JP1 Remotes

The code sequence for the Platform Menu (which contains the Key Test) is no longer working for me. Other secret menus seem to be working fine.

It turns out they changed the entry sequence to
HOME x5, FFWD, DOWN, REW, DOWN, FFWD.

@chileboy, if f you are still having problems with your remotes, Roku TVs have secret tests available.

In the Platform Menu there is a remote Key Test that tells how it interprets your key presses. Try it with your OEM remote, then try it with your universal.

On the Remote Test page, there is a "scoreboard" counting how many times a particular key or type of key was pressed. Three of them ( JOIN , A & B ) were never acknowledged in all of the 128 OBCs. I suspect that they are three of the four "inactive" keys when they are activated. Roku's online ...

I have seen some Onn 3660s on eBay where the JP1 connector was not even populated.

One of them is a remote Key Press test, which shows the identity of any key you press for all 128 OBCs, 0-127.
(It should work for the Dynex keys, too, but I have not bothered to try them.)

A copy of said files is being maintained at GitHub.

Useful.

Well, I better understand the limitations, now, but my first impression was that an extender meant an augmented firmware, adding capabilities beyond the factory software.

I had also seen a patch for my Charter remote, so I knew that was possible.

Yes, I see that now.

Useful.

When you download from the remote it downloads the upgrades,
key moves and any macros. If you edit one of the devices
you will see the function names have been changed to match the
key names and all comments have been removed.
I see that, now. I thought that I saw more, yesterday.

I still don't ...

Not to be contentious, how am I able to see the "unofficial" functions when I download the remote, then?

As to WHY he wants to program upgrades manually, which is more to what you're asking, I have no idea.
One of my input pins on my URC-3660 broke. It is optimized for my current devices, but can only be programmed manually, now (including the two extra devices).

And I only have access to the ...

Thanks. Good to know.
