Need .rm or .bin from LIRC

Post by j0ksta »

Hello all,

I have been trying to get this to work for about a week now with no avail. I have an LIRC configuration that works well on a raspberry pi. I am trying to convert this to work on Slingbox. I have RemoteMaster and haven't had much luck mapping to the correct protocol settings. This is for an LG STB-3000 set-top box which uses the AKB73275673 remote. I believe it uses some configuration of the NEC protocol. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I also promise to stick around, confirm working configuration, and upload created files to the appropriate places.

Code: Select all

begin remote
    
    name    LG_NEC
    bits    16
    flags   SPACE_ENC|CONST_LENGTH
    eps     30
    aeps    100
    
    header          9056    4448
    one             601     1647
    zero            601     538
    ptrail          601
    repeat          9081    2199
    pre_data_bits   16
    pre_data        0x20DF
    gap             108229
    toggle_bit_mask 0x0

FWIW, I have tried the following already:

1. NEC1-f16 Official using the full codes starting all with 0x20DF
2. NEC1 (No Repeats) using device number 251 in order to make the Fixed Data 0x20DF
3. Every LG .rm and .bin file I could find on this site, hoping that at least 1 button would work and I could copy the protocol settings, couldn't find a single one
4. All Slingbox built-in remotes, only one of which responded to the arrows and power commands: LG 6710T00017E. But, since I can't get the bin file off of the slingbox, this doesn't help me discover the protocol settings.

You have shown great skills. There is just one piece of trivial JP1 knowledge that is missing. The Nec1 protocol executor was written with 0 an 1 reversed, so you need when you are looking at the Hex data, you should see the complement.

So this would be Nec1 4, otherwise known as Nec1 4, 251.

For the values of the functions, enter the second byte of hex in the hex column or calculate the decimal of the hex of the first byte and enter that decimal number in the OBC column.
Remember to provide feedback to let us know how the problem was solved and share your upgrades.

Tip: When creating an upgrade, always include ALL functions from the oem remote, even if you never plan on assigning them to a button. Complete function lists makes an upgrade more helpful to others.

Thank you so much! Everything worked when I changed the Device to 4. I will upload all of the files to the File Section, and will post the link here for future lurkers shortly.

Thanks for your efforts and for posting the upgrades. I'm glad this was a good learning exercise for you. But there was no need to go to all of that trouble. Your file is essentially identical to all our other LG TV files. In the future, you should first simply try an existing file for a different model of a similar vintage +/-10 years.

The main difference is the Pro:Centric portion. This includes the codes for things such as the PORTAL and SMART buttons, which only exist for Hospitality models of LG TVs and STBs.
