JP1 Remotes

I have turned on the USB port on my LG TV using the hack in another link here. So I decided to create an upgrade for my remote (Remote is an 8810 signature 6_806_80) with key moves for the FFW REW play keys etc.

These all work except the FFW key move which for some reason when in TV mode and FFW key is pressed the remote sends the VCR FFW code turning on my VCR.

I am not using the extender with this remote and can’t figure what I am doing wrong.

I have uploaded the file into the diagnostics area if somebody can have a look and tell me what I have done wrong.

One of your TV keymoves (EFC 217 - which matches REW on my LG TV) is on REW (rather than F.REW) - so that seems correct
Your other keymove (EFC 025 - which is FWD on my LG TV) is on F.FWD - not FWD - possibly you intended to put it on FWD ?

There's nothing in your upgrade or any keymove for TV FWD

Is that what's confusing you - I wasn't clear whether this was intentional ?

If this is the case, and you swapped the keys, then maybe the remote is punching through to VCR transport when it finds nothing on TV FWD.

The only other thing I could see is that your upgrade has fixed data 00 DF 00 whereas my LG TV uses 00 DF DF (NEC1, device 4, blank subdev, blank parm). -
That seemed a little odd to me - but when I alter one of my test remotes to match your fixed data it still controls the TV, so that's not your problem, probably.

edit: rewrote post to try to make more sense, and becaused I missed the F.FWD/FWD possibility initially

Thanks for that jimdunn . That appears to be exactly what I was doing wrong. I had F.FWD assinged instead of FWD. Amazing how quickly the simple things can be solved with a fresh pair of eyes. I spent over an hour trying to solve this the other night. It was the remote punching through to VCR transport that had me confused as each time I looked at the upgrade I failed to notice F.FWD instead of FWD. Thanks once again.

I wouldn't be embarrassed if I were you - I got caught up in the fixed data difference, and spent a good 1/2 hour trying to fathom that before I decided to try a test remote on my own LG TV -
it wasn't until that point I noticed you'd used F.FWD instead of FWD - easy to swap those 2.

Glad it worked out

Just for my own curiosity and further education - do you think you could post your KM/RM upgrade file for the 0179 device, so I can see where that difference in fixed data came from ?

Good Catch Jim, I had that open and had looked at it and totally missed it too, but now that I know the answer its clear as can be.

Hi Jim here is a link to the KM upgrade file.

I cant remember why I set the fixed data this way as I have been using this upgrade file with various remotes (URC 7560, URC 8910 etc) for several years and various LG TV's and it has worked on them all fine.

Thanks for checking back and posting that - it's the $00 in subdevice and parm that makes the fixed data different.
I've only ever used Device 4, blank subdevice and blank parm for my LG TVs - but so long as it controls the device I guess it's academic.

Thank you for satisfying my curiosity
