I tried to upload RemoteMaster.jar, but it (< 10MB) was too big for this forum. :evil:

Instead it is available here .

I would also like to understand which functions were missing names,

Your master bed 3.rmir contains the lines

Function.153.name=
Function.154.name=


which I guess is the ...

Yes, I need help debugging it.

So, I fired up the debugger (netbeans 20) on the current SVN sources, and tried to load the save I created in the previous post. Turn out that line #3099 in DeviceUpgrade.java was the culprit:

if ( f.getGid() == 0 || ff != null && !f.getHex().equals( ff.getHex ...

Yes, I need help debugging it. I am seeing the same thing again now. It was working earlier yesterday, but not anymore.


So, using 3.2.0, a few independent tests I did, starting with the master bed 3 remote file each time :
1. deleting all activities and devices / saving / reloading succeeds
2 ...

I do not think this is a good path to follow. It is more likely to spread questionable rumors than to generate true knowledge. There are supported versions, and if the program misbehaves using a supported version, it is a bug. Bugs are fixed. You have posted problematic configurations, and have had ...

Which JDK provider/version is recommended for Remote Master

The project doc on Source forge just mentions Java 8+ . Obviously, there have been many versions of the JDK/JRE since then. And there are multiple distributions, such as Oracle Java and OpenJDK, etc.

I have run into strange bugs with RMIR, and the behavior for these bugs is unfortunately different ...

The problem lies in your settings, not in RMIR. On the General tab you have used Volume Lock to redirect the Vol+, Vol- and Mute keys for all devices to Marantz audio. On the Activities tab you redirect these buttons for the Watch PC activity to PC. That results in a double redirection, first to PC ...

More corruption with ARRX18G

Folllowing the previous corruption thread, I redid my entire remote from scratch in RMIR 3.03 . Unfortunately, I got into a different corruption situation, one where the remote stops sending any IR codes, but there is still (misleading) feedback on the touchscreen that something is being sent. This ...

On further checking, I see that the issue with the Alias column was already fixed in RMIR v3.0.3, so all you need to do is delete the values in the Alias column so that the defaults take effect.

Thank you ! That did it. I wonder how data got into that column in the first place. I don't recall ...

Please post the edited .rmir file that has the setup with the new labels. I will look into this when I have time, but am going abroad on holiday in a few days time so may not be able to do so before I go. It is interesting, and helpful, to know that the issue appears with both v2.13.8 and v3.0.3 as ...

ARRX18G corruption problem/old labels showing - RMIR issue ?

I have a bunch of XSight ARRX18G / Nevo C3 remotes in the house which I have been using for years successfully.

This weekend, I tried to change one of the devices for my lights to use new IR codes and new labels. I feed the signal to FLIRC and could use any signal. I chose the first one in the file ...

Glad to hear it worked for you. I was sure it would. My son-in-law used FLIRC with a Fire TV (the box, not the stick) with the FLIRC plugged in directly in the back of the Fire TV. we used a mirror taped behind that to reflect the IR that was arriving from the front. That worked extremely well, but ...

Thanks ! I wonder why I'm not getting any email notifications from this forum. Sounds like FLIRC is exactly what I want. I can use one IReTV and any number of FLIRC in the same room. The FlIRC looks like it doesn't come with an extension cable or sticker, though, unlike the IReTV, so it costs more ...

Forum email is automated email and many ISPs treat automated email as spam, so maybe check with your ISP to see if there is a way to "white list" main from hifi-remote.com

Thanks for the reply, mdavej.

The cables are Inteset, and I've connected everything according to the diagram, except that I'm powering things from the TV's USB port. The Firestick works fine using the OEM Bluetooth remote even when the Inteset cables are connected.

Should I power the devices ...

Your file looks correct. I've never heard of any issues with older gen sticks. Did you get the Inteset Y cable or some other brand?

I did see one comment on Amazon that USB Debug Mode on the Fire stick must be turned off:
