need IR codes to control SA/Cisco/Comcast STB RNG 100

Need help adding new IR blaster codes to your ReplayTV unit, this is the place to ask. Please mention whether you are trying to program either (a) a 4000/5000 series unit, or (b) a 2000/3000 series unit (including Panasonic Showstoppers).

Hi again Rob, thanks for the work you've put in creating the C0015_OBJ file.

I think I was able to update the Replaytv disk, I used the following command:

extract_rtv5 -p1 -w ./sys2/OS/IRBlaster/C0015.OBJ C0015_OBJ

I can tell from a volmeter that selecting other, c0015 and testing with the replaytv setup, is putting out *something*, but it won't control that cisco rng100 stb.

I was trying to use a custom IR replacement cable that the inventor says others have used between a replaytv and a comcast stb (he sells it as a tivo to comcast stb cable on ebay). Next Tuesday I'll try an actual IR emitter if I can find one that works (I have no luck with those things). I usually try to test them with the ol' digital camera trick.

If you have any other thoughts on the obj file, or if I mucked up the extract command, please let me know.

Thanks again, Jon

P.S. I updated the harddrive using an external usb enclosure, but as extract seemed to be able to identify it, list the files and claim a successful update, I'm assuming that is as good as doing an internal ata connection.

The Robman wrote:If you're comfortable messing with the harddrive, the process doesn't sound that difficult to add a new OBJ code. You need to use the program extract_rtv, which I'm guessing that you've used before.

I just re-read the instructions and I see that it's easier to replace an existing OBJ file than it is to create a new one, so with that in mind, I have re-formatted the C1982_OBJ file as C0015_OBJ here:

So all you have to do is replace the C0015_OBJ file that is already in your Showstopper file system with the one that I created, then use C0015 to work your Cisco box.
