Posted: Mon Oct 02, 2017 9:32 pm Post subject: CBL Channel Control Lock |
|
|
I am working with device upgrades for an Atlas OCAP 1056 Silver. I assigned a DVD function to the OK/Select Button, when checking the upgrade found that pressing this button, the remote sent the CBL function instead of the DVD function. Turning off the CBL Channel Control Lock solved the issue with the "wrong" function being seny. I want to use CBL Channel Control Lock. Is my only option to reassign the DVD function to a different button? Can the RDF be edited to remove the OK/Select Button from CBL Channel Lock?
TIA |

Never edit an RDF. The restrictions, etc that might be included in an RDF and not there because we want to enforce them, they're there because the remote enforces them. If we discover how to override something that the remote doesn't want to let us do, the RDF will let you do it.
Not really familiar with this particular remote, but you can probably do what you want with a keymove. _________________ Rob

Rob, the remote manual says the channel control keys are the digit keys, the ch+, ch-, and last keys, The Select/OK key is not mentioned. Is it possible the RDF file is wrong? Also I have a learned Tab and this is not a learning remote. I am suspicious of the RDF file. |

Many "universal" cable remotes lock the okay/select to cable mode. That behavior can usually be overridden by a keymove. Most users wouldn't know that so they get the mistaken opinion that "universal remotes can never do everything". I think that flaw is the reason universal remotes are not as popular as they should be here in the States. _________________ 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.

The RDF doesn't have the power to decide which buttons are included in the lock. If you think you can fix things by editing the RDF, go right ahead, but just remember you were warned. _________________ Rob

Thanks Rob and Vicky. I'm not going to edit RDF unless an expert gives guidance. My suspicion of RDF is based on the OK/Select button channel lock (seems odd to me but Vicky says not uncommon), Learning tab and learning memory values on non-learning remote, and what appears to be spurious text on line 14 of settings (other settings panel).
It has been a long time since I did a keymove and the keymove tab looks intimidating, but i'll play with it. Based on your expert advice, i assume the remote software gives priority to keymoves. |

I was able to create a keymove and now the remote blinks the dvd device light when i press thee OK/Select button, but the dvd player doesn't react. I learned that signal and it came back with **Multiple** in the protocol field and rest blanks. |

It must be cheaper to just use a bigger eeprom or flash memory on a non learning remote than to have a team of programmers reprogram the firmware on a non learning variety. Whatever it is cool for us. The learning memory can still store learns for sending. Or it can be converted to keymove macro area by an extender.

LKM L K M. LKM. L K M. LKM.
L - Learning trumps keymoves
K - Keymoves trump macros
M - Macros trump setup
That holds true everywhere except unclemilties extenders where i think he uses which ever he encounters first keymoves or macros in the E2 area. _________________ Remember to provide feedback to let us know how the problem was solved and share your upgrades.
