The Special Protocols tab appears only if the rdf you are using supports it. UNextended (i.e. "normal" rdf's usually do NOT support Special Functions so it will not appear. If you are using the correct EXTENDER rdf, the tab will appear. Ho did you create your extender IR file?

There has been a lot of talk about updating the help. I started on help a long time ago, and then lost interest. Then Graham included a link from IR so it really should be updated, especially since Graham made so many changes in IR since he's taken over.
The old IRHelp source code is posted, and I'd be glad to lend a hand.
I think help is best written when sorting out confusion.

I created it with ExtInstall.exe and it worked great. I think the problem arose because I downloaded 8910ex1_2.zip and used the rdf file in it when opening my current IR file for the extender. Evidently I created the extender configuration with a different rdf. Does this seem plausible? |

Just to prove I've learned something, I set up LKPs for some more keys and functions. I even shifted and xshifted them. I was struggling for a while, but the problem ended up being the learned codes, not the way I was setting up the LKPs. Once I finally got the right codes set up in RM, everything fell into place.
I've now got my 8910 set up to select the correct TV inputs when you choose a video device, I have LKPs to allow TV input selection from my cable device, and I have it set up so that SKPs make my channel guide page up/down and LKPs make the channel guide dates go + or -.
I also set up my new RCRP05B with shifted keys so I can do most of the same things I'm doing with the 8910. So now it is a battle between the remotes to see who stays on top. If the RCRP05B gets an extender, the 8910 may get "archived".  |
