Hi all,

I downloaded an X1 device upgrade and added it to my Cinema 7 for my new Comcast X1 cable box. The upgrade works fine on my 8811 but on the 7800, the commands work but repeat indefinitely, so that the remote freezes and I have to remove the batteries to get it to stop. I've tried XMP types XMP-1 and XMP-2, both of which work with above restriction, and I also tried XMP-Slingbox protocol instead of XMP, which does not work. I also tried Final Frame toggle which seems to have no effect. Any other ideas?

did you change the upgrade to URC-7800 before you copied it?

I'm using RM 2.03: What I did was open the upgrade within RM and import it, making sure to change the remote to 7800 when adding the new cable device. Is that what you mean, or is there something else I should have done?

I seem to remember this problem with XMP, but no search pops it up. That was a problem in an old version of KM, perhaps the changes didn't make it into RM. In order to get help post a link to the x1 file that you imported and then post a link to the RMIR file that you are using on your 7800.

Thanks Liz, that is the post that describes the problem and solution. We have a couple of versions of xmp. The jp1 version uses a termination call that didn't exist in the older 7800. So the solution is to use XMP,{UEI) which is a bigger protocol. The jp1 version is used for the older remotes that don't have the protocol built in, but not quite as old as the 7800.

I can't believe this was posted 5 years ago. No wonder I was foggy on this.

Color me very encouraged but still confused! I see from the other post that I need to use the UEI XMP protocol, but I'm not clear how to do that. In RM I see only XMP and XMP (Slingbox). I opened the linked Robman file and tried to use it as a cable device upgrade but I have the sense I am missing something. Do I need to edit protocol.ini? (One other good thing that came of this is I finally searched and found an old post about "writeRemote -1", that mystery was solved with a 981 reset.) So the question I have is, how do I select/add the UEI XMP protocol?

Thanks!

Ok, fired up the old PC to have a look.

Open protocols.ini and scroll down until you find this portion.
Code:

[XMP]
OldNames=XMP (UEI)
PID=01 6C


Change the name to something other than plain XMP, something like [XMP (UEI)] or [XMP (7800)]. Then it will show up in RM as an option, don't know why this was changed to not be an option.

Code:

[XMP (UEI)]
OldNames=XMP (UEI)
PID=01 6C

Do you recall exactly which call it is? This executor only uses $010A (test button held down) and $0158/$0145 (pause).

I believe the test if repeat is required clobbered something, don't quite remember.
5 years ago when I helped on this, the only thing I saw was that the JP1 verision didn't work on the 7800 Cinema 7 but did work on remotes that were slightly newer.
If you look at the one that worked, we are jumping if NC, instead of the test of the register W6 = 0.

Other than the 7800 which was my first foray into dark territory here, I've pretty much specialize in the Motorola based remotes.
