Help with my remote (iplus Espana Canal Plus)

Hi there!
Thanks so much for your great resources.
I've got a Slingbox 500 connected to Canal+ Spain. I searched the forum and downloaded the iPlus Espana Canal Plus binary files (PL and RV) and the file with an remade extension (not sure what this one is for).
I uploaded the PL file through Safari on my Mac (since to watch TV I need to go through Safari) and all works, but....there are functions from the original remote (like the key to change language) that is not present on the default remote.
I know it is possible to right click on the remote itself and change to custom, and apparently other keys will appear, but here are my questions/issues:

- When right clicking on my mac over the remote on screen nothing happens, I do not have a PC, any way to solve that?
- Is there a Canal+ (plus Espana Canal Plus) skin available?
- Is it possible to get access to the custom keys using the Ipad app?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Yes, not sure and No

There is a bug in the Mac system that stops the extra buttons appearing. Sling have known about it for years but have not bothered fixing it.

Not sure about the skin, you would have to install all the Canal options and see if any of them show the right image (even if it doesn't operate the box)

What I can do for you is map any of the Custom functions onto other buttons on the image, or we can use a completely different image (not Canal) that has lots of spare buttons.

Too bad that Mac users are left aside...
It would be great if you could do that for me, here is the original canal+ remote.

The key I am missing in the version I use (downloaded from this site) is the "+", which allows me to change language.

Thanks soon much!!

OK, I'm not sure where I got these codes from as I cannot find this model on the Logitech Harmony IR Database where I normally get them. And I can see no + function defined.

The problem is that it might already be one of the Custom buttons that you cannot access, so as a first step try installing this BIN file. The ONLY correct button is the Power button. The other buttons send the codes that were associated with the Custom buttons and a few more unused codes.

Do any of them trigger the + function ?

It did not work.
The remote files that I use and work can be found here (both bin files are there, I only used the PL one):

Does it help?

It would be great if you could asign the + button I need into the + of the page section. Not sure if that is possible.

Thanks again!!

No point in sending me the files, I wrote them in the first place.

When you say "did not work" what EXACTLY do you mean ?

Sorry, of course you did them!
I tried all the keys of the new file you sent and nothing triggered the "+"

Thanks a lot again

OK, here are 2 more. Between the 4 files we have covered all 128 possible codes.
