How to convert Winlirc codes to Slingbox 350 bin file?

[alanrichey]

Basically 0000-1999 are used for built in remotes (I happen to know S1123 is for a UK Sky box). 2000-2046 are free for user-designed remotes. Rob has always used 2000 and I have always used 2010 as our own personal 'handles'

Hello Vickyg2003 and alanrichey,

Everything works perfectly now!! Thanks to all of you for the excellent helps you provided to have this remote file completed Finally I can well use of my slingbox, thank you!!

By the way Vickyg2003, when you have time, can you advise me or post a short tutorial on how you converted my lirc codes to rmdu file (EFC, OBC, HEX, and etc)? This would be really helpful for me to learn and maybe others if future need to have slingbox remote other non-listed device, this then we will be able to create the rmdu files ourselves from lirc codes.

Again thanks for your great help~~

Working with LIRC files is kind of a challenge. Read Barf's post. He is familiar with lirc and has developed tools to cope with it. I just can't figure out how to use the tools, and have no idea how he got these to decode to Rc5 29.xxx codes.

I went about this the hardway. I used my protocol decode training.

When working with infrared signals, you are dealing with a bunch of timing data. I think that you'd be best of by reading my
Infrared signals for beginners document. It really gives you a clue on how to use the numbers that you read in a lirc file.

Thanks for capturing the winlirc file and subsequent effort to convert it to rmdu. One question, is the command complete? I mean if all the buttons on the original remote were captured? I asked because I am using a slingbox to remotely control my skykit sk11 and some commands, such as signal meter, fav(satellite), and one button used to send the "sort" command in the channel edit menu seem to be missing from the rmdu. Thanks.

Hello everyone,

I was able to obtained the Winlirc code for my Skykit SK11 Satellite tuner remote from an IR receiver through MIC input AudioCapture.dll plugin, but was wondering if it can convert to Slingbox custom bin file for my Slingbox 350? If anyone know how to do the conversion, please teach me. Below I attached the Winlirc cfg and raw codes. Hopefully I have captured the codes correctly able to do analysis.

Hi all,
I have been using the rmdu file in question to control my skykit sk11 for days and I have experienced insensitive response from the stb. When I enter multiple commands at once, such as menu->down->right->down->enter->xxxx, it will only get the first few commands but not all. It gets worst when I am switching channels by entering three numeric buttons, like 678, I have to pause after every input to make it work.

After playing around with the manual protocol, I was able to tweak the rmdu a bit to allow more sensitive response by changing the repeat to zero. Somehow it seems to do the job well.

here it is :

also bin for slingbox with sharp remote skin for skykit sk11:

Thanks chuliu. but I push SAME BUTTON very fast (like upupupup, no up wait up wait up) it occur x2 remote push in slingbox 500.

upupupup -> upupupup/upupupup
downdowndowndown -> downdowndowndown/downdowndowndown
upupup -> upupup/upupup
downdowndown -> downdowndown/downdowndown

chup, chdown, LEFT, RIGHT and all buttons also have same issue.
(num555 -> 55555)

559, 667 is safe.

ps: need sat signal button and it's wrote in vt7100hd rmdu.

[chuliu]

I have re-captured all the signals from skykit remote and make this rmdu:
https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... e_id=12535

It features hikari tv remote skin and complete buttons as the origianl remote.
