Another interesting question is whether the .exe version will work with Windows 7 (or with 64-bit Windows, I'm not sure which it is that is causing the problem). My suspicion is that it won't, at least not with the combination of 64-bit Windows 7. Anyone out there tried that?

Rob,

You might be able to adjust which of the various installed Java versions is the active or default one using the Java Control Panel, found in the Control Panel (at least on XP).

OK, it's been almost a week since I released Preview 8. It's been downloaded 34 times. The only comments have been from Rob related to a problem with an older version of Java 6 on 64-bit Windows 7.

Does no one else have any feedback?

Looks really good so far. Thanks to you both for all the hard work. I haven't had any problems, so nothing to report yet. I love the hidden (attached) keymove solution you guys came up with.

All I've got to say is Nice Job! :)
Remember to provide feedback to let us know how the problem was solved and share your upgrades.

Tip: When creating an upgrade, always include ALL functions from the oem remote, even if you never plan on assigning them to a button. Complete function lists makes an upgrade more helpful to others.

There appears to be a bug in reading in KM upgrade files which specify NEC 4DEV Combo as the executor. Only the first 3 device/subdevice pairs are read; the 4th is discarded.

I think this is caused in DeviceUpgrade.java, line 2366
Value[] importParms = new Value[ 6 ];

I suppose to read in all 4 device/subdevice pairs, the 6 needs to be replaced by 8. (Currently, the files section contains no upgrade using all 4 pairs.)

Also, the protocols.ini entry for NEC 4DEV Combo has the following line:

ImportCmdTranslator=Translator(0,2,8) NECStyleImporter(1)

It should be
ImportCmdTranslator=Translator(0,1,8,0,-1) NECStyleImporter(1)

This error does affect 5 upgrades in the file section.
KM uses 1 based indices while RM uses 0 based. Note that the similar NEC 2DEV Combo entry is correct.

I have posted for testing, RemoteMaster.jar and protocols.ini files containing 3FG's corrections. They also include his additions for the NEC 4DEV Yamaha protocol, see here for more details.
