RemoteMaster and Mac OS X Yosemite again

drone · Post by **drone** » Thu Mar 19, 2015 12:42 pm

Hello,

I tried to read all info about latest RemoteMaster (RemoteMaster.v2.03Alpha28build18) and OS X Yosemite with latest Java 8_40. But still did not get it to work. I use an cheap usb adapter with FTDI Chip FT232R. This works great on windows 7 with default drivers an several remotes i used.
Under OS Yosemite I installed the latest FTDI driver (disabled the Mac Yosemite driver). The device is recognized under System Profiler and Terminal. Also CoolTerm is working and seeing the port. I an able to start RemoteMaster by double-clicking the remote.jar (tried to run the setup.sh script but only got a RemoteMaster.desktop and a RMIR.desktop file. if i try to start those nothing happens). When I click the download from remote button there is the: "Error downloading from Remote" message. the raw download is only full of "00"

In the master.err file seems to be some hints to my problem (which I do not understand

Sorry for that long post.
What should I try now?

All the button map errors are normal since those are all indeed missing from the RDF. So that part is harmless. I suspect Java 8 may be the culprit. Can you uninstall that and give Java 7 a try?

Can you also post the successfully downloaded RMIR file from your PC?

drone,
I am successfully running RemoteMaster v2.03 Alpha 28 build 16 under Java 8 (1.8.0_31) under Yosemite OS X 10.10.2 with the FTDI FT232R driver (with a cheap Chinese USB adapter).

There is a thread on that: http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15872

Have you been able to work with the Dreambox V6 URC-39931 RJ0 remote before? The reason I ask is that the RDF file in SourceForge is clearly not in finished form. binky123 uploaded an improved version into the RDF Development Area, but it isn't ready for actual JP1 usage either. The [Protocols] section of RDFs need to include information about variants of the built-in executors. For example, any remote made in the last 10 years needs to have the entry 0027:new rather than 0027, or th eremote will crash on uploading Somy 12/15/20 Combo. The existing 33063306 RDFs don't have any variants shown, and some upgrades generated with these RDFs will not work. We also obviously have some work to do correlate button numbers with the button maps.

Hello,

thank you for helping.

I removed Java 8_40 and installed java 6_45 from Apple. Still the same errors.

The raw download file is only full of "00"

Now the new part: I installed the same RemoteMaster Version on two other Mac laptops with mac os x yosemite (one with java 6_45 from Apple and one with java 8_40 from oracle) and the same FTDI driver. Booth are working with no problem. Only my desktop iMac is not?

What to do? Sure i can use my laptop but i'd like to do it with the iMac sa the laptop is for work only.

thx

Clearly the download size isn't right, but I can't guess why. Maybe Graham will look at it.

Still need that good RMIR file.

Can you do a raw download? Select the "Raw download" item from the Remote menu, click the Download button on the panel that opens. If that works, use the Save button to save it with the default filename and post it for us to look at.

Post by **mathdon** » Sat Mar 21, 2015 9:29 am

I have had a further look at this and my best guess is that the RDF has a wrong value for the EEPROM size. If that is so, then other things are also wrong with the RDF. A value that is too large will cause the USB serial interface (I take it that is what is being used) to attempt to read outside the true EEPROM area. If this happens, the read fails and the interface returns -1 as the number of bytes read. The FFFFFFFF in the error log corresponds to -1. Any other read failure would also cause a return value of -1, but as the interface clearly can read the remote, as it has read the signature, this seems less likely.

A raw download, which I suggested in my previous post, does not rely on the RDF for the EEPROM size, so if I am right, that should work.

Hello,

I performed the raw download and the file is only full of "00".
I could upload the saved file (how do I attach this file to my post)?

The other thing is: on two other mac running yosemite and same settings (drivers, java etc.) it works without problem?

mdavej · Post by **mdavej** » Sun Mar 22, 2015 8:07 am

Please post the file from the Mac that works.

Post by **mathdon** » Sun Mar 22, 2015 8:10 am

You attach a file to a post by uploading it to the Diagnosis Area of the File Section and then putting a link to that upload in your post. There is no point in uploading a raw download full of 00's but I think it would still be worth uploading a saved .rmir file from this remote made on a computer on which it works.

On the other Macs on which it works, are they all running Alpha 28 build 18 of RMIR or have they an earlier build? Have they the same Java version? Is there any identifiable difference between their setups and yours that you can see? If they are running Alpha 28 build 16 or earlier and are running RMIR from the shell script RMIR.sh then it is running in root mode. That is something which build 18 tried to get away from. In the absence of other suggestions, you might like to try running RMIR as root. I can't see why the USB serial interface libjp12serial.jnilib should be able to read some data without having root privileges while not being able to read the whole dataset, but we seem to be running out of ideas so it is worth a try.
