I am getting "Error Downloading from Remote

[jojopuppyfish]

I am new at this.
My remote is a URC-8910B00
I uploaded the raw diagnostic file here:
http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... e_id=27149

I click the download button from remote
I selected both the old 8910 and the new 8910 and get the same following error msg:
Error Downloading from remote:
This may well be the result of a bug in the RMIR software.....
Software version of RMIR is 3.1.11

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi JoJo, since you haven't posted since 2012, we could use some more information as a lot has changed since then. For starters, what sort of JP1 cable are you using? The URC-8910 requires an older style EEPROM cable, which originally came as parallel port cables. But since the parallel ports disappeared a long time back, maybe you've got a replacement cable since then.

If you have a more modern FTDI cable, those don't work with old EEPROM remotes like the URC-8910 without an adapter.

Back in 2012, you were probably using IR.exe, have you ever used RMIR before?

Yes I had success with IR.exe (Although that's not working either right now)
The cable I have is JP1 EEPROM from TXSat Electronics
It's a USB cable
Also when I click IR.exe and select Check Interfaces, that is successful.
I've been trying to use RMIR and I got the error that I posted above
I bought it from this website:
http://www.txsat.net/JP1_EEPROM.html
This worked with the IR.exe program back in the day.
I no longer have the driver cd that came with it.
I got the drivers from here which seems to have worked via the device manager....but now I am not so sure

I am able to open your file using IR.exe ok, but it crashes with RMIR. I've tracked the problem down to 2 spurious looking keymoves.

I have deleted those from this IR file and it opens OK with RMIR, but it is flagging the 2 macros as being not right.

Thanks. I was able to upload that new file you created to my remote and I have now saved it.
Is there anything I need to be worried about now with this new file you created?
Or is it as simple as deleting those extraneous macros?
BTW thanks for your help on this!

Your only worry would be what those deleting items were supposed to do, but if you've long since stopped needing them, I wouldn't worry about it.
