Greg addressed the 004B this morning, check out this thread.
Remember to provide feedback to let us know how the problem was solved and share your upgrades.

Tip: When creating an upgrade, always include ALL functions from the oem remote, even if you never plan on assigning them to a button. Complete function lists makes an upgrade more helpful to others.

That certainly seems to solve the save/reload corruption problem. Works fine now.

So I have updated the BIN files I produced at https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... le_id=8227 with the new version.

Be interested to know if it helps.

I will test it as soon as I get home from work (I am at GMT +3). I have a feeling it would be fine now :)

I am without words to tell you how I appreciate your swift help and kindness. You Rock!

Thanks again, and will update soon,

It works! I loaded Rob's KM file into RM and created my own button layout, tested and everything is fine. Alan, I didn't test your bin file specifically, but I am pretty sure it would also work. Do you want me to test it?

Ok, so now one of our files should be uploaded to Hifi-Remote for all that needs it.


Thanks a lot

If you have time it would set my mind at rest :-)

Alan, your file does not work correctly (as before). I had to correct the RDF per Rob's instructions to make my bin file work as expected. Did you modify '004B' to '004B:7' in [protocols] section? I also use the latest slingbox RDF you posted in the forum (thanks for that, too!).

No, I had just tweaked Protocols.ini using the changes suggested by Greg at https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10540. I'll make that change as well

Thanks

Actually, I did not modify protocols.ini at all (it will prevent RMDU corruption when loaded/saved). I modified the RDF, loaded Rob's KM file, corrected button layout and exported to bin.

As you say, it looks as though you need to make both corrections to get a 100% solution.
