Robman, the FLIRC device that he has connected to his Raspberry Pi acts like a USB keyboard to the Pi. It does not have a hard coded set of IR commands it receives. For JP1 - pick a device - any device - just not a device that you actually have anywhere in your system. Add that device to your JP1 ...

Visiting this forum is as much a part of my morning routine as brushing my teeth and eating breakfast. Even though I switched to a Harmony 650 6 years ago, I still follow developments here every day. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to my enjoyment over the years that started with my Cinema 7.

22 years ago I got a "free" Cinema 7 remote when I bought my first HDTV. Shortly thereafter, I joined this group and have barely missed a day since then. Merry Christmas to Rob and everyone who contributes here for improving my life since then.

I believe the lirc configuration that is supposed to be emulating the WDTV is not correct. Can you choose another lirc configuration that emulates some other device and controls the Vero? If so, I would choose one of those and then find the upgrade in our File Section that controls that device.

questions for clarity

TiceRex

I have been watching and reading and I am not sure, but I think the following are correct:

You are trying to control a Vero 4k + device using your URC-7935.
You do not own an actual WDTV Live media player.

If the above assumptions are correct, then I think it's possible that people here ...

Another approach is to move your desired app to the first location on the ROKU home screen, then program a macro to be: Home, Home, right, enter. The double Home is in case you were already on the home screen, but scrolled down. This works on a couple of ROKU models that I own. YMMV

The Fire Stick supports a connected USB keyboard as a way to control it. The IReTV receives xbox IR commands and translates them into keystrokes and emulates a USB keyboard at the USB connection to the Fire Stick.

So, this would only work IF the Roku also allows you to connect a USB keyboard AND ...

If you look in our file section, there are 15 different Samsung DVD/VCR combo units listed. Here is the link
Although your specific unit isn't listed, I expect Samsung didn't change things very much.

The WaveShare bare PCB option that you showed had a jumper that you could select 3.3V on the outputs. That seems like the safer option to me.

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 ...

I may be able to supply some information about this, but it is only guessing, since I do not own the inteset IReTV device. I do, however own a FLIRC which does the same thing in is different way. What both of these do is receive a set of IR codes and turn them into a set of USB Keyboard codes. The ...

I was able to verify that the file posted by n8nagel is also correct for the uglier version. So, likely identical electronics inside.

Rob asked:
Did you create an upgrade for this box Phil? If so, could you post a link please? Nate's box uses NEC1 dev 1.254
I didn't and I am 1500 miles from the device right now. I have an idea for how I can check it though. If it works, I'll create the file and post back here.

If I were not 1500 miles from my Vizio, I would do some experiments. But that isn't possible right now.

I intentionally programmed my Vizio to respond to the LG vol commands. This lets me use the LG menu to send the sound to the TV speakers or to the Visio and since only one or the other is in use ...

Yes, I wished for an IR wired jack as well. I wanted to hide a couple of things on the back of my entertainment center and behind doors as well. So I also added IR distribution and that is how I hid this and other, less visually objectionable things.
