RM v.0.99 airboard .rmdu file will not load

[drtaul]

Just startted working w/ JP1 URC-8910 remote this weekend.
I loaded in the "Airboard-KM-All Commands.txt" file so I can set up for mythtv.

When I load in this txt file i get the prompt:
Could not find an exact match for the remote "15-1994". Choose on from the list below:" ... I chose the RS 15-1994 6-in-1 Smart.

After loading in this KM file successfully, I switched from the 15-1994 remote to the URC-8910 remote. I then save the setup as Airboard.rmdu.

If I close RM and attempt to open the Airboard.rmdu file, it doesn't seem to load, and the description stays blank.

I loaded in the RDF files yesterday from yahoo/jp1 group/files/tools

RDFs for IR and RM Version 1.17.htm
These RDFs only work in RemoteMaster and IR350 (or later)

Here is what I see at the end rmaster.err file where it seems to be trying to load in the Airboard.rmdu file.

I should mention that if I continue on after loading in the KM file for the airboard keyboard, and setup my URC-8910 keys up, I am able to move the data over to IR.exe and upgrade my remote..... did it several times last night.

Its just that is I save my setup and try to reload it, I can't... thus losing my setup.

This is a bug in RM.

When loading a .RMDU file, it can't handle functions with no name.
If you look at the .RMDU file (in a text editor) generated, you will see two functions defined that have only notes as follows:

Code: Select all

...
Function.18.notes=OBC\=000
...
Function.24.notes=OBC\=000
...

As a workaround, after you load the KM file in RM, go to the Functions tab and delete the 2 functions that have no name, them save the upgrade. You should be all set.
