JP1 Remotes

[kenyarnall]

I occasionally try using RM, though I haven't ever been serious about it. I'm using a linux machine as my JP1 host, so eventually I'd like to move to rm (ir works fine via wine, but of course km is out).

Anyway, I've had a problem the last couple of times I've used RM, which I think is related simply to file names. When I try to load my remote (URC 9960), I get an error dialog, an rmaster.err reports:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/share/rm/images/urc-9960.map (No such file or directory)
at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:106)
at java.io.FileReader.<init>(FileReader.java:55)
at com.hifiremote.jp1.Remote.readMapFile(Remote.java:1095)
at com.hifiremote.jp1.Remote.load(Remote.java:211)
at com.hifiremote.jp1.KeyMapMaster.setRemote(KeyMapMaster.java:528)
at com.hifiremote.jp1.KeyMapMaster.actionPerformed(KeyMapMaster.java:600)


and so on (I think this is enough to find the code --- if you want the complete stack trace, let me know).

I'm guessing this is simply because *nix is case-sensitive wrt filenames, and windows is not --- the file in the images directory is called URC-9960.map.

Cheers,

Hmmm. Followup: I copied the URC-9960.(map|jpg) files to urc-*, and re-ran RM. Now it runs, but I don't get to see a picture of my remote.

Well, RM gets the name of the .map from the .rdf file, and the name of the .jpg file from the .map file.

The 9960 RDF files specify urc-9960.map, which in turn specifies URC-9960.JPG (note the case of the extension) Try editing the .map file and changing the extension to lower case.

Nils, are you watching?

Allow me to suggest that rather than renaming URC-9960.map to urc-9960.map, we edit the URC-9960 RDF to refer to URC-9960.map
