I downloaded your .rmdu file...downloaded remotemaster...opened it in remotemaster...changed the remote to "Slingbox with UEI JU Chip"...and the other 3 afterwards...exported the binary upgrade...copied the file: Y1010_JU, PL, PK, RV respectively to the slingmedia/SBAV folder.

Loaded up the av setup wizard in sling. selected, philips, dvd player, other model, and then put Y1010 in the Alternative option for Control Code....but when I hit POWER to test..nothing happens.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I really want to get my DVR working with Sling. I have the Slingbox Pro v.2 IR blaster. Thanks for you help.

Maku, You may not be getting help because you're in the wrong forum. Try the 'Slingbox' forum...Jack

The UEI PL and UEI PK chips use 0058:2 variant of the RC-6 protocol. The UEI JU chip uses 0058. Can you open in a text editor like NotePad the file BINPL (Slingbox with UEI PL Chip).rdf in your RDF directory?

Go down to the [Protocols] section and change 0058 to 0058:2.

In RM, when you change your remote type to 'Slingbox with UEI PL chip', you should see 4 bytes in the Fixed Data box instead of 2.

I followed the instructions best I could to get Sling Pro IR control over my DVDR3575H using Slingplayer v1.5.0.322 on a MS Vista/Enterprise PC. No joy.

I did download the .rmdu file. I did change BINPL (Slingbox with UEI PL Chip).rdf the [Protocols] section and change 0058 to 0058:2 I did export as Y1010_PL to the C:\Program Files\Sling Media\SlingPlayer\SBAV.

There is no .cfg file to edit. I opened the player and selected dvr/philips/other and tried to enter the Y1010 alt_code... the IR lookup errors and sez it cannot find it.

MAKU: Can you just email your .bin file and other details I might need to get this going. I'm heading overseas again soon and sure wish to record/watch football while I'm gone.

We did have a recent case of where the Dreambox/XMP protocol signal sent by the Slingbox UEI chip didn't quite match the signal sent by a UEI remote. Maybe that's the case here? Anyway, someone will have to learn/capture the signals sent by the Slingbox.

binky123,

You tip worked!!! (to change it to 0058:2) I just got it setup and am controlling my dvdr3575 remotely now!! woot woot!!

I do have a little problem...and important button (the SHIFT key) isn't on the default remote inside the slingbox to use multiple keys with alternate function.

I'll read up on some forums to either remap the keys and cut out some functions or figure out how to "re-skin" the remote so it has a SHIFT key.

But, at least it's controlling the unit!

Thanks again! I'm very grateful.

Sure, I'll PM you my bin file (or post it if I can), but it may or may not work from what I've read, there are differences in different sling box...mine is a sling pro though, but even that there are differences you can tell based on serial numbers or looking in your about file.

let me know if it works.

EDIT: I sent you a PM and I uploaded it to the Slingbox BIN files

In RM, look in the Buttons tabsheet to assign functions to the virtual remote on the Slingbox. I don't think the virtual remote supports the concept of the SHIFT button. The virtual remote has a bunch of FP buttons that you can probably use.

Maku, your Y1010_PL.BIN fine worked OK from my MSVista/Enterprise PC running Slingplayer v1.5.0322 against a SM/Pro S/N A20703XXXXXrunning firmware 1.0.39.

I understand all the functions are not there and your working hard to resolve this. I did however, post the need for this device in the slingmedia IR code device support request web site http://support.slingmedia.com/get/KB-005163.html

A big thanks.. I'm heading back overseas for several months and setting up this home network so I don't miss anymore nascar races, football games or the worldseries.

Sorry, but that's about it for my knowledge on the Slingbox software. I have no idea what's available on the virtual remote display. I just saw the FP and INPUT buttons referenced in the RDF and suggested using those. Good luck.
