JP1 Remotes

I think that Portmon isn't an installable program--it's just an executable file. I believe that it does temporarily hook into the IOCTL requests, but the next time you boot your computer, the hooks will be gone. No particular reason to delete the files.

I should have mentioned the batteries 3 days ...

This download proceeded normally for 1189 bytes. We expect a total of 3072. You can see the timeout at line 97, where the remote is asked to send 128 bytes, but it only returns 37. The good news is that the data looks fine up until it stopped reading.

Please do 3 or 4 more sessions, saving ...

3FG,

Bingo!!! Got Portmon to work after I uninstalled the BB virtual ports in Device Manager. That did the trick. Great suggestion!

Here's the file link with the data log ...

Hope this helps. This is kinda like you helping me ...

I checked in the registry editor and for my interface cable all it reads is ...

\device\VCP0 <-- COM7

Device Manager says there are two RIM Virtual Serial Port v2 (COM4 and COM5)

Not sure how comfortable I feel playing with the registry. Sure don't want to mess things up on my PC.

3FG,

Well that almost worked. I downloaded Portmon 3.0.2 and ran it as you suggested. I was able to set Computer>Connect Local and Options>Show Hex as well. But when I went to Capture>Ports, although it wasn't grayed out this time, it would only allow to select Capture>Capture Events and not the ...

If it will run by clicking in Windows Explorer, then it will run from a command prompt. Please double check that the command window prompt is in the same directory as Portmon.exe. Also, what does the command window say when you ask to run Portmon?

Tried that but it won't run under the Command ...

3FG,

I downloaded PortMon and set Options/ShowHex but it wouldn't allow me to select ports in Capture/Ports. PortMon just indicated "PortMon - Not Connected" in the dialog title. I tried running it from the command prompt with all windows closed but Windows wouldn't even bring it up for me to use ...

3FG,

I uninstalled the Excelsior version of RMIR and installed the Java based version ...

I started RMIR, attached the cable to the remote, clicked Download and then selected the Comcast Remote when prompted. The problem I keep having is that the lower portion of RMIR keeps ...

3FG,

I just uploaded the rmaster.err file to the diagnostics area for your review. Here's the link ...

Btw, how do you open it to view the contents? Is it in a specific format or is it a text file?

Thanks!

Since you don't have a cable yet, the possible activities are more limited. However, do File/New/RemoteImage, then select the RCA RCRP05B. On the resulting screen, you can set things like VPT. Or you can go to the macro tab and store macros. Upgrades are done on the device tab, either by ...

3FG,

Ok, so far I've downloaded and installed the following onto my PC per the intsructions ...

- Java version 6.0 or later
- RemoteMaster.v2.02a.exe
- Maps and Images required for RM
- RDF files needed for IR and RM

I couldn't find Setup.vbs in the RemoteMaster directory so I wasn't able to run ...

Yes, either the Comcast or the RCRP05B can send the HDMI signals if you have a JP1.3 flash cable. You would use the NEC 4DEV Yamaha Combo executor, because it can send the necessary variant NEC IR signals. The free RMIR (RemoteMaster) software is used to program the remote.

The most cost effective ...

For the benefit of future readers of this thread, the 5 digit EFCs (ones that don't start with 00) mentioned in the second post of this thread have no chance of working with a Comcast remote. Those EFCs refer to the NEC 4DEV Combo executor, and the Comcast remote doesn't have that executor built in ...
