JP1 Remotes

(p.s. how can I restore the remotes to their defaults if I ever need to? For example, if I reimage the RTV hard drives? I'm sure there's a "default" RTV IR file in the files section, right?)

There is, but no reason not to back up a copy of remote2 (using IR.exe) before you start tinkering with it ...

...IIRC I must turn off the RTV (just hit the power switch or do a cold-reboot?), then turn it on and press any key on the newly programmed remote while it's aimed at the unit I turned off.. is that accurate?
Nope old news... that was the 2xxx/3xxx Replays. Good guess though. Try it and see what ...

...Do I really need to reprogram both remotes, though?
Yes because native unit address 0 is all units.

...It's more complicated than I need because it allows me to control both ReplayTVs from one remote... I don't need to do that. I guess it's not a big deal unless someone switches the remote to ...

And we have a winner! Loaded it up (haven't systematically tested all buttons yet) but the obvious ones work.

I'll test further and if I run into anything I'll report back.

Thanks (always) for the jp1 coding wizardry! 8)

Somehow I forgot 2 buttons.

(one was pretty important)

Learned them and replaced the zip file. Be sure to re-download that (hopefully) before you get started. If you find any problems let me know.

Here are all of the buttons: http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=file&file_id=3891

Got some strange looking learns (still worked) but I redid them so they (both work and) appear in consistent form.

Thanks again guys for the help, this HD tuner is really a great match for a 4xxx/5xxx ...

Ken,

Would you mind sharing your final working .rid file? I also have the Samsung DTB-H260F and ReplayTV.

And Ken, don't forget to post an IR file with the rest of the buttons. I'll post them. Actually ...

...Just post one of the Pronto Hex strings generated by MakeHex. ...I ran MakeHex alone and get strings but have no correlation for the rid fields needed.
Just at the darkest hour... finally got it!

That was a good hint. I'm pretty sure ridgen must have a bug with subdevices (never had to use ...

I don't know how to read a .rid file.


Open it with ridgen editor.


For which the usage is:
Here is the procedure for going from a JP1 file (for KeymapMaster or RemoteMaster) to a RID file which can be uploaded to your ReplayTV:

1) Download RIDGen, MakeHex, and DecodeIR using the links in my ...

Used the fresh copy of MakeHex and the new IRP. Looks slightly different but still doesn't work.

Learned blast of it is here and I included the .rid file in case someone wants to look at that.

Could be something I'm doing or something ridgen is doing, but it looks like MakeHex is doing all the ...

Definitely.

I'll post the rest of those buttons soon.

But a .irp file from Rob's description above is easy. So if that's what you need, copy paste the text below into an .irp file:

In the MakeHex output, the ...

Thanks for the prompt expertise.

So we may be close to generating a rid file for this Samsung?

Wants something like this: (from .rid for LG STB)
