 Posted: Thu Mar 11, 2004 6:23 pm Post subject: Sony RMT-V303 Device weirdness and IR - part 2 |
 |
|
| Add in devices have their buttons all scrambled up. To make it work, I must use keymoves to define each button. I have uploaded 2 configs, the working one, and the broken one, as well as the device files to the diagnostic area. You can get them at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jp1/files/Diagnosis%20Area/dad-v303-IR.zip . Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

Well, I see no obvious reasons why these upgrades shouldn't work. Looking at the efc's in the keymoves of the working version and the efc's in the upgrades, and the load in IR and all match and they look fine. Since I don't have one of these remotes I can't test it to see what you are getting.
So, all I can do is ask a few questions that may help uncover the problem.
For one, did you try these upgrades in the unextended remote to make sure they work in the native remote?
This may have nothing to do with it but are you on the current version of the rdf's for the extender or are you using the one from the extender zip file.
What are the other remotes that these upgrades work in?
Since I may be missing something obvious I would appreciate one of the protocol and IR experts taking a look at this.

I tried the upgrades in the extended and non extended remote. They didn't work in either.

I have tried both. The result is the same.

I have tried it on my Sony RMT-Y809s, and will be trying it on a 6131 as soon as it arrives. |

In the file at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jp1/files/Hardware/Sony-TiVo-Remote-Rev2_2.txt it says
| Quote: | The Restriction in IR.exe (RMT-V303 only)
-----------------------------------------
On the [Devices] tab, you can see the mapping of Hex Cmd and EFC on
each key, however, IR.exe (at least currently) cannot display the
mapping correctly for this remote. This is due to a slight difference
in the key map data format from other remotes. |
I think maybe since then, an IR upgrade fixed the display problem, but broke the actual code for the remote. Just a guess, but it seems to make sense to me. Especially with a remote that isn't very high profile at all. |

I don't think IR is at fault here. IIRC, the problem with the Sony RMT-V303 is that it DOESN'T use a DigitMap entry at all. I think KM used to support this, but somehow got broken along the way.
Try this: edit the upgrade code in IR and delete the 2nd byte (it should be "00"). For example, your DVD upgrade code is
5A 00 BE FE FE E1 00 5D 5D AF 7F BF 3F DF 5F 9F
1F EF 6F DB 3B B7 FB 84 97 6B FE 7E 75 4D 7B D7
57 FF 37 67 4F CB FD 5B 08 DE
Delete the "00".

It did, and it did! 
I've fixed it for the next release.

Here's the 2 upgrades for the Sony remote from your zip file:
Toshiba SD Series DVD:

5A BE FE FE E1 00 5D 5D AF 7F BF 3F DF 5F 9F 1F
EF 6F DB 3B B7 FB 84 97 6B FE 7E 75 4D 7B D7 57
FF 37 67 4F CB FD 5B 08 DE
End
Scientific Atlantic 8610 Star:
Upgrade Code 0 = 22 A5 (Cable/0677)
00 B0 00 00 C1 90 90 90 99 09 89 49 C9 29 A9 69
E9 19 B9 79 E1 F9 71
End

Ahhh. Success! You guys rock.  Now it works fine, just doesn't display correctly in IR. I can live with that. |

I don't believe that it ever did (or will), hence that note you quoted above.
