MCE Learned - Protocol ** none **

[Jim-W]

I have a learned command from a Harmony, "Media Center PC SE" which has keyboard commands, this command is Ctrl + Esc.
I need to turn this command into an upgrade but Protocol is ** none **. I'm lost.

Here is the RMIR file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

We covered the MCE protocol a few months ago here.

We built an upgrade for it here, which includes both the ESCAPE and CNTL buttons, and instructions on how to combine them.

The RM file is here (I just added CNTL+Escape):

I appreciate the help but that is slow and erratic (I'm using a macro). I resorted to a Flirc which works perfect.

Thanks!

And FYI, the file I uploaded with the learn also works good but doesn't do me much good as is.

Thanks

What is your processor speed?

We didn’t have an original learn, only a logitech learn.

The MCE file that we worked on was tested on a 6gen icore 7 processor. We had to tweak it quite a bit while we were working on it was eratic. We found the cause to be the leadot time was too short. This would cause the buffer would overflow and the computer would stop responding until you let the computer catch up. My guess is that the leadout time needs to be longer still.

It's a 6th Gen Core i7-6700 3.4 GHz w/ 16GB memory, Samsung SSD and four 6TB storage drives.

I did several learns from the Harmony remote and some didn't work so good, the learn in my upload worked the best.

Side note:
If a remote (RCA or Insignia) has the v3.03 extender the MCE protocol has delays so I use the Diamond RC118 receiver and upgrade but for this I added an RC-6 receiver.

Also the Advanced MCE Remote Mapper Tool was slow and erratic even with aftermarket RC-6 remotes.

Is this by any chance a Nuc?

No, it's a Gigabyte Z170 mATX motherboard.

My guess is the "Advanced MCE Remote Mapper Tool " takes longer to process the buffer than the native translation of the NUC that we tested on, thus getting you into that buffer overflow state. If this were me, I'd change the lead out time to be longer.....Its a piece of cake, compared to all the shenanigans we went through to get this working in the first place.

Thanks Vicky but I've got a FLIRC doing just what I need it to do.
