Modify a Pronto hex code to remove long press repeat

Post by JPNYC »

I want to modify a Pronto hex code so it doesn't repeat with a long press. According to this article https://www.remotecentral.com/features/irdisp2.htm I need to remove the second burst pair.

This is the Apple TV Home button/Control Center. It is a better Home for me than the other buttons marked Home, I just want to remove the long press Control Center.

0000 006C 0022 0002 015B 00AD 0016 0041 0016 0016 0016 0041 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0041 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0041 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 05CB 015B 0057 0016 0E6C

So the 0002 should be the number of pairs in burst pair #2. I removed 0057 0016 from the code but the modify code is not recognized by ATV.

Can so one please help me remove the long press and explain what I am misunderstanding.

Thanks

Welcome to our forum!

The Pronto Hex format is described here. The third and forth number denote the number of pairs in the intro and repeat sequence respectively. A pair consists of two numbers, as the name suggests. So, to achieve the desired outcome, you change "0002" to "0000", and delete the last four (not two) numbers.


Cf. this excercise.
