JP1 Remotes

I'm using v1.00 Atlas extender on an Atlas in the living room, and when I use a "master power" macro I had set up, it all ways works. I can hit shift-power and it will go off each time I press it.

I have another Atlas in my bedroom with the latest extender and the same type of "master power" macro setup with shift-power. For some reason, when I do that macro, and do it again, it will just issue the cable power signal. If I do it again, it works. Whenever I use the macro, I have to either press the shift key twice, or press any button on the remote.

I've tried messing with the shift and xshift properties in the general tab in IR and changing the macro from shift to xshift. Nothing seems to get it to work like it does on the Atlas with the v1.00 extender.

Have I messed something up?

You might check that you don't have keymoves defined on shift+power for some device. I did and had similar issues. Also, upload your IR file and a link back here and we can take a look.

Ext v1.00 has lots of issues. Move on to v2.03.

Here is a better description of my problem:

On the Atlas that has v1.00 extender the shift-power "master power" macro that I made goes off with every pressing of shift power. Whereas, on the other Atlas that has v2.04 extender, I get this: Shift-Power--macro.....Shift-Power again--no macro.....Shift-Power again---macro.

When I say "no macro" the remote sends out the normal unshifted key, just the power key.

Is there a better way to use my macros besides having to use shift?

Also, I have this same problem with the 15-13x extender v1.01 on my 15-135 but if I use the non xshift version I get no problems.

Hi mattg568,

Did you intend to not have the POWER key defined on dev TV? Device 0555, does not have the power key defined.

CBL dev 1377 is not defined as a device, yet you have a series of keymoves for CBL dev 1377. CBL dev 1376 is defined as a device, as is 1877. Maybe a typo?

TV 0555 upgrade is for my Airtech tower fan. It just has a few signals mapped to, I think, keys 1-5. I use keymoves to plant them into my TV key's pip controls. PIP on/off turns the fan on/off, PIP swap toggles through 3 fan speeds, and PIP move toggles oscillating.

Those CBL entries in IR's devices are Atlas pre installed upgrades. CBL 1377 is bult into the Atlas's database.

There were ALOT of pre installed upgrades in the devices tab. I deleted all of them except the CBL entries.

Hi Matt, I looked at your setup but I was having trouble figuring out which remote you have. I'm assuming its the OCAP because when I use thqat rdf the keys make a little more sense.

The first thing I notes is that you have some very complicated use of the X_ commands. If this were my setup I'd drop all the X_ commands that you have on the device keys and use X_ commands on the Shift_Power key instead. That should make it work all the time.

X_commands? I don't see any of those in my .ir file.

If you guys have different versions of the extender, a lot of keys will be out of whack when you look at Matt's file. Those X_commands aren't really there.

What mdavej said is what I was thinking too. I'm using Atlas extender version 2.04 as well as the 2.04 Atlas RDF. My remote is the Atlas OCAP 1056 PVR remote. If I look at the Atlas that has v1.00 in it with the 2.04 RDF the first device macro looks really messed up, as in very much changed.

Remember all that I moved the pseudo-device selection commands (X_dev, etc) in the 2.0 release of the extender. the Phantom keys were moved as well.

The readme says that in order to use this extender version you MUST start from scratch on all of your keymoves and macros that use any of those keys.

Finally, you will note that the default value for the Xshift key is now $82 and not $02 which is what shipped in V1.00. No idea if this is catching you, but you should make a note of it.

I do believe that it is Xshift that is causing the problem for me. I don't get the same issue when I use the non-Xshift version of the 15-13x extender with my 15-135.

I deleted the built in upgrades before merging the IR file with the extender.

I think it has to do with the number of times you press the shift key.
