I'm having an issue with my ARRX15G Xsight remote not storing the activities macros. If I add a macro to an activity, upload to the remote, and then download to the remote, the activity macro is gone. I am using Linux Mint, and I tried RMIR versions, 2.10.9 and 2.12.1 and it's not working with either version.

I never did get this to work. Today I installed the software in a different computer thinking that there was something wrong with my setup. When I double click the Activity Macro, the popup to enter the macro doesn't appear. This is what my "About RMIR" looks like.

Your files are smaller than they should be. I think something is interrupting the download or there is some corruption around 27BFF.

Try to upload/download this file and see if on the Raw Data tab it goes all the way to 393F0 if you scroll all the way down to the end.

Dave, I just extended his file to match the length of the file that you posted, using Notepad, but when I try loading that into RMIR, RMIR truncates it to the 27BF0 length.

Graham may have to take a look at this one. I'm not sure what's going on.

I tried that with your file, and it does go all the way to 393F0.

Thanks to both you and Robman for looking into it. Smile

In case we don't figure it out what's going on with your file, just take my file and modify it to suit. Delete the activities and macros before you delete any devices.

I find this to be interesting. I got a new TV for the living room, and moved the old living room TV into the bedroom. I was reprogramming both the living room and bedroom remotes to their respective TV's and started having this problem. Maybe I deleted the devices without deleting the activities first.

I will start over with backups from before I changed the TV's around, and let you know how it goes.

Sounds good. Sometimes if you don't do things in a certain order, you end up with orphan functions and weird things can happen. RMIR is fantastic, but it's not quite robust enough to protect us from every possible editing scenario. This sequence isn't documented anywhere, but I've just learned a few things to avoid over the years.

There is no fixed length for the data from an XSight. These remotes do not have an E2 area in the conventional sense, instead they have a file store containing a number of user files. What displays in the Raw Data tab is a construct, an "effective E2 area" created to fit these remotes into the model expected by RMIR. It consists of a concatenation of the the user files, preceded by a 4-byte header. Of those 4 bytes, 12 bits are a bitmap that tells RMIR which files are present and 20 bits are the total data length. What the Raw Data tab displays is this data with the length rounded up to the next 1kb, padded with FFs.

In his file, the header bytes are 6F 23 44 78. The length is formed from the high nibble of the 2nd byte, followed by the 4th byte and then the 3rd. This is 0x27844 which rounds to 0x27C00 as displayed.

If there was anything wrong with the files in that concatenation, RMIR would not be able to parse them. So I do not think there is anything wrong in the data. I will load his file into my XSight Touch and experiment with it.

This morning I loaded up one of my backup files, and added a new device (Sony TV). I then changed Macros, Activity Macros, and Group Assignments from the old Samsung TV to the new Sony TV, and everything works perfectly.

I can only assume that previously I deleted the Samsung TV device before I removed all references to it in my RMIR file.

Thanks to mdavej for pointing me in the right direction, and to The Robman and mathdon for taking the time to reply to my post. I'm very happy to have my remotes working properly again. Very Happy

I'm glad all is now well. I have done a bit more investigating, as I wanted to understand what was happening. As mdavej indicated, somehow the activity macros had got orphaned so the setup you were updating was corrupt.

I mentioned in my previous post that the data in the remote is stored as a set of files. There is a macro file, an activity file and so on. There is an activity macro for every activity, even if it is empty. When the data is stored into the files, the activity macro is stored in the macro file with a reference to it stored in the activity file. Somehow the reference was there but the macro was not. You could update the macro in RMIR but it never got stored in the macro file. I found that if I created a new activity, I could set an activity macro that got stored, but if I updated the macros of your existing activities then they were not stored. So it would have been possible to recover, even if you did not have an older backup, by deleting the activities in RMIR and creating new ones in their place. How the corruption occurred in the first place, though, must remain unknown.
