Dreambox DM7000, DM7020 and Slingbox

rvandaalen · Post by **rvandaalen** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 3:19 pm

I see..If I want to create a binary upgrade file for people who use a 7025 remote and slingbox what is the best next step I can make? I understand that with hardware and software I can "read out" my 7025 remote can you plz point me in the right direction for this as I'm more then willing to help out myself and others for whom this could be usefull.

I also found this link but the file was generated with WinLIRC 0.6.5 and if I understand it correctly this is a problem?

http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/dre ... 9930RJ0-03

However the remote model is the same as mine.

Before you buy any hardware, you can try the file posted above. The instructions are in a sticky post in the Slingbox forum.

If your Dreambox remote is a JP1 remote, you can buy a JP1 cable to read it's data. If your Dreambox remote is a JP1.2 remote, you would need to buy a JP1.2 cable.

Which setup code on the URC-39930 are you using to control the DM7025?

Hi Robman..I tried above file and all files in the forum and file section regarding dreambox 7000/7020. Unfortunately none of them seem to work. I'll open my remote tomorrow and order the needed cable and hw from you.
Can you point me in a good direction for the following steps

read out ->needed steps-> working bin file

When you were building your upgrade with protocol 01 6C did you fill in the device fields which are used for the dreambox?
Device 1: 14
Device 2: 15
Device 3: 68
Device 4: 26
which will generate fixed data of 0E 0F 44 1A.

@binky123..thanks for your help/info very much appreciated

Filled in the correct values but still no go. I also opened up my remote. Its very confusing, the pcb displays both URC-39930BJ0-XX and URC-39930RJ0-XX The pcb is very bare with ony 1 chip under a black blob of epoxy. If I read out info from my remote is it 100% certain I can get it to work with slingbox? also do I get all needed info when reading?

What setup code are you using on the Dreambox V4 URC-39930 remote? You can blink back the setup code using SET-990.
Press the device button you want to the setup code for.
Press and hold SET(red LED blinks twice)
Enter 9-9-0
To view code for first digit, press 1 and then count the LED blinks.
press 2,3,4 for second,third,fourth digits. A zero digit will have no blinks.

@binky123..thanks again.. If I try set990 In dream mode I get 1111?? and in TV mode I get 1535. So I think in dream mode I cannot get a code unless it is 1111?. If I than fill in 1535 in all files it still doesn't work. Any tips?

Somone else uploaded a URC-39930 .IR file and that one was using SAT/0031 as the device setup code for the DREAM button and VCR/0111 for the AUX button. TV/1535 is for a Sony TV.

Maybe it is easier to change the Dreambox to accept a different infrared signal set?

Or perhaps your not generating/specifying the correct Slingbox file? I'm not familiar with the slingbox.

Thanks again.. I looked into changing the ir set of the 7025 but this isn't possible. I think with the 7000 it was, but 7025 uses enigma2 so no remote.xml file to play around with.

At this point I want to ask for a final solution with 100% certain outcome on how I can get this to work.

Thx

The wiki on the dreambox says it uses LIRC internally. Maybe you can look around and see what Infrared signal set it is responding too? You can probably get/make a JP1.2 cable to try to download from the remote. I don't know what infrared signal set corresponds to the 1111 setup code.

Another thing to try is to use LIRC on the dreambox to capture the IR signal set used by the URC-39930.

Hey Marcy, I take it that you're monitoring the other thread, so could you respond there as to whether the files that I provided worked for you please.

Other Fixed Data Device Numbers in Hex that I've seen from the .IR are:
0D 1F 44 1A
0C 2F 44 1A
0B 3F 44 1A
so you may want to try those.

Is it possible 016C XMP protocol is slightly different on the Slingbox then on the Dreambox remotes? Someone may have to try to use LIRC on the dreambox to record both infrared signals from the Dreambox remote and from the Slingbox.
