Slingbox RDF & RM issue

Post by The Robman »

I've managed to download the data from the Slingbox's EEPROM but it just contains raw upgrades and they aren't stored in a way that will work with IR.exe (so a regular RDF isn't needed), but they are regular upgrades, so I figured that I would create a "fake" RDF for it which contains the correct keymaps, so I can create upgrades using RM.

I've managed to figure out the keymaps used in the Slingbox and have created a fake RDF:
https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... le_id=1966

However, if I load an upgrade into RM and switch the remote to the Slingbox, RM spits out all sorts of errors (which are easy to re-create if you download the RDF, so I won't list them all here).

My guess is that I've tripped a bunch of pre-defined limits because the Slingbox allows for many more buttons in each device mode than we are accustomed to seeing (ie, up to 81 buttons per mode).

Greg, is there a pre-defined limit to the number of buttons allowed in each device mode? Greg/Nils, did I make any silly errors in the RDF to make it not compliant with RM?

There are no predefined limits in RM for buttons maps. I'll take a look and see if I can figure out what's missing from the RDF that RM needs. It may be a little while before I can get to it, though.

The first issue is that RM wants a blank line before the [DigitMaps].

Make it a blank line before the [DigitMaps] and clear everything after the [Protocols] and it works

Thanks Greg, that was it.
