Started again and how is this now? http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=file&file_id=12180

With that configuration loaded into the remote, it blinked once when TV button pressed and Ch+, which seems something new!
(it has dawned that it is because, in Uk, we have Tv via an aerial on the roof, but in US the regular Tv is via Cable. So 'TV' button = 'CBL' button)

Then changed the TV set up code back to 2004 and it looks good:-



So far I have understood that I could somehow designate two keys, one to switch to alternative device (in this case presumably whatever is configured in device with set up code 1107) and the other button to switch the TV device back to the set up code 2004 configuration...

It looks as if the Channel up and the channel down buttons will do this, and suppose that is what pressing Ch+ was about. As it is, new TV device has Ch+ and Ch- commands pre-installed and I just need to put in others by entering OBCs...

Thank you very much binky mdavej and vicky

Your file still isn't quite right. TV 1107 and Ch+ is temporary for patching the remote to enable multiplexer functionality. After you press Ch+, 1107 and the associated protocol can be deleted entirely. The other new protocol must stay (appears to be missing in your RMIR file). No need to worry about OBCs. Just use the Special Functions tab to configure the multiplexer. However, I can't seem to make this work myself. Perhaps I have the wrong RDF.

Right thanks. Just had a quick look before going out but, without knowing what to expect, only noticed that there were no new options in the special functions tab, and perhaps that explains it. Will have another go at getting the files into RMIR.

Here's what I think is the URC-7950 rdf which I have been using, normally, without problems http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=file&file_id=12181 - in case it is the same as the one you have...

2nd try image http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=file&file_id=12182

Had trouble knowing what to put where but this is the latest state of play, still no options for 'type' in special functions, if it matters.

You don't need to use TV/1107 anymore. That only had 2 functions in its upgrade and that was to Enable the Patch(CH+) or to Disable the Patch(CH-). Enable the patch means to use the device setup table as is in RAM. Disable the patch means to load in the device setup table from EEPROM at every keypress.

You should have the Protocol 01FE Unextended Device Multiplexor loaded and a device setup upgrade that references 01FE.

Binky, apologies that the terms are still confusing and that is beyond me.

I think that, after I got the blink of the light when pressing Ch+, deleted 1101 (and at the same time agreed in a popup option to removal of something said only to be associated with that), and replaced the setup code for the Samsung Tv, I have been able to load:-

I hope you can bear with me as I don't use RMIR that frequently if at all.

I downloaded "latest 4 one stage missing partial multiplexor Image SR URC7950 F8000.ir" and loaded it using rmir(remotemaster 2.02a).

I click on the Protocols Tab, select entry #1, and then click the delete button. This deletes the manual 01FE entry.

I click on the Devices Tab. Click on the New button. The Device Upgrade Editor pops up. Click on Import Raw button and an Import Raw Upgrade window pop appears.

Thanks very much for the walkthrough. That all went fine and produced the predicted results (although I can't get the multiplexor to work yet)
The only slight hiccough was with:-

[binky123]

You are correct in that TV/1208 was just an example. I don't have a list of device setup codes you want so I couldn't use your exact example.

The General Tab lists your 5 device slots. You fill these slots(buttons) with a device type and a setup code.

The device type/setup code refers to a built-in table of setup codes or to the device upgrade table. RMIR and IR.exe modify the device upgrade table. This device upgrade table of setup codes contains more devices than listed in the General Tab. Keymoves use this by referring to 1 specific entry in the built-in or device upgrade tables even though you are not using those setup codes in the General Tab.

Let me describe the chain of events that should be happening.

You define a keymove in TV mode on the SHIFT-TV button that uses the multiplex setup code TV/1101 to assign TV mode(device slot) to setup code 1208.

Embedded into the keymove is the TV/1208 encoding(04 B8 in hex). This setup code(TV/1101) uses the multiplex 01FE protocol upgrade to process its functions. The 01FE multiplex protocol knows the setup code doesn't have any functions assigned in the setup code and uses the 2 bytes(04 B8) from the keymove to fill in one of the device slots in RAM memory. The device slots are listed in the General Tab.

So this multiplex operation basically overwrites the current setup code in RAM with the one supplied in the keymove. You can create a keymove with the multiplex protocol to load AUD/2013 into the TV mode slot. Subsequent keypresses in TV mode will send IR commands to your Panasonic Home Theatre system.

Of course, all of this assumes you've patched your remote correctly. You may need another program(or device upgrade+protocol upgrade) to dump the contents of your remote to make sure it was patched correctly.

Thanks that is very clear. I see what I was doing wrong and that several extra devices can be loaded and appear only in the device tab, with no additional device slots in the general tab. Also nearly see how any one of those devices can be specified by the keymove so the multiplexor setup code(TV/1101) can use the multiplexor program [device upgrade+01FE protocol upgrade] for the keys of an existing, or extra device, to be transferred to RAM.

After a few more tries it works Thanks again!!

In TV mode
Shift-TV = TV buttons control SAT
Shift-Stop = TV buttons control TV

That's good to hear. Good job confirming the patch and unextended device multiplexor work.
