Adding buttons to Hollywood+

Post by snuffy2 »

I'm currently using my 2116 with a Hollywood+ receiver, by using this keymap:

Everything works great, but I need a few more buttons. I was browsing around and came accross this post that said that the Hollywood+ receiver can only detect the Hollywood+ remote BUT it can support 64 commands.

The keymap I'm using and the Hollywood+ remote itself don't have 64 buttons, but I was wondering if it would be possible to add the other buttons to create a FULL keymap?

I'm not using the hollywood+ software, I'm using Girder, so the theoretical function of the button isn't necessary, I can program Girder to do whatever I want.

So affer all that, how can I add these extra buttons to the keymap? Can anyone tell me what the Hex, OBC or EFC range would be or how I can determine it (the above links might help determine this)?

Thanx

If you look at the OBCs for this upgrade in KM, you'll notice that all of the OBCs in the range 0 thru 31 have been used, then they also use 6 from the range 64 to 88, which seems a bit odd.

If you want to add new functions, I would suggest that you stat with OBC 32 and work your way up to 63. Given that they've already used 6 OBCs above 63, you might only be able to go as high as 57, but try it and see.

You won't be able to include all 64 function codes in a single upgrade though, as none of the JP1 remotes have that many buttons.
