JP1 Remotes

Boy, am I almost all set. If I can change a few basic things it will save me so much memory.

Here is what I want...

Since I don't look at the 15-2117 running ext2 in the dark, I use the pip button as TV MUTE. This is good as I can feel it as it is in the middle to the right of Volume. I also use FREEZE as FavChannels button as it, too, is in the middle to the left of CH. This is used to controll the CBL device (DCT6412). I use last and move to do a replay and 30 second skip...very nice.

However, it would be nice to just define VOL keys to use TV in phantom 1 and CH KEYS to use CBL.

The problem is that Vol Keys include the MUTE Button. Also, use freeze and fav for transport keys.

So, I was wondering if we could DEFINE which keys would be in "our own" SET_VOL_KEYS, etc. Even, for now, if we had to use a hex editor to move them around. It would so great if we could define our own "key sets".

So, any ideas, or should I load up on key moves?

P.S. I am using IR5.15 and Ext2.

Not sure IR 6.15 or EXT 3 would help anything.

Well, since no real expert has jumped in on this, I'll tell you what I believe (and may be totally wrong). The keysets are actually a part of the remote's internal definition, and is not set by the RDF, nor by the extender. I don't believe it's possible (or at the very least likely to be costly in terms of effort to create and ultimately memory consumed) to re-define these keysets.

I may be wrong, but somebody smarter than me will have to tell you that.

You're right. The keysets are internally coded. There are some examples of old extenders show how you can include a table w/ new keysets but it would take up a lot of space and take away the space for keymoves and devices.

It takes a lot less space to use the internal table and override the keys you don't like with a keymove or two.

OK, all:

I was afraid of that!

Thank you,
