Does anyone know if such a development effort is underway?
I've glanced at the source for the 2133 extender, and without some docs, the learning curve for extender writing seems steep. I'm sure I'm not the only person who'd volunteer to help.
I'd love to be able to speed up macros and place them on device buttons, as well as use buttons that are otherwise devoted to scrolling (a useless design).

AFAIK, you can place macros on the device buttons using JP1.
IIRC, the 2133 doesn't allow access to any of the non-standard buttons in any given device mode, even with the extender. I would assume that to be true of the 9960 as well (whch is a BIG limitation over any of the normal hard-button remotes) _________________ Mark |

Not on the 9960; I've tried. At least, I've tried using IR 3.21, with the macros tab. Is there another way to do it?

That would be a shame; the remote would really be charming if I could get the device buttons and buttons like "pvr vod" to do as I command...
I wish I new more, or could read more, about how this extender stuff worked, so that I could at least figure out what's possible, or at best contribute somehow. |
