JP1 Remotes

Tranx, yes that was what I was looking for! Thank you.

Hopefully my final question:

Device STB 1877 SkipBack and SkipFwd seem to be the default short press actions with Rewind and FastFwd the default long press actions. Is it possible to swap the short/long defaults, i.e. make short do Rewind/FastFwd, and long do SkipBack and SkipFwd?

It seems I should use Device button <none>, Key Red, Type LKP(4), Function [Short]:Shift-Red [Long]:Phantom 1

Shift cloaking!

Dave, I agree in principle, but the other users are accustomed to Power toggling all devices. I may have to re-train them all :)

I've been experimenting with LKP in conjunction with macros on phantom keys and the long press part is working but not the short. For example:
Device button <none>, Key ...

Excellent - I must admit I dived in without fully reading the manual, but after encountering the problem I read and found the very useful 'Pause' method of escaping loops. I'll look at using shift cloaking to resolve my Power macro.

Thanks Graham. I've got most of the setup down but have hit a snag. On my old remotes I've used a macro on the Power button to turn devices on and off, e.g.

TV, Power, AUDIO, Power, STB, Power

If I try the same thing on the extended OARUSB04G the remote seems to lock up (I suspect a loop). I can ...

The remotes I've receive seem to be the older "4000" version. Do they have to be updated to the 'new' version using the settings.bin provided in the extender zip before installing the extender?

Thank you both for your replies. My macro timing question was an attempt to solve a problem my wife encounters when using the power on macro on my current setup. It seems to take about 3 seconds to execute and she often moves the remote before the sequence concludes, leaving some devices off.

It ...

I've been out of the loop for a few years but came across One For All OARUSB04G on ebay for $10 so I bought a couple mainly as they appear to come with a USB lead but I have a few questions:

Does this count as a JP1 device or not?
Apart from the OFA website option, what tools can be used with it ...

A very useful link!
Thanks for the quick reply.

I've been inactive here for a couple of years but have bought some new equipment and need to re-program again and I've forgotten how to send EFCs from the 8810 remote. I'm sure there was a way, but I haven't found it in my searches.

I've just used the info posted by underquark with my 8810 remote and a new 'slim' SCPH 79001 PS2, and it works fine. The 'Off' is achieved by a long press of Power.

The specific version I am using is in the Yahoo "mytinker" group's Files section, listed as s3s-2.tar.gz

The URL for Slimserver is:

and you need to have it installed and running in order to use the new image.

If anyone tries it and has problems, post ...

FYI, anyone who has a WMA-11b and wants some firmware that has more functions than the stock Linksys version should check out the mytinker yahoo group.

The version I'm using now supports Internet Radio, and also integrates with the SlimServer software .... if you can cope with JP1 stuff, the ...
