in memory, you're not supposed to be able to shift phantom3 in the 8820 extender, so you'll have to pick a different key.

This makes me wonder how you're building your new 8820 IR file. You realize you'll have to enter everything manually from scratch in IR or it won't work.

So IR allows me to select shift-phantom3 and then converts it to
something supported by the device? That's a handy feature.

Just to confirm ... is xshift-key0 a valid choice for IR to make?

Seems to all be working fine other then the pause problem
covered in another thread, however I'll look at picking a
different key.
