Am I right in assuming that RMIR upgrades do not work on MAXQ610 based remotes? At least they don't work for me. |

I don't see why they should not work. Can you post files (a .rmir file of the setup and a .rmdu file of the upgrade) that do not work so that I can test this? _________________ Graham |

Depends on the protocol. Protocols.ini may not have an entry for MAXQ for some. Needs to be taken case by case. |

Hi, Jim
I can see nothing wrong with your .rmir file. I don't have a Charter OCAP C4000 (URC-1060BC2) which is what your remote seems to be, but I have loaded your four .rmdu files into the nearest that I have, which is an Atlas 1056B03 and is also a MAXQ610 processor. All four upgrades seem to work exactly as expected, with the signals tested with a Widget and IRScope.
What is it that happens with your remote? I am at a loss to understand why the upgrades work with my Atlas and not with your Charter OCAP. _________________ Graham |

The remote itself appears to work, the correct device light flashes with the corresponding button but it's apparently sending the wrong signal.
These upgrades work on my Atlas 1056B01, RCRP05BR and OARUSB04G.
Does not work on the 1060BC3 or the URC-8820BC2-MOTO
Thanks |

It's all coming back to me now. When we first tried to support the JP2 8820, we never got it to load new protocols from RMIR and have them actually work. 3FG was helping me, but we eventually dropped it, mainly because the 8820 was so limited anyway and I thought it wasn't worth the effort. It was as if the remote had the protocol loaded in memory but wouldn't use it, for whatever reason. Some more testing and troubleshooting needs to be done.
3FG, do you remember the protocol issue on this remote? |

Jim,
Please learn a few of the non-working signals from the Charter remote to e.g. the RCRP05B. Then we can use the RMIR from the RCRP05B to see what signals the Charter is actually sending. That will help us to understand the problem.
ETA: Was cross-posting with mdavej. Actually I don't remember the issue at all. So Jim, I guess we would want learns from both remotes which aren't working. Also, we should compare RMIR files saved before uploading to the remotes to ones downloaded from the remotes after they have been disconnected and used briefly. |

All learns are from the 1060BC3
"CBL" learns are from WMC upgrade and should be MCE protocol
"AUD" learns are from the Emotiva Fusion upgrade
Actually I was wrong about the the other remote (8820BC2), the upgrades work, it just doesn't support External Functions/Keymoves. |

I've posted a revised RDF file which corrects what I hope is an error in describing the device button order. Please put this file in your RDF folder, and download from the remote. Then add your upgrades, and upload to the 1060BC3.
The learns on the RCRP05B strongly suggest that the 1060BC3 had reset itself, so that channel and volume lock were turned on, and the default setup codes seem to have been restored. So that caused me to look for errors in the RDF. I reviewed the previous threads on this remote, whcih show that nobody has so far gotten an upgrade to work, nor have we really verified that all of the button numbers in the RDF file are correct. I did remove 3 apparently spurious phantoms from the button list. |

You're right, and even with the new RDF it's still resetting the device codes and punch throughs.
It's totally understandable if you don't want to keep messing with this thing, but if you do I'll be glad to do what ever you need on my end, my weekend is free and clear. |

I'll be very happy to get to the bottom of this, but I think most of the effort will fall on you.
Please download JP2Sniffer. I want to use a lower level program than RMIR to read from the remote because RMIR depends on the RDF file, and the RDF file is likely wrong in some respects. Start with a 981 reset. On the JP2Sniffer High Level tab, click Download from E2. Use Write Segs to File to save the result. Next, disconnect the interface cable, and manually program the remote to have different setup codes. Let's go with Cable 01376, TV 10178, DVD 21061, and AUX 31815. Reconnect and download/write segs again, of course keeping track of the file names.
Next, using the 995 command, manually program macros on the A,B, C, and D buttons. You should be able to assign 15 buttons per macro, I think. Again keep track of which buttons are in each macro, and save this segment file. Now change over to RMIR, download from the remote, and save the resulting RMIR file.
I know this is a lot of work, but we need to make sure of each detail in order to verify the RDF file.
Thanks,
ETA: Next, in RMIR make a small upgrade (don't load an existing one) using the NEC1 executor. Just put OBC 0 through 9 to the digit buttons, save the RMIR file,and then up load to the remote. Disconnect the cable, press a couple of digit buttons, download again and save the RMIR file. Eventually we're going to find which step(s) cause the remote to reset. |

I'll get this done, will be late tonight CST or tomorrow.
Something like this for the macros?

TV PAUSE 9 LIVE
SETUP REC 0 VIDEO_SOURCE
POWER AUX Input DAY+
Vol+ INFO GUIDE DAY-

Ch- 2 Next_Page Sys_OnOff
LAST 3 MyDVR Replay
CBL #/Aspect UP PIP On/Off
DVD 4 DOWN PIP Swap
REW 5 LEFT PIP Move
PLAY 6 RIGHT PIP_Ch+

If you're willing to do them in any order, the following will make it easier to spot deviations from the existing RDF:
A/Yellow: TV, SETUP, POWER, VOL+, ,VOL-, CH+, CH-, LAST, CBL, DVD, REW, PLAY, FFWD, STOP
B/Blue: PAUSE, REC, AUX, INFO, EXIT, 1, 2, 3, #/Aspect, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
C/Red: 9, 0, Input, GUIDE, FAV, Prev_Page, Next_Page, MyDVR, UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, OK/SELECT, MENU
D/Green: LIVE, VIDEO_SOURCE, DAY+, DAY-, MUTE, OnDemand, Sys_OnOff, Replay, PIP On/Off, PIP Swap, PIP Move, PIP_Ch+, PIP_Ch-
But any order will work. |
