|
|
I am trying to load the Ortev VRC-1100 upgrade to my RCA RCRP05B. There's a note on the page for the file download that says that I need to edit the RDF.
How do I edit that? I opened the file with Remotemaster and all of the fields that show "01ED" are grayed out and can't be edited.
Link to upgrade file:

I did try opening it in notepad. I didn't see "01ED" in there. I did see "01 ED".
So should I replace "01 ED" with "01 ED:uei"? |

I tried changing this line
Protocol=01 ED
to
Protocol=01ED:uei
and then to
Protocol=01 ED:uei
But it didn't work either way. I modified the file, then went to the "devices" tab of RMIR and then pressed the "open" button. I loaded the modified RDMU file, but it never loads the data into the device upgrade editor window. If I use the original line
Protocol=01 ED
then it will load into the upgrade editor window but when I upload to my remote the functions don't work. |

I suspect you are trying to modify the RMDU file. Instead you should modify the RDF file: 31793179 (RCA RCRP05B black).rdf, which will be located in your RDF file folder. If you are using RMIR 2.03 Alpha 28, the RDF folder is a subfolder of the main installation folder. Older instances of RMIR allowed you to put the RDFs anywhere.
Note that this renaming may be a temporary "fix", because the issue actually also affects
11781178 (URC-6820N_8820N_10820N).rdf
201009 (Atlas 1056 B03).rdf
202608 (Charter OCAP C4000 URC-1060BC2).rdf
31473147 (Insignia Remote 67100).rdf
329801 (OARI06G One For All 6+3).rdf
USB8011 (ARRX12G XSight 12).rdf
and the extender RDFs associated with these remotes.
The issue is caused by us-- we used PID 01ED for this OrtekMCE protocol executor, and now UEI has begun using it for a 40KHz NEC1-rnc IR protocol. That leads to a conflict. As a community, we may end up modifying protocols.ini instead. |

Thanks, 3FG! That fixed it. Thanks for being patient on this. One other thing I noticed is that I had to shut down RemoteMaster and restart it before the change to the rdf file took effect. |
