JP1 Remotes

Hi All,

I just started looking into programming remotes and specifically a One for All (URC-6420). The remote is not recognised with the IR application but It is recognised with the RMIR (Remote master 2.02 Beta with newer files from RMIR_beta15). The signature is 3327, but it seems there's no RDF file for that. The raw download does work.

What can I do now to get the remote working with the software?

Start by doing a Raw download in RMIR, save it, and post the resulting .IR file.

The 3327.ir file can be downloaded as zip at: http://isolute.nl/URC-6420/3327.zip

Ok,
That looks like a JP1.4 remote. The next step is to determine the scan numbers that are associated with each button.
Do that by recording macros-probably 10 buttons per macro--keeping track of the buttons the macro are assigned to, and of each button label in the macro. Make sure that every button on the remote is included somewhere in the macros.

Then do another Raw Download, and post (use the diagnosis area here rather than a separate file server) the .ir file and the list of the button in each macro.

Even better than a Raw Download is to use JP2 Sniffer, and click Download From E2, and Write Segs to File, and post the resulting file instead of the .ir file. Either way will work, but JP2Sniffer organizes the download better for this particular purpose.

I copied the file to our file section, just in case the original gets lost.

@3FG Thanks for the help, but i don't think it's possible to record macro's on this remote. It's just a simple remote. See http://www.oneforall.com/en_UK/product/ ... ust-2-in-1. I can only configure it by supplying a code for tv and stb or by learning it from another remote.

I started playing a little bit with doing a 981 reset and to learn keys. If I assign for example 0-9 keys to the same ir code, i see only 1 byte difference per line so that may be the scancode? I uploaded the corresponding seg file: https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... e_id=10938. The first 4 segments are the default segments after a 981 reset. From segment 5 on it's the leared keys in the order 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0

The scancodes are probably like this:

Key ScanCode

TV 01
STB 11
1 02
2 0A
3 12
4 03
5 0B

I've put a candidate RDF file into the Diagnosis Area. It is probably wrong in some respects, and is missing both a map and image file.

Durkie, you've implied that the remote doesn't know about keymoves or macros. This RDF file tells RMIR that the remote can do those; please try an upload of keymoves/macros to see if the remote is able to handle them.

If not, then we'll edit the RDF.

If you can get a good color picture of the remote, similar to the ones seen in the images folder, that will help round this out.

The RDF doesn't seem to work. When I select download from remote it keeps downloading till I quit the program.

Some additional info: The remote blinks after the time needed to do a raw download.

In every session, RMIR write a file called rmaster.err. On an XP computer this is put in the same directory as the .jar file, but I don't know where it is written with a Win7 computer.
Please start RMIR, do a download, and copy rmaster.err as it exists without doing anything else to RMIR. Post the rmaster.err file.

But before doing all of that, try editing the RDF file to make the line instead. If that doesn't work, try

I already tried to add the extra 0 but that doesn't matter. Also changing the size does not work. The last lines in the logfile after reading and quiting the program are:

Interface opened successfully
Base address = $EC80
Interface type = 1
Searching for RDF
Final signature sought = 332706
Remote identified as: URC-6420
Number of bytes read = $F80
Ending normal download

RemoteMaster.windowClosing() entered

Well, that seems to imply no error. Are you running RemoteMaster v2.02 Beta 1.5r? (Help\About).

You may also want to try just clicking on tabs even though the message is still scrolling.

Yes, I'm running 2.02 Beta 1.5r. I only have 2 tabs: General and Raw. When I switch to Raw after download, it switches to that tab. When I go back to the General tab, it seems to switch back but the raw data is stil shown. Putting the program to the background and back shows the general tab again, but it's empty.

I've made a couple of changes to the RDF that may help. Otherwise I think we need help from mathdon.

This RDF does indeed work somewhat better. The problems are:

-Pressing the downlload button for the first time, an exception occures:
NullPointrException at Hashtable.put(Unknown source) at Remote.ParseDeviceTypeAlias(Remote.java:1921)
After Pressing OK, the download seems to succeed.
-New Keymove: Device and Keys dropdowns are empty
-New Macro: Keys dropdown is empty.
-New Device: does nothing
-Learned signals: Device button column is always empty. The key column is not and shows button2, buttonA etc where 2 and A are the scan codes of the button.

Extra info: When I add an empty line before [DeviceButtons] the exception is gone, but it keeps saying downloading again like before
