JP1 Remotes

Posted: **Fri Feb 21, 2020 1:02 am**

I'm recently back to JP1 after a several year foray into URC HomeSet/HomePro. It had a lot of nice things but the overhead was problematic...

Anyway RMIR, IRScope, OARUSB04G and ARRX18G are very nice! Things have certainly come a long way since my first Cinema7 and parallel port interfaces!

The problem I'm having is with a Arris MXv4 IR remote which works my IPTV DVR. I couldn't find a upgrade that worked (that doesn't mean one isn't here!) so I made one using IRScope. It works great except I can't figure out the toggle. This results in second presses of buttons not working. So to skip forward more than 30 seconds I have to press SKIP, PLAY, SKIP, PLAY... Not handy. I suppose I could create a macro but there are other places where the lack of a toggle is problematic.

The section below contains 4 presses of the REPLAY button. The first two are from the Arris MXv4 IR remote that have the toggle and the last two are from my upgrade on a OARUSB04G which sends more or less the same thing each time.

Any help on how to make the toggle work in a RMIR upgrade or other method would be greatly appreciated!

Choose protocol Nokia32 Combo, Device 37, Subdevice 0, and "Toggle" in the High x-bit drop-down. Enter 38 or 0 in each X column in the functions tab to match your decodes.

Mdavej, thank you so much for the helpful and quick reply!

I'll have to wait and try it out on the STB tonight but I'm getting a toggle now. AnalysIR is showing the toggle but the code number is not what I expect. OTOH IRScope seems happy!

Getting one's toolbox in order is a tricky thing...

Let me reformulate Dave's post: The toggle ("T") is not really a parameter like the others, you leave it to the sending device/program to generate it, alternating between 0 and 1 without the user have to worry (thereby the name "toggle").

Please try IrScrutinizer instead of IrScope and AnalysIR. IrScope is no more maintained since 10 years or so (and have a bunch of shortcomings), AnalysIR is non-free software which probably uses a slightly different parametrization of the protocol -- as seem to have discovered.
