JP1 Remotes

Well, even if the tape is black in the visible light, it may still pass (maybe partially) IR light.

Try doing what Rob suggested with the phone's camera to check if it's the tape that is transparent to IR or if there's a leak around the tape.
I think that maybe some kind of a paper based tape would ...

If you don't use extender for the remote, then you can always download a clean settings.bin file directly from the simpleset.com. That way you can be sure that you'll get the latest official firmware version for the remote.
If you go to the simpleset.com, there's a Restore Remote link below the ...

Please remember, that settings.bin file doesn't just contain user settings. It also contains a large part of the firmware itself. It's used by the simpleset.com site to also upgrade the firmware (the site can generate a file containing newest firmware). This is also why installing the extender is so ...

I have a different issue with my C3. It's slightly annoying. When the backlight and display turn off, the remote's speaker generates a constant hiss. It goes away the moment the backlight turns on. I've tried disabling RF, Tilt, etc. I have touch sounds turned off, but I've also tried with them ...

Vicky, this is not what rattles :). It's the tilt sensor. It uses a metal tube with small metal ball inside. When you move the remote, the ball bounces around inside the tube and shorts the electrodes inside.

They are really hard to open. You'll probably break multiple latches on the sides and you may break the case itself.

I've had one Nevo C2 which dropped on the floor and the case broke in two where the battery compartment starts, which caused the remote to loose the rigidity around the numeric ...

Chuliu, BLED112 is required right now. This is not a standard BT adapter. It can't be used like other adapters (it's not recognised as BT adapter in Windows for example).

URC-7980 uses BT4.0 low energy profile. There's no API available yet in any of desktop systems, which would allow use of it from ...

I agree with Barf. Even if someone here wanted to take a shot at this and buy the part for $50, without the TV itself it would probably be really hard to even start. Even is someone has a Sony TV, there's a risk that this is only supported by specific models.

Even with a correct TV, to capture the ...

Try taking out the batteries and then plug the USB cable without them.

Make sure that the name of the file is settings.bin and when you upload it to the remote, you're asked if you want to overwrite the file. You can also try deleting the original settings.bin from the remote before the upload.

I ...

It works with both Java 9 and 10 since my changes in 2.06 build 8. I've just downloaded the latest build 9 (from RMIR thread) and I have no problem running it on Java 10.0.2 on my Arch Linux:
% java -version
java version "10.0.2" 2018-07-17
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 18.3 (build 10.0.2+13 ...

That doesn't change the fact that a cause of the issue in your case is bad java installation. The error comes from the java itself, not from the rmir code not being compatible with something.

I'd suggest uninstalling whatever java package you have installed and install either openjdk-8-jre or ...

To me it just looks like a broken Java installation. Maybe some bug specific to Xubuntu 18.04.

Line 5202 in RemoteMaster class calls Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit(). This causes an exception.

A quick Google search gave me this link:

As with any technology, Discord has its advantages but it also has disadvantages. Everything depends on the specific usage.

I'm not against the idea, but here are some disadvantages I see:

Instant replies require somebody with the knowledge to be there (not counting the bots, as these won't be ...

So my first thought was correct and this is a demodulated signal. Can you post a picture of the waveform?

If it is demodulated then you "just" need to modulate it again :). There are probably multiple ways to do this. For example using a 555 timer or a microcontroller running some code.

Ok, I've now went through all 255 OBCs with dev=134 (Xiaomi protocol).

I've run dmesg in a loop on the terminal. When the OBC is not recognised, an entry like this shows up in the dmesg:
[75925.744160@1] meson-remote c8100580.rc: scancode 242 undefined

(the scancode is equal to the OBC)
