JP1 Remotes

OK, then the only explanation is that I made some mistake when I tried the 0,255 version.

I did miss that, where did you post about it?

I didn't post anywhere else, just uploaded the file. I saw no obvious place to post an "announcement". I also uploaded the device upgrade files for my ...

Looking for a different solutions is going to be hard - I would need to install that version and try to find out how to deal with the issues.

How about just checking all mounted systems for a "settings.bin" file? Of course, that would work for this remote, maybe not for others. If that's not a ...

The -J option is not available in this version.

I found out that I could use "Save As" overwriting an existing .bin file, but not creating a new one. Also, the option to "Save As" .bin is only available if I start by opening a .bin file, but not if I open a .rmir file.

Moreover, I could manually set the JPS interface to the settings.bin file on ...

Maybe it tells the remote, and the remote will correctly send 0xFF and 0x00 for the 2nd and 3rd bytes, but one of the devices will ignore anything that does not start with 0x00FF00? This would at least match the observation.

Yeah. I didn't expect a full conversion, but some hints on how to do it myself. The IrScrutinizer clue was good enough, so I could convert the full LIRC code.

If you are curious, the full conversion is here. Is this a known device? How to find out?

Sorry, I should have reported back earlier, but you missed the part where I said:

The original remote is as good as broken, so using it for learning codes is almost hopeless.

The "tricky" part was ...

Yes, it is normal for it not to light until there is some function assigned to the particular button you press when that device is active and not in activity mode. If you were to assign an audio device to EXTRA and set the volume lock to EXTRA in an activity, the button should light when using the ...

Well, I've done some more experiments and I think I've solved it.

The crappy unbranded internet radio didn't respond to codes sent with 0,255 (device,subdevice) combination, but it does to 0,blank. I guess the difference between 20 or 00 in the first byte of the fixed data is important.

The IP ...

So, assuming that you have a working /dev/lirc (both sending and receiving)

I don't. I have only a receiver, no transmitter.

If that still does not work, describe in detail what you want to achieve, and what you are using.

What I want: Configure the URC 6440 to mimic this remotes. And ...

I'm trying to set up my URC-6440 properly and I've encountered a couple of issues.

1. For some reason the "extra" device selection key does not light up like the others when pressing a key or when selecting it to program a code or copy a key. Is this normal? Otherwise it seems to work alright.

I could try in a Kubuntu 16.04 box, and everything works fine there. Sorry for the noise.

I've prepared a test build with this change:

As for saving the files, thank you for the warning, I was actually starting to get confused. In any ...

Which Linux distribution and version are you using?

Kubuntu 14.04

(Quite outdated, I know... I have to update, but need some spare time for that. An upgrade to 16.04 gone wrong in another computer made me stick with this version here.)

Regarding the lsblk command, try running
lsblk -npro ...
