JP1 Remotes

Could it be that there is something wrong with the RDF for the URC-6820?

I can upload and download to and from the remote just fine (using JP1.2), and when teaching it the signals from my original TV remote, IR.exe reports the exact same protocol and EFCs that I am using in my upgrade file. When I upload the upgrade to an RS-2117 or URC-6131n, it works just fine. But when uploading it to the URC-6820, the TV does not respond to any button.

Below the contents of my RDF file. I deleted the URC-8820/10820 references in the name, and corrected the protocol section based on other posts.

Does anyone see anything wrong here? Thx!

Which upgrade file are you using? If it is from the download area, provide a link.
If you created your own, upload it to the Diagnosis Area and post the link to the uploaded file. Possibly the IR file might help as well.

I started with the RDF listed in the 1.27 ZIP file named: 10631063 (URC-6820_8820_10820).rdf

I then modified that RDF with these changes:

1. Removed the references to 8820 and 10820 (I know....*n*l)

2. Per vicky's instructions, under [Settings], I added: KeyMap=$01F.5.1.0.0 (Standard;Alternate)

3. Per vicky's instructions, I replaced the protocols section:

The resulting RDF can be found here.

The IR file can be found here.

I think you've messed up the rdf somehow, since I get list out of bounds errors when I open your IR file and the "hidden" devices (7 thru 10) on the General Tab all indicate <ERROR> for Device Type, and you have a partial KeyMove on VCR/Shift-Input that cannot be edited.

Try it using the original rdf.
Then make ONE change at a time and repeat - I would make ONLY the changes to the [Settings] AltKeymap and [Protocols] sections (one at a time) and see if it works better.

(I've learned a bitter lesson that tweaking an rdf just to make it look better or "cleaner" without knowledge can lead to unforeseen consequences, most of which are BAD!)

I'm getting the list index error with an unmodified RDF so I think there's something corrupt in the raw data itself. If you correct the device errors on the General tab, the list index error goes away.

What I see that seems odd to me is that the upgrade for the TV (CD/1812) is assigned to the VCR device button. I wonder if that's by design or a result of some sort of corruption?

Ehmm..wow...I don't know WHAT happened there. Can't even open the file on my own computer anymore without that same error. FUBAR.

Starting over.....tried a bare minimum upgrade and got some response.

Beginners/user error

Thx for the replies!

Progress. I can now get the TV to respond to functions sent by an upgrade device. However the button mapping is messed up. For example:

Physical button -> RM layout button -> Transmitted function
1 -> 1 -> 1
2 -> 2 -> 2
3 -> 3 -> 8
4 -> 4 -> 4
5 -> 5 -> 5
6 -> 6 -> 6
7 -> 7 -> 7
8 -> 8 -> 3
9 -> 9 -> 9
0 -> 0 -> 0

I swapped the 3 and 8 by swapping the code assigned to each in the [Buttons] section of my RDF. But should I change it there, or in the [ButtonMaps] section?

Thx..I tried finding this by searching, could be that my search criteria were not smart enough .

Your RDF [Settings] line should be KeyMap=$01F.5.1.0.0 (Standard;Alternate) and within IR.exe, on the right side of the General Tabsheet is the Settings scroll bar. Scroll down and make sure it says Standard Keymap.

You nailed it....the Keymap line was the problem (I had 5.1.1.0 instead of 5.1.0.0). I will finish checking all button for the corrected RDF and post it once I'm done (because the one in the 1.27 ZIP file does NOT work).

Thanks!
