wnewell,

So you won't see the keymoves in RMIR, only in RM. But they really are there. Greg's still trying to determine why they don't seem to function in this case. |

The key moves are probably there, they just aren't shown on the key move tab. RMIR considers them part of the device upgrade, and shows them in the device upgrade. This is a significant difference from IR.
RMIR determines that a key move is part of a device upgrade when:
- The device type and setup code of the key move matches the device type and setup code of the device key the key move is bound to.
- There is an installed device upgrade of that device type and setup code
The fact that the key move is not shown on the key move tab does NOT mean that the key move got lost or won't be installed or active when you upload to your remote.

| Thanks for clarification. I was going to try and program codes on the macro, fav, and learning keys of a urc-10820. However, I'm now looking at the RCRP05B remote to replace it with. Lots more programmable buttons on it. I assume I can use rmir with it. It's a JP1.3 remote. |

I've got a handle on the issue. The key moves are there, and they are being written to the remote, it's just that one byte (of the 7 bytes) in each key move has the wrong value. Of course this means that neither the remote not IR recognize them as key moves.
I've already coded a fix, now it's just a matter of making a release. I plan to included the new jp12serial library in this release, along with the fix for shuffled function command codes when switching protocols and there are named functions without command codes.

I already have that remote but have only done very rudimentary testing with it. I have already grabbed an original flash memory image, so now I can freely mess it up. 
I may fire up RMIR with that remote tonight. If I do, I'll post here to let you know if it works OK. The RDF file for it was preliminary last time I grabbed it, so I'll have to figure out if there's anything newer since then.
On a related note, my Slackware 13.0 DVD arrived today too, so forgive me if I'm slightly distracted.

Excellent! Thanks for your speedy response and expertise, Greg! Looking forward to the new version. I'm also glad to hear you'll be including the new serial library. If you run into any issues with that or there's anything I can assist with in any way or any problems crop up after it's released, don't hesitate to let me know and I'll do my best to assist.
Thanks again!

'wnewell' -- I'm happy to report that I've successfully tested your self-compiled 64-bit 'libjp12serial.so' library under my new Slackware 13.0 64-bit installation.
I successfully downloaded from my RS 15-135 and my RCA RCRP05B remotes using RMIR. The 'Help' -> 'About' page confirms that the 'jp12serial.so' library is the new version ('0.14') and the "os.arch" field shows "amd64", of course.
I didn't get too fancy with my testing. That will have to wait for another day because I spent too much time dealing with the new KDE 4.x (4.2.4 to be precise), which I absolutely hate! 
On the up side, I don't see any problems so far with running RMIR under a 64-bit Linux platform with the new serial library code.
More tests to follow. If there's anything specific you'd like for me to try with the RCA RCRP05B remote, don't hesitate to ask.

| Glad it worked. I don't use KDE. From 2000 til about a month ago I used IceWM exclusively, but switched to Gnome. It seems about as fast and has better support. All I;m going to do with the rcrp05b is load a custom device upgrade into it with a function for every key that can be programmed on it. From the rdf, that looks like about 54 or 55 I hope. Well, that and several other upgrades for different devices. MythTV has lots of Jump points and other features and 54 buttons will get more of them on the remote. The 10820 has worked great, but every now and then I wish I had more direct jump buttons and this should give me about 8 more. |

I used KDE for many years (8?) and Motif's 'mwm' before that. But KDE4.x is so bad compared to the 3.5 series (the Plasma thing actually crashed on me -- I've never had anything like that happen in 3.5.x!) that I'll probably switch to Xfce. It's lighter, cleaner, and noticeably faster and I can still run the KDE apps like Konqueror and Konsole. I've heard good things about IceWM but never used it. (The GNOME desktop is no longer an option on Slackware unless I install GnomeSlackBuild or similar, which I may do.)

Given that I've been able to download from it, I don't expect it will be too problematic to do what you want. Later tonight, I'll try to install and test a device upgrade on it and if I have any problem, I'll let you know.

Greg,
This is OT, but I'm looking for the list of button aliases you use in RM for auto assignment. You know, the text that goes after the button name delimited by a colon in the RDF? You pointed me to another post at one time, but I can't seem to find it. I know they're just common sense names, but I have no common sense 
Thanks |

OK, gave 1.97 a go. Some problems found.
First the zip file has 2 amd-64 directories. I deleted the first one. I assume the first wasn't supposed to be there?
Can't enter TV default device code of 2256 in General Device tabs. Since that's the code for my Proscan TV and now there's lots of codes up to 24xx in the code table, this is probably a problem.
Don't know if it's a problem or not, but the keymoves still didn't show up in the keymoves tab. nor did it reduce the amount of memory left at the bottom of the screen.
I didn't try an upload from rmir since I couldn't select the TV default code of 2256. |
