RMIR v3.2 Major new release!

[mathdon]

that folder seems to have accidentally been dropped starting with v3.2.13, if you download versions v3.2.0 and before, it's there

I have traced the omission to a change of computer used for building RMIR versions. I have fixed this in the new computer so JP1_Arduino.ino will now get included automatically in future RMIR builds. I will issue RMIR v3.2.16 as a new release shortly that will include this Arduino file.

[mathdon]

I have posted RMIR v3.2.16 as a new official release on SourceForge. It is the first release since v3.2.11, as builds 12 through 15 were for development purposes only.

This build addresses several issues that each occur in only special circumstances. These are:
- an issue that occurs in XSight Touch and related remotes when a device upgrade, and so corresponding device, is deleted;
- an issue that when using RMDU to load successive upgrades, it can give a message "Upgrade <none> has inconsistent command lengths";
- failure to open KM files with protocol Sony Combo (12/20), handled now by treating this protocol as a special case;
- an error in RDFs for remotes HUD0HUD0 and related files that causes spurious error messages when importing certain files from KM;
- a problem with editing protocol parameters after editing a device upgrade.

In addition it fixes the omission of JP1_Arduino.ino in the JP1EEPROMSupport folder of recent RMIR builds. It also includes rudimentary support for the Bluetooth OFA Advanced Phone App for URC7981 and related remotes, but as yet this does not allow the downloading or uploading of the data content of the remote.

It should also be noted that certain RMIR features do not work with the most recent versions of Java. The latest LTS (Long-Term Support) version is Java 25, the previous LTS version is Java 21. RMIR works correctly with Java 21 but some change between that and Java 25 has caused certain RMIR features to fail. What that change was is at present unknown, so it is strongly recommended that you use Java 21 or earlier.

Many thanks for all your effort, Graham!

Especially since this is an official release, can you please tag the code associated with this release when you have a moment? Thanks!

Nice to see that you are still active, Graham!!

Bug: Loading this file, selectng the "General" tab (the default, really), selecting row 5, and pressing "Edit". Nothing appears to happen, but in rmaster.err, we see that things went bellyup:

Tested both with Java 21 and Java 25.

I believe that this is relevant.

Just tried RMIR.v3.2.16 with jdk-21 and my 7880 bluetooth fails to connect. It finds the remote fine, but after hitting the Connect button the bottom of the window shows Connecting 5% ... then flashes back to Move/Macro: N/A Upgrade: N/A Leanred: N/A. Subsequent tries instantly fail with a quick flash across the bottom of the window. Excerpt from rmaster.err below if it helps.

@Radar73:
Apologies for this. I have found the cause and will post a corrected development build shortly.

@Barf:
I am indeed still active, but as there seemed (till now) little activity in the forum that needed my attention, my RMIR time recently has been spent working on the URC-7981, a remote that seems to differ greatly from all previous UEI remotes with 6-pin connectors. I will now turn my attention to the issue you have raised, which seems to be one of very long standing that has only just come to our (or at least, my) attention,

[mathdon]

I have posted development build RMIR v3.2.17 in the RMIR Development folder on SourceForge. I believe this fixes both the bugs reported in release build v3.2.16, but please test it. If it has fixed both bugs then I will convert it to a full release.

[HamburgerHelper1]

This is a problem i just noticed and it is not specific to RMIR v3.2.17 but other versions as well
when i have my remote downloaded into RMIR on the device tab i click open and open an upgrade that was made for the
ARRX15G XSight 15 such as this upgrade https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/app. ... e_id=27318
unfortunately it does not automatically convert to my remote.
If i run RMDU independently and open this upgrade then change it to my remote and save that upgrade i can then use it as an upgrade to my remote. Is this perhaps something that is to be expected with the ARRX15G XSight 15 upgrades ?

Done. Apologies for forgetting to do it when I posted the release.

Bluetooth working now on v3.2.17 ... great job. Appreciate all you do around here!

[mathdon]

I have posted RMIR v3.2.18 as a new official release on SourceForge. It is the first release since v3.2.16, as build 17 was for development purposes only.

This release fixes two issues that were found to be present with v3.2.16. It also fixes a bug in loading an XSight device upgrade into a non-XSight remote setup.
