JP1 Remotes

I'm using Java 1.4.1 on OS X 10.2.8 and am trying to use RM. It starts up and runs fine. I can import a rdmu file just fine. However, any KM file I attempt to import shows no functions, ie it seems like the import didn't work.

You might see that when RM's protocols.ini doesn't contain the protocol settings. You can check the rmaster.err file to see if it offers any clues.

Which KM upgrade are you trying to import? It could be that the it uses a protocol that RM doesn't yet support.

I got these from the Yahoo files section, they're ones I use in my remote: Onkyo_TX-SR601_RCVR-1135.txt ReplayTV-8811.txt

Here's a snippet of the file, I do have the whole thing saved just in case it'd be helpful. This is the .err file from only starting RM, trying to import, clicking the tab to see the remote and quitting:

DeviceUpgrade.importFile()

That Onkyo upgrade uses the Device Combiner protocol, which is not supported by RM. It should handle this situation more gracefully, but unfortunately you won't be able to use that upgrade. It will be some time before RM supports Device Combiner.

The Replay upgrade use the "Replay TV (Advanced)" protocol, which
is not YET supported by RM. This one might be added soon, though.

I've got a fix that will at least tell the user that the protocol isn't found.
That will be in the next release. I can't make a release today because SourceForge's CVS services are down for a scheduled upgrade.

In the meantime, here's the section to put in your protocols.ini that will enable support for the ReplayTV (Advanced). Just replace the section that is currently commented out with this:

Assuming I did the right thing and deleted all the trailing blanks in the snippet you've provided, I now get this error when I try to import the replay KM file:

Detected 1 cmdParms
Protocol.Protocol(ReplayTV (Advanced)) got DeviceTranslator property.
TranslatorFactory couldn't create an instance of com.hifiremote.jp1.

Just download this version of protocols.ini

Did that, now I get this error:
Parsing line "Phantom1=$3D, Phantom2=$3E, Phantom3=$3F, Phantom4=$40"
Parsing button "Phantom1=$3D"
Parsing button "Phantom2=$3E"
Parsing button "Phantom3=$3F"
Parsing button "Phantom4=$40"
Parsing line ""
java.lang.NullPointerException

at com.hifiremote.jp1.KeyMapMaster.importFile(KeyMapMaster.java:858)

So I looked at the .txt file and deleted the trailing return, since I saw the 'parsing line ""' right before the error.

Doing that generated this error instead:
Got a multi-model remote to import: URC-881x / 801x / 601x
Added subName URC-881x
Added subName 801x
Added subName 601x

But I think this means I'm making progress Wink

I've zipped my version of protocols.ini into protocols.zip to make sure we don't have any problems with spaces and returns getting inserted.

I hope that takes care of it.
