JP1 Remotes

Posted: **Thu Jan 14, 2016 12:37 am**

I have an Int-422-2, and I am trying to set it for use with my HTPC running Kodi. My IR receiver is an HP OVU400102/00 Media Center IR USB. I have two remotes that work out of the box with this receiver, the SageTV HD100 and the Hauppauge 45 key remote, both of which have upgrades available her on this site. Not all of the buttons work on both these remotes, and there are a few buttons from each that are not on the other.

I tried transferring the functions from the Hauppauge remote upgrade to the SageTV remote upgrade, but the remotes have different Device numbers (they are both RC-5), the sageTV is 28 and the Hauppauge is 30 and I couldn't figure out how to get the upgrade to work with the different device numbers. I would appreciate any help transferring functions from the Hauppauge upgrade to the SageTV upgrade (or if anyone has a better upgrade for Kodi and this IR reciever, I'd love to hear that too!). I have also learned the functions with my Int-422-2, but I have the same issues transfering those to the sagetv HD100 upgrade.

I have uploaded a zip file with the rmir file with the learns, my working rmir file without the learns, and the upgrade for the SageTV HD100 I am using. The functions from the Hauppauge remote I i learned are:

Code: Select all

Hauppauge	Int-422-2
replay	triangle
skip	red
Power	green
Videos	yellow
*/text	blue
#/Sub/CC	rec

and the Hauppauge upgrade I am using is here: https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... le_id=3088

Any help would be appreciated.

When you transfer the functions you are losing the device settings. On the functions tab, the device is defaulting to :
28,OBC<64
You need to change that to:
30,OBC<64
Just double-click in the device column on the functions page, and you will be able to select the desired value from a list.

Now there is a problem with functions. You have 2 Videos codes, and several of the functions have the same Device/OBC combo

videos

Code: Select all


Videos			00166	166	30,OBC<64	24	9D	from haup
Videos			00050	050	28,OBC<64	60	0C	
Videos (SageTV Recordings)	00241	241	28,OBC<64	38	64

multiple functions using the same device/obc combination when the device is different that's okay. When I looked at your from haup and changed them all to 30,OBC<64, I had conflicts with the learns.

Code: Select all

Dash (-)	00108	108	28,OBC<64	10	D4

Thanks for taking a look!

When you transfer the functions you are losing the device settings. On the functions tab, the device is defaulting to :
28,OBC<64
You need to change that to:
30,OBC<64
Just double-click in the device column on the functions page, and you will be able to select the desired value from a list.

When I change the device to 30,obc<64 the hex value changes, for example:

Code: Select all

*/text	00108	108	28,OBC<64	10	D4 goes to
*/text	00100	100	30,OBC<64	10	D5

Does that not make a difference?

multiple functions using the same device/obc combination when the device is different that's okay. When I looked at your from haup and changed them all to 30,OBC<64, I had conflicts with the learns.

That was because I forgot to remove the functions I manually transferred from the haup upgrade before I did the learns. Basically I was hopping the learns would give me a clue on the functions, but because they are the same there is a conflict. The part that confuses me though, is the learns work fine on the Int-422-2 but the functions I manually transferred do not.

Yes, in a GOOD way. The hex is a parameter to a subroutine. The hex changed to send the correct device and obc.

Thanks for the help, I was able to transfer all the functions.

For anyone interisted, I have setup an upgrade for using Kodi and a MCE USB IR receiver. File is here: https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... e_id=13861

Ah, now I understand why you were concerned with the Hex, you were looking at this with XMBC on the mind. Your upgrade looks good. Thanks for your contribution.

Chances that this isn't MCE protocol like all other HP MCE receivers are very low. I think you'd get better results with that protocol rather than this bastardized RC5.

This is where my newbie status kicks in, I didn't know about the MCE protocol. The reason I went this route is because I have two remotes hanging around the house that worked with this receiver and and they were both RC-5 and had upgrades already on this site. Do you have a recommendation on an upgrade file with the MCE protocol for me to start with? If not I'll just download a few and test them.

Before I read your comment I was just putting together an upgrade to search for more RC-5 functions that triggered Kodi actions. There is an excellent windows applet called showkey.exe at http://xbmcmce.sourceforge.net/ that reads the remote input and outputs the xml code for Kodi's keymap.xml that corresponds. I was planning on loading up the functions below and seeing if there are any new Kodi actions I can find. I id'd these as possible functions by simply looking for unused OBC codes in the two upgrade files I based the above upgrade on.

Two questions,

1) Is there any danger in creating an upgrade this way and loading it onto my remote?
2) Do you think this is pointless inquiry as starting over with an MCE protocol based upgrade would be better?

Try my Ceton Echo upgrade.

There is no danger in creating such an upgrade. But it is pointless since every possible OBC has already been tested and documented. I've been through this exercise many times myself. I've found the most comprehensive MCE code list on an XBMC wiki, but don't remember exactly where.

If you really want the most control, get an FLIRC dongle and create your own command map for Kodi using an arbitrary protocol.

EDIT:
Here's my Ceton upgrade:
https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... e_id=11769

Here's the MCE code list:
http://kodi.wiki/view/Using_a_Microsoft ... in_Windows

Keep in mind, there are 256 possible codes, not just 64. So when I test all possible codes, I usually create 5 or 6 devices to cover them all.
