RMIR error when click NEW under devices

[jeffs555]

Trying to update some very old controls to add a new soundbar device. Was able to add it fine on URC-8011 and URC-6011 which I don't really use, but my wife's favorite is an old Radio Shack 15-2102. With the Radio Shack, I can download and upload and move keys around, but when I click new under the Devices tab, nothing happens and I get an error in the RemoteMaster.err file. Running V207b2 on Windows 10, but have tried several older versions with same results.

Hopefully someone can help. Here is the error I get.

I think I have found what was causing the error. The RDF file for the Radio Shack 15-2102 is missing [DigitMaps] [Protocols] and [SetupCodes] sections. I copied these sections from the RDF for 15-2103 and it allows me to add the new soundbar device, and upload it to the remote without errors, but it doesn't work. It seems like the RDF for the 15-2102 was never fully developed or tested. Probably too much trouble to do it now for an old obsolete remote. Just wish it weren't my wife's favorite remote.

An incorrect [DigitMaps] or [Protocols] section could cause more problems than an empty one. The [SetupCodes] section is not being used in this RDF, so you can omit that. So I suggest you try adding a minimal [Protocols] section to the RDF, rather than the sections copied from the 15-2103. By this, I mean ending the RDF with

Code: Select all

[DigitMaps]

[Protocols]
0000

This is enough to get Devices > New to open, which is all that I am able to test. It should mean that when you create a new device upgrade, it will include the protocol code taken from protocols.ini and the hex codes for the digit functions (rather than using a digit map). These sections allow RMIR to omit protocols and digit functions that are built in to the remote, so making the upgrade smaller.

I don't think this suggestion should cause anything that works at present to stop working, but to be on the safe side, be sure to keep a .rmir file with your existing setup. You should have this since you say you can download and upload, and I presume you have checked that the existing setup works after these uploads.
