Actually found the file! Take 3!

Both channel up and down works!!! Thanks. I will use this file going forward.

The actual remote does not have a play, stop, rewind or fast forward button, therefore when pressing these buttons on the slingplayer app, they now do nothing!

The mute button on the app does actually mute the sound but don't get the mute symbol ok the top left screen but works!

The functionality seems to be all working now but if i notice any abnormalities, I would let you know.

Thank you all and I am forever grateful.
Mr T.

Yes, same link, just like before.

I think you missed my point, I found a bunch of button codes that had not yet been accounted for, so I chose to program them to the transport buttons because those buttons were un-used. I was not implying that I thought those were the codes for the transport buttons. You found the CH+ code on the PLAY button, which was good, I just wanted to see if any of the other codes did anything. But I think you did actually confirm that none of the other new codes do anything.

The MUTE button in the app, is probably muting the sound through the Slingbox, rather than on the device. I was hoping that we'd find the code for the MUTE button itself, and I was hoping that it was on one of the transport buttons.

AHHHHHHHH! So thorough.

As it stands those buttons didn't do anything.

I go through all the buttons tomorrow to see if a mute comes up and any abnormalities.

Thanks again
Mr T.

Rob,

As it stands, it's is usable. But here's what the other buttons do that you assigned and the abnomalties:

What you have temporily assigned:
rewind = brings up day and time
pause = toggles between full frame, letterbox, Center Cutback
stop = toggles mute (icon appears on the top left of the screen)
skip forward = Info
Info = toggles subtules on/off

Other keys that does nothing:
fast forward
record
skip backwards

Keys that are greyed out:
play button = greyed out
last channel = grey out
all the colour buttons (Under guide red and green should allow you to change the time; and yellow and blue Change Day)

All the buttons are correct and working, so please don't move

Cool, so most of those codes do do something, I will move them to the right buttons. I had put SUBTITLE on the INFO button as I didn't have an INFO code before.

I am confused by this statement:
"all the colour buttons (Under guide red and green should allow you to change the time; and yellow and blue Change Day)" because you said that "rewind = brings up day and time". Should I move the code from the rewind button to all four colour buttons?

ok, I've moved the buttons to their logical buttons, when available. I've used custom buttons for the following:

Custom 10: Pic Size
Custom 11: Day/Time
Custom 12: Subtitle
Custom 13: Last Ch

(Note: the LAST_CH code is assigned to the Last_Ch button, but as you said it was grayed out, I copied it to one of the custom buttons).

I still have unidentified codes assigned to the 8 transport buttons as it sounds like we still have some undiscovered buttons, for at least the coloured buttons.

You're welcome. Let me know if you find the Colour buttons and any other buttons that are still missing.
