JP1 Remotes

I hope this is a dumb question, but I downloaded and updated RemoteMaster (v3.0.3) on a Linux system and now the executable runs RMDU (?). I no longer have the option to run RemoteMaster (which is still displayed in the Start menu) or RMIR (which is gone, altogether).

How do I get those apps to work in v3.0.3, or do I just need to go back to a 2.X variant?

Did you add -ir at the end of the executed line?

I did not. The menu item changed to "-rm". The other menu item was deleted. Changing the command to "-ir" solved the issue. I can re-add the other menu items.

Thanks for the help ...

Did you run setup.vbs? One of the many tasks this script does is to create shortcuts to RM, RMIR and RMPB. The RM shortcut will be called RMDU, but you can rename it back, if you like.

I did (or do) not know if a vbs script would run reliably in a Linux environment. Previous installations of the .sh script created three shortcuts. I just thought this was a change/upgrade with v 3.x ...

No, in a Linux environment it's sh setup.sh. I always put the shortcuts on a QuickLaunch (in KDE, exists under other names with other desktops) on the panel.

That's how I installed it. It's been a while since I've updated, but I don't recall having to manually install the other shortcuts, or that the installation would default to RMDU.

I was just pointing out that the setup.sh script deleted my existing shortcuts, and only installed the one for RMDU ...

There is no change to setup.sh with RMIR v3.03. I have installed and run it in my Ubuntu 20.04 system without a problem. The setup.sh script should display a series of messages while it is running. Can you tell us what messages you get? Is it possible you also have an old version of setup.sh on your system and are running that by mistake?

Okay ... the script did in fact install three menu links (in my Ubuntu 20.04 system) but they are under the 'Sound & Video' menu group.

RMDU, RMIR, and RMPB. Each works as expected ...
