Slingbox PRO - IR for Amino 400-020 STB

Post by NYR738 »

I have a UK Slingbox PRO, and have been trying to get it to control an Amino Mood 400-020 STB, but with no luck.
Can anyone help me out, where do I get the BIN files to put in the Slingbox or what is the way to make this work.

I'm unware of the IR blaster version - (serial no starts with A200.)

Have you tried the Amino Remote in the File Section ?

I have looked in the file section and found a .BIN for a Amino 110 was that the one you where thinking of, is so I have tried it and it does not work - I just get the "Custom Remote code not found".

I also had a read through you guide, and have not been able to find a .BIN that works in any of the place you link to. So now I guess I have to decide if I want to try and make my own (have never tried anything like that before) or find an other STB that is supported by SlingBox. So my next question is, I might be able to change to a Sagem STB, it should be the model ITD 84 HD, and I can see that you have uploaded a .BIN for a Sagem ITAD 84, is that the same model or a different model that might not be supported via your .BIN.

Thank you for your help so far....

OK, the fact you get the Custom Code not found is because the file contains only the USA version, not the UK version. I have built a complete package at https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... le_id=7318

Give that a try

Thank you for your effort Alan, I'm now away from the Slingbox for the next 7 days or so (working) but I will give it a try when I get back, and send feedback as soon as I can...

Don't forget you can configure the video sources remotely, you don't have to be with the Slingbox :-)

I have now tried to use the .bin file that you mentioned, I don't get the "code not found" anymore, but the Slingbox is still not able to control the Amino STB. I have done the digital camera test, and the IR blaster is transmitting a signal/light. I have even taken the STB apart to verify the position of the IR sensor to make sure that the blaster will hit it. What else can I try to make this work?? - how precise does the IR blaster position have to be, I have it set top and bottom on the STB about 1 inch from the IR sensor, does that make a difference.
I hope someone can help me out... Nikolaj

I've just installed this device onto my Harmony Universal Remote and tried t learn the codes from that. I get a very odd result, but there is enough to be worth trying. I've uploaded it at https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... le_id=7387

Now only a few keys work, (1,4,5,8,9, Power, Ch+, Arrow Right..) but if they work we can probably figure out the others. Give it a try and let me know the result.

Latest update: I have been helped by 'mathdon' on this and now have a much better version of the Custom Remote.

I have uploaded it at https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... le_id=7395

Please give it a try and let me know if it works.
