JP1 Remotes

[tonydix]

I was trying to connect a remote URC 11-7557 R00 to my computer and RM.
I am using Tommy's JP1.2/3 USB connector, a connection seems to occur and there is a fair amount of green and red led flashing on the connector
I get an error message saying that a suitable RDF file must be found see below. I have the latest RDF files.
How would I go about finding or creating such a file to make further progress.
Many thanks
Tony

RMIR Message:
No definition file could be found for this remote (10751075), so the data cannot be interpreted for you. Please verify that your RDF path (on the File menu) is pointing to the directory where your RDF files reside. If that is set correctly then you should download the most current RDF zip from the Tools area of the JP1 Files section to see if an RDF for your remote has been added.

Well, the 1.32 distribution of the RDFs contains two RDFs with signature 10751075. These are for the 7555 and 7556. Either will work (mostly) for your remote. So it seems likely that either you don't have the latest version of RDFs or RM is pointed to a different older set of RDFs.

[tonydix]

I definitely have the most uptodate RDF files. Another clue may be when I try to run RM IR I get a very long series of error messages starting with :-

Java.language.exception.Syntax error at line 172 in 10751075 (URC -7555 OFA5).rdf

there are many many error messages in this block but when I click ok at the bottom I get the select remote drop down box. Another ok produces a lot of action on the usb connector LED's which suggest a download is taking place but then nothing different appears on the RM IR screen, it just looks the same as if no download from the remote had taken place.
Any help much appreciated

Good, that clears it up. That RDF file has an error, which RMIR is telling you about.
Edit the file and place a blank line between the 333 and [SetupCodes] so that it looks like

[tonydix]

Thanks very much that seems to have solved that problem. A download from the remote now takes place.
I am a bit lost as to why I cannot save the downloaded version as a precaution. The save as option is greyed out.
Many thanks to 3FG for your help.

[3FG]

Is it grayed out if you do a File\New\RemoteImage? Or only if you download first?

Either way, look at the file rmaster.err. It has a lot of debugging information. Look near the bottom of the file.

Posted a corrected file into the RDF Development section: http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=file&file_id=10686

Nice timing.

I got a 7557 at Xmas and just got Tommy's interface last week.

I was getting the same errors.

I will test that updated RDF tonight

[id10t]

Ok,

so the new RDF appears to partially work.
No more java errors, but the General Tab did not initially display
any thing after the "Download from remote".
After checking the other tabs and going back I have 5 devices listed.

However, I can't save that data.

URC-7557-RAW1075.zip
with RAW save, and err file

[3FG]

So I'm confused. the rmaster.err file contains:

[mathdon]

[id10t]

[id10t]

"Paly" occurs in this map file:

#$EOH
default URC-60260
rect Stop 57,230 95,246
poly Paly 58,248 65,263 71,267 82,267 89,262 96,248 58,248 58,248
poly FF 117,219 117,242 106,256 100,260 97,257 100,245 100,227 117,219 117,219

I guess RMIR must parse all the files at start up.
I changed that Paly to Play and don't see that error message now.

but these two still occur
ERROR: ButtonMap 0 includes unknown keycode $30, Creating button!
ERROR: ButtonMap 0 includes unknown keycode $18, Creating button!

I might try getting rid of all RDFs except the 7555 one.

[id10t]

Next test:

Created a maps and rdf folder with only
10751075 (URC-7555 OFA5).rdf and
URC-7555 and 7556 maps

Pointed RM to those folders instead

Then I tried to load my RAW data from the 7557
(Don't have the remote and jp1 interface with me now)

Did anything ever come of this? I'm thinking of getting a 7557 to replace my 7555 since the print on the buttons is wearing out.
