Beginners - PLEASE read this thread first - the split thread
These posts have been split from the original beginners thread:
http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1009
Since we end up making the same requests for most people who ask questions, maybe this should be a sticky post. Something like:
"Having trouble with upgraded device/macros/keymoves/IR.exe"
Please post your IR and KM/RM file in the Diagnosis Area for us to look at. We can usually spot the mistake in seconds, whereas it could take days with us asking you questions trying to guess which step you might have skipped.
PLUS....
1) PLEASE post a link to the files

Can we get RM-IR added to this post?
Here is the associated 'How Easy is It?'
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/c ... Easy_Is_It
[EDIT] Hmm- that Wiki is all Slingy - not good for new users. Is someone actively working on it? If not I can do a re-write based on the original KM-IR format.

There was a lot of talk about doing a Wiki, but AFAIK Earl (eferz) was the only one actively working on it, and he's a sling expert, hence tht slingy tone. I do like Earl's writing style and the way his grapics look. I haven't seen Earl around for a couple of months.xnappo wrote: Hmm- that Wiki is all Slingy - not good for new users.

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.

Not to state the obvious, but the wiki is a wiki and is therefore open to everyone to do with it what they will.  Vicky is correct that Earl is the only one to have actually done anything with it, which is why I've been considering deleting it.  For it to serve a purpose we would need lots of people to add lots of stuff to it.
I would like to see all existing help docs, including any that I have written, to get ported over to the wiki.

Okay - I just wanted to make sure I wasn't stepping on anyone's toes.The Robman wrote:Not to state the obvious, but the wiki is a wiki and is therefore open to everyone to do with it what they will.

The Wiki I pointed to is hosted at Sourceforge - I will work on something for the one here.
Thanks,

I know it is, it's just one of the many help docs scattered around this site and elsewhere that I would like to have copied and saved into one place (ie, here).

FYI - I got a good start on the RM-IR version today:
http://www.hifi-remote.com/wiki/index.p ... IR_Version
I will finish up tonight or tomorrow - but please take a look at what I did so far and critique(or even better, edit)

How are files accessed for download?
I'm confused.  Several links in the forum, like the one for IR.EXE, don't lead to the actual downloadable file.  In this case, IR.EXE opens a page with a web site link.  This shows a message with link to IR.exe, that takes one to another page with a link to a web site, "Click Here", then it takes you back to the previous page.  What's going on?
