Since EZ-RC has closed down, JP1 is your only option to get these remotes upgrades. We will (eventually) support all remotes formerly supported by EZ-RC, including the Moster Revolution 200.

Ending raw download
OK, we're getting somewhere! The rmaster.err file is the clue. You are right that the remote data is being downloaded but not displayed. The reason it is not displaying is indeed something I changed between builds 10 and 11, entirely unrelated to the download process. I haven't got to the bottom of what is going on, as I've no more time at the moment, but I should be able to fix it tomorrow. Watch for further news .
Here is development build 17 of RMIR v2.04 which should fix the bug. On any upload or download of an XSight Touch/Color or similar remote, this build also tests whether Enhanced Power Management is disabled for that device. If it is not, it gives a message and the attempt terminates. The message draws attention to the link on the RMIR Help menu that takes you to this download of patches and info for disabling Enhanced Power Management. This is a new item on the Help menu, added in this build.
Hi. Newbie here. Just started with a Xsight touch 18 and using the most recent RMIR. I have downloaded and installed all of my devices included the Roku. I would like to use the Roku with the "stations" (Netflix, Amazon, etc) and their icons on the soft buttons, but cannot figure out how to do this. Is it possible?
There are a number of defined function codes for Roku that tune directly to some of the channels. Hulu, Netflix, Pandora, Amazon, and some others are in there.
The Roku upgrades in the files area usually have these already included as functions but they're not tied to buttons. All you have to do is include one of those upgrades, and bind those functions to one of the soft buttons.
I have a tendency to use the colored buttons (green for Amazon, Blue for Pandora, Red for netflix) since I really only have 4, but you could certainly do more as soft buttons

How do I get the icons for Netflix, etc to show up on the soft buttons? I can't figure out how to import icons via RMIR.

There is a check-box column that shows whether or not there is an icon associated with a function (or other feature). Double-click the check box to open the icon editor, which allows you to import new icons.

Got it! Great! Worked
Now another newbie question. I would like to put in discrete on and off codes for my Sharp TV. I have uploaded the RMDU files for Sharp TV's and they are not in there, but I have found them on remotecentral.com in Pronto format. How do I import the Pronto format into RMIR to be used on the Xsight?
Post the codes or a link to them here, and we will tell you what to add to your RDMU file.
Alternatively, go to the Learned tab, click New, pick Pronto format, paste the code. That will tell you the OBC to add to your Sharp device file for each new command. Then delete the new commands from the Learned tab (we were only using it to discover the OBCs).
EDIT: I looked at a few other Sharp upgrades, and it may not be quite as simple as above due to the use of combo protocols. The upgrade below may give you all the discretes you need:
I currently have an Acoustic Research 18 remote that I took out of a box only to find xsight is dead and can't update it. Thought was remotemaster would work but finding it challenging to get started. For example, the DVR devices on the remote doesn't list Magnavox. I have a Magnavox MDR865H remote. Any idea how I would add this device to the remote or update it so the Magnavox is a selectable device on the remote?
Orignal remote model doesn't mean much to us. Device model does. In any case, any Magnavox from our database roughly the same vintage as yours will work fine. So go through the wiki and give RM another try, or tell us where you're getting hung up.
Hi! With the EZ-RC website down permanently, I've switched over to Remote Master and had considerable success with my ARRX18G Xsight remote.
I do have one issue that's come up. I have both a Cable Box and Windows Media Center devices installed and working perfectly fine. What I wanted to do was to take my favorite channels that I selected for the Cable Box and create another profile that incorporates them using the Media Center device too. I've made two profiles, but the problem is the channel change device uses the same remote codes for both of them regardless of the values set in the Device/Power Macro settings. So, my WMC profile still uses the Cable Box codes to change the channel when I press the button, but it correctly retains the other settings like Power, Channel +/-, etc. It won't keep the settings for different channel change devices for the two profiles. Is there a way around this? Thank you!
