8910 Need help with custom name protocol

[ElizabethD]

Given three keymoves

Code: Select all

SAT	SHIFT-M3	ModeName	Hex: $45 $4E $31 $37 $20 $32 $30 $31 $37 "EN17 2017" 
db-09	SHIFT-M3	ModeName	Hex: $41 $49 $57 $41 $20 $31 $31 $31 $31 "AIWA 1111"
db-10	SHIFT-M3	ModeName	Hex: $4B $45 $4E $4D $20 $31 $31 $32 $39 "KENM 1129"

when used in device macros such as these (where phantom1 is just a bunch of SET commands)

Code: Select all

SAT		DEV_SAT;Phantom1;SET_TRANS_KEYS;SET_VOL_KEYS;SHIFT-M3
SHIFT-SAT	DEV_DB09;Phantom1;SHIFT-M3;SET_VOL_KEYS;SET_TRANS_KEYS
XSHIFT-SAT	DEV_DB10;Phantom1;SET_VOL_KEYS;SET_TRANS_KEYS;SHIFT-M3

custom name works perfectly on SAT, but the other two always say
SAT
1111 or 1129

No big deal, I know where I am but WHY is it like that?

Edit: thinking it out - does it have to do with dev9 and 10 rolling over to the first 8 devices? but then it should say TV or VCR or something like that ... maybe?

The extender documentation explains that keymoves don't work for the virtual devices. Just one week ago, I was away from home and not realizing this fact redesigned a whole bunch of keymoves for several such devices. When I got back home to test, and it didn't work was when I finally read the documentation.

Same scenario here, except I forgot to read the docs
