Just FYI, I've moved all the posts related to getting learns from XML and LRZ files over here so we're not hijacking the original threads.

So, I just went to download the Auto Remote program that I was experimenting with earlier at work and now I'm getting a "not found" when I use the link below, where has the file gone?

Very basic, no error checking, but it works. Or were you thinking of actually building something into the standard tools ?

It's at https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... le_id=8719 with a test text file. I don't have my VB book handy and couldn't remember how to implement a file picker so at this stage you have to put the text file into the root folder at C:\. Tap 'Start' and the first one shows, with the code pasted into the clipboard. 'Next' steps through each command.

I uploaded lexuz.zip, it contains the {guid}.xml, webslingplayer.txt, and myRemote.lrz files that are all relevant to one another. Don't worry, I won't delete it.

We have three basic components; slingbox (streaming server), betaremote.slingbox.com (web server), and webslingplayer plug-in (software client).

Both the {guid}.xml and webslingplayer.txt file are appended as each button is taught. The difference is format and location. The webslingplayer.txt log is kept on the user's computer within their home directory for application log files. The {guid}.xml file is created on Sling Media's webserver at the url of https://secure.sling.com/irservices/res ... {guid}.xml

The myRemote.lrz file is created auxiliary of the learning process. Once the the process of learning the buttons is complete, the remote {guid} is then associated with the user's Sling Account. This gives the user the ability to manually export or import a myRemote.lrz file respective to each Slingbox registered to their Sling Account. During the export process it reads the {guid}.xml file and archives it using a proprietary format. We nicked named the format "Sling Media Compressed Binary" because of the "SMCB" magic numbers in file header.

When it comes down to creating the L9999 file that the Slingbox uses, it reads the {guid}.xml file and creates the file internally. We don't have direct access to the file, however, we know it exists from the line in the webslingplayer.txt log.

Sorry, I saw you had downloaded it so took it down. Back up now at https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... le_id=8730
