RMIR SAYS NO REMOTES FOUND - resolved

Steven Kovacs · Post by **Steven Kovacs** » Wed Dec 02, 2015 2:59 pm

I had the program RMIR on my computer. It worked fine with my URC 1056B01 JP1 remote. Some how the program was gone from my computer. I just recently downloaded it again version 2.03 build 10-1. The program downloaded just fine. When I plug in the same remote that I was using before the program disappeared (URC 1056B01) I get the message "No Remotes Found". I did see some message that briefly popped up on the screen that said something about the computer was trying to do something in relationship to why it said No Remotes Found, but that message disappeared to quick for me to read. Bottom line is I still get the message No Remotes Found. Checked the JP1 connection, and batteries. They are both fine. When I plug the JP1 cable into the computer the lights flash on the cable, and the computer makes the sound that a device was just plugged in. Under the remote tab, interface is set to auto detect. Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

1. Did you download the RDFs?
2. Did you set the RDF path?

That error has been known to happen when RMIR cannot find the RDF.

PS. Not sure why you posted this 3 times, but I deleted the other 2.

Hi Rob;
Thank you for your help. How do I download the RDfs, and the RDF path. I have not done that.

I just checked the current build and it comes with the RDFs included, so you should be good there.

You set the path to the RDFs as follows:
File > Set Directory > RDF path (then select the RDF folder under your RMIR folder).

Do you have older RMIR files that you have saved from this remote? If so, what happens when you try to open them? Does RMIR recognize them?

When I click RDF Path I click on the Remote Mater folder then I highlight a folder labeled RDF and click ok. I still get No Remotes Found.
What next?

First, double check that you are hooking the interface wires to the correct pins.
Next, after receiving the message that no remotes are found, exit RMIR, navigate to the same folder as the RemoteMaster jar file, and find the file rmaster.err.
Upload rmaster.err to the Diagnosis area in the File section, and post a link to the file in this thread.

I'm lost. Where do I find the RemoteMaster jar file?

ok, let's take several steps back. You started this thread by saying that you installed RMIR, where did you install it and how did you install it?

I do believe I did something wrong when I downloaded the RMIR program. If you could call me at (207) 229-9178 that would be great.
Here is what I did.

1. I did a google search on "Download RMIR".

2. It took me to a site sourceforge where i clicked on the download
Remote Master v2.03 build10.zip.

3. When it was done downloading I opened up what downloaded and a bunch of files and folders appeared on the screen. Above all the files and folders it said\...
RemoteMaster.v2.03build10.zip - ZIP archive, unpacked size 26,360,891 bytes

That is what I did. Like I said back in August I had the program on my computer and it worked fine, then the RMIR program vanished from my compter.

Did you unzip the file? You never said anything about doing that. Looking at the directory where you placed the zip file, right click on the zip file and choose "Extract All". I am assuming here that you are on a recent version of Windows.

OK, first off, you don't need to Google RMIR, there is a link to it in the file section:

File Section > Tools > Main > RM/RMIR v2.03
http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... e_id=13325

Once you have downloaded the zip file, you have to then unzip it, which it doesn't sound like you did. I'm guessing that you tried running RMIR from within the zip file, which definitely won't work.

Once you have unzipped it, double click on the setup.vbs file, which will create shortcuts.

I did click on setup.vbs file so I assume it got unzipped. At some point after clicking on setup.vbs file I get this message...

C:\Users\Brian\AppData\Local\Temp\RemoteMaster.v2.03build10.zip: Cannot open C:\Users\Brian\AppData\Local\Temp\Rar$DIa0.951\rmaster.err

What does this mean, and what should I do next?

Look at the last 3 letters on the file that you cannot rename
