The Philips Compact Disc Interactive (CD-i) is a old games console. It has support for an IR controller with an analog joystick on it, two buttons, and some transport controls. I have a CD-i 210/25, and wanted my URC7781 to be able to control my CD-i.

I found some old Pronto captures of the remote commands, and with some experimentation have reverse engineered the protocol, and succeeded in making the URC7781 operate my CD-i. The following information is for the RC6 based version of the CD-i protocol; apparently earlier CD-i models (like the CD-i 205/00) use a RC5 based protocol instead.

The gamepad controls (analog joystick + two buttons) use RC6-M-32, but in a strange way (using the subdevice for data), seemingly contradicting the protocol notes in RMIR of "This supports a family of potential protocols of which MCE is the only know example."

Due to the stangeness of the gamepad controls, I have implemented this on my remote as several device upgrades, along with a series of HEX keymoves, attaching these device upgrades to the transport device upgrade.
