manual keymove then read with IR

Post by reybie »

I have installed the extender in my 6131 and I was having some trouble creating keymoves with IR so like some advices from the forum I did the keymove manually through the remote.

I was trying to find out what I was doing wrong with the keymove so I downloaded from the remote to see what kind of code was entered. Keymove tab did not contain what I put in, is that stored on a different eeprom?

Oh and this is what I was trying to do in IR for the keymove.
Controlling JVC receiver volume while DVD device is selected.

BoundDevice=AUD; BoundKey=Vol+; DeviceButton=DVD; DeviceType=VCR/DVD; SetupCode 1632; HexCmd=$00 $F6

The above didn't quite work.

When you do an actual key move (ie, copy a button from one place to another) the "EFC" part of the keymove is actually just the button code of the button where it came from.

When you program a button using advanced codes, the "EFC" portion is now 2-bytes and is simply the EFC in hex format.

Do you perhaps have the devices defined backwards? Shouldn't it be something like:

BoundDevice=DVD; BoundKey=Vol+; DeviceButton=AUD; DeviceType=Audio; SetupCode 1632; HexCmd=$00 $F6

Ergo, you want the DVD/Vol+ key to actually send the 1632/$00 $F6 code.

I'm new and don't have my IR file to reference, but it seems as though I considered the Bound Device/Key to be the one I wanted to change, and the remainder of the devices and codes to refer to the command I actually wanted sent.
