JP1 Remotes

I'm on the road on a business trip and I brought my old laptop with me hoping to mess around with JP1 while here, but I've run into a snag.

I'm trying to use IR 5.09 but it gets "no response from remote", same story with 4.02. I just happened to have a really old beta version of IR (2.10, I think) on this computer and that one is able to download from the remote with no problems.

What gives?

I've checked the port settings and it's the same on the new IR as it is on the old IR.

Any ideas?

Try uploading a blank image with the old IR and/or do a 981 reset to the remote.

It's not a problem with the remote, I've done many 981s on it, there's something going on with the software. I can download whenever I chose using the ancient IR, but not using the new IR.

I seem to remember that this has been brought up before, but I never paid attention to what came of the discussion as it's not my area. So hopefully someone who was involved can remember what came of it and help me out here. The ancient IR doesn't have an RDF for the URC-8811 that I'm using and I can't be bothered to make one in the old style for it.

Actually I'm using a regular Simple interface. I understand the problems that used to occur with the original Simple design, but in this case, the thing that's throwing me off is the fact that the old IR.exe can communicate with the remote no problem, it's just the newer versions that are having a hard time.

It happens with the old 4.02 version that I also have on this machine, so it doesn't have anything to do with the new code that Paul's added, it's obviously caused by some change that occurred somewhere between 2.10 and 4.03
