Hello All

I have just dowbloaded v.321b and run it.

I tried to load a file created in v3.00 and I am getting the error response :

List index out of bounds (-1)

Any ideas?

Regards

Fred F.

PS. I have uploaded the file to the files section :

Hi Fred, nice to hear you back!

I can't believe that this file was created with v3.00 since it's against all the rules of the ET80ET80 (...).RDF. Try to create it again.

The problem is not with IR exactly, it's with the RDF for the Topline. I can see that the [DeviceTypes] list changed between version 3.10 and version 3.11, but I don't know who changed it or why.

The old [DeviceTypes] looks like this...

[DeviceTypes]
SAT = 0
TV = 0
VCR = 2
CD = 3
AMP = 4
TUNER = 4
MISC_AUDIO = 4
LASER = 5
VID_ACC = 0, $0008
DVD = 3, $0709
HOME_CT = 6, $060A
PHONO = 3, $030B
CABLE = 1, $000C
TAPE = 6, $070D
DAT = 6, $070E
AMP2 = 4, $0604
TUNER2 = 4, $0605

Whereas the new list looks like this...

[DeviceTypes]
SAT = 0
TV = 0
VCR = 2
CD = 3
@AMP = 4
@TUNER = 4
MISC_AUDIO = 4
TAPE = 6, $070D
VID_ACC = 0, $0008
CABLE = 1, $000C
PHONO = 3, $030B
AMP = 4, $0604
TUNER = 4, $0605
HOME_CT = 6, $060A
LASER = 5, $0707
DVD = 3, $0709
DAT = 6, $070E

If you replace this section in the current RDF you will be able to open your file without any problems, but I'd like to know why the was RDF changed. (I don't know which version is more correct)

On 11/2/2002 this is what it looked like:

On 2/2/2003 it looked like this:

So, somewhere between 11/2/02 and 2/2/03 it changed but I can't see or find why or by whom. Also, after 2/2/03 it changed a number of times. Hopefully someone remembers why they or someone else changed it. The one that is in the V1.06 RDF's is based on the one from the IR321b distribution.

Now I have 6 different versions. Ewe, I even had one around the June 2002 date you quoted but it is different. I think however, the version you posted is the most complete. Ewe, can I assume this RDF works for you since I don't have a way to test it other than to make sure IR and RM are happy with it. I will modify it for RM so it works there (actually already have.

I suspect however, it will still give Fred the error message so he may still have to do the mod that Rob suggested to make it work for him.

Rob, I also think you may have your old and new posted backwards so I am not sure which one will work for Fred.

I've tested Freds file with my RDF without time and ht support, that does the trick for Fred. I'll post this RDF temporarely in the RDF area of JP1.

Nils, to make your confusion perfectly, there is a third RDF for the Toplines with extender. I'll upload this too.

Hello All

Thanks for your replies.

I have been away for a few days, so have only just caught up with the correspondence.

Unfortunately some of the discussion is a bit 'above my head', so I wonder if someone would kindly just confirm the action I now need to take to put things right.

Kind regards and thanks again.

Fred F.

Hello All

Nils - I have followed your advice and it is now working fine.

Thanks to you all for your assistance.

Kind regards

Fred F.

PS. In case you are wondering why I have 30 Timed Macros, I am a keen radio fan, and use these to switch between the various networks we receive here in Europe via Satellite [NRP,WRN,RCI etc.] so that I have my own 'Personal Sation' which is playinging the programmes I like without having to change them manually.

Great Fred, glad to hear it is working for you.

Very Happy
