I have been trying to generate a remote code for the SOLO to operate the DM800 PVR. The standard virtual remote does not have the colour buttons active and you have to use the Custom control numbers via the menu option. I managed to generate a ".rmdu" file using Remote Master but i can not export it to a BIN file to allow it to be used in SlingPlayer. Does anyone have a code already defined for the full Dreambox remote functions?

Thanx for any assistance. :-)

Before you go too far down this track you should be aware that using a Custom Remote Control will still only enable you to access the colour keys via the Custom menu. You cannot change the design of the standard remote 'skin'.

And not sure what you mean by 'can not export it to a BIN file' ? All you do is select Advanced and Export Binary Upgrade.

Have you read my article on Custom Controls ? It is at http://www.slingcommunity.com/article/3 ... ingPlayer/ and should answer most of your questions.

I would also love the codes for DM800, have tried all the ones in the your custom library, but none of them gets all the functions of the 800 (and I believe 8000). Since they are the main products now, it would be great to get them going with the Slingbox. Too bad the sling support sucks so bad.

Have to say I like the custom remotes just as good as the one that looks like the real remote, so custom codes would rock!

Happy to work with you to improve the remote but I am going to need specific details. General statements don't give me enough information. So please detail EXACTLY works and what doesn't.
