Nothing special about that pause. You can get rid of it. |

Ah, but what are you doing about the Pause that came with the RCA remote? That one has a different PID because UEI has claimed the standard pause pid as their own. Imagine that! |

I wish they would stop doing that! Really those just need to into the special protocols area...

Al,
I updated these - however I am assuming the protocol.ini updates are in sourceforge already. If not we can get that done too - just let me know.
Also - since you seem up on the SlingBox stuff - I would greatly appreciate it if you could look at the SlingBox RDFs in the RDF Development section and let me know what should be merged for the next release and what is junk...
Thanks!

But compared with all the copies of PROTOCOLS.INI I can find, mine has working and proven versions of XMP(Slingbox) and TDK. I think you need to confirm this with the experts who built the protocols.

Later: Sorry, just figured out what has been done in the RDF Files area. Now that the revised RDFs have been added to the 'Ready for next Release' area you/I can delete all of the Slingbox RDF files in the Development area as they are not relevant any more. |

So each rdf has to be downloaded individually? Is there not a zip containing all of them? Or a way to "select" multiple rdf's for download?
Although I am confident that the CONTENT of the rdf's is improved, I'm not sure that downloading them one at a time is a great improvement.
Or am I missing something obvious?
EDIT: I figured out that a "tarball" was a zip file of sorts. Sheesh! Anybody teach these SourceForge folks about clarity of communication? _________________ Beginners - Read this thread first

Sorry guys, I didn't think people had that many remotes to test! I can certainly make a zip of each if you want to look at a bunch of them.
But yeah,you should also be able to use the 'Download GNU Tarball' link - but if that is any issue just let me know.

It's not a question of how many remotes we have, its that we need to read .ir files from many remotes, as users with problems often need to provide the .ir file that is causing problems. The only safe thing is to have a complete set of the latest RDFs.

I call that an issue! We tell users that all compressed uploads must be zip files, not other compression methods. Please can we keep to our own rule for downloads. Also, I don't want to have to learn Linux-based techniques such as Tarball (it is from the Unix/Linux world, is it not?). This is part of the reason I was apprehensive about Subversion and the whole move to SourceForge.

Guys,
As I said before, when I release the RDFs it will be just as it has been in the past - there will be a zip file to download!
My intention for the beta test was for people to download RDFs for remotes that they owned to test them, so I did not think a zip file was needed.
I can generate one if you want. I will say though that almost all zip tools can open .tar.gz files.
Thanks,
xnappo |

While that may be true for after-market tools like 7zip and WinRar, etc the tools that most people have on their PCs (ie, WinZip or Windows Explorer) will only process zip files. Given that all of the after market tools have the ability to create zip files, there's really no need to complicate matters by using non-zip compressions for our files.
Perhaps you could create a zip of the beta RDFs and save it either in SF or here in our file section. _________________ Rob

Sure, I will do that tonight - not a big deal. Again I didn't think people would want to beta test more than a couple.
Though.. WinZip does work with .tar.gz files. Windows Explorer does not.
Thanks,

Though WinZip technically supports tar/gz files, the WinZip install defaults make it unusable for anything but text files due to the "smart" cr/lf translation imposed on ALL files, even binary. The option to turn that off, is not that easy to find. I work in a mixed Windows/Unix shop and we finally had to ban WinZip because stupid users couldn't follow directions and kept corrupting binary files extracted from tar/gz.
