JP1 Remotes

I am a Newbie. I stumbled into all this JP! stuff on a yahoo search. Robman, thanks for all the info, but

I bought the cable, downloaded all the files and your jp1 - just how easy is it. When I uploaded my original remote info into IR, there was some key move stuff and macro stuff. I downloaded your sa8000 upgrade file and with km pasted it into the IR. There was no macro or key move stuff after doing this so I aborted the process.

All I really want to do is add a 30-second skip, is there a way to do it by just changing something in my orignal data in IR? Thanks

PS this is my wife's name I just created an account for. I created an account under my name a week ago and when I went to log in, it said I was inactive and the contact the administrator (which I am guessing is you) but I saw no link to do it. Any reason why I might have been deactivated or how to get back in under my name?

You would not have been deactivated, my guess is that you never responded to the activation email (probably because it ended up in your junk folder). Send me an email telling me your ID and I'll re-activate you.

Sorry, I don't know anything about the SA8000

I appreciate your response back. Being a Newbie, please bear with me.

I have an "Atlas DVR 5" remote. I downloaded my remote data into IR and tried to add an EFC code 049 (which many have said is the way to add the 30-second skip to my remote) and then upload it back into my remote. It did not work. Somebody since told me that Scientfic Atlanta did an update to their 8000 DVR box and voided the 049 capability. I do not know if this is true or I just did my upgrade wrong but either way it still does not 30-second skip.

Can you help me with a macro? I posted the question on the yahoo explorer 8000 forum and got this response from a gentleman there:

I don't have an Atlas DVR 5 to play with, so I can't help you too
much. Ideally you would want to port over an "extender" from
another remote, but that would be going from newbie to JP1 god a
little too quickly I think. All my macros do is ffwd-ffwd-ffwd-
(pause)-play. The extender has the advantage that the 3 ffwds are
sent quickly and that it contains a "pause" protocol.

Without an extender what you want to do is either get a pause
protocol that works with that remote (I would suggest asking over at
www.hifi-remote.com/forum) or find some function that will act as a
pause.

Can you help with a macro?

Thanks

When I downloaded my remote to IR, it found it (calling it the Atlas DVR 5 ) and giving it a cbl setup code of 1187 (I think that is, I am at work, the 1187 is from memory)

I have an atlas dvr/pvr 5 remote. I am trying to add a 30-second skip to it.

I went to the macros tab in IR and added a macro to my "fav" key

ffw, ffw, ffw, play

I downloaded it to my remote and it works, but there is no real skip. It just goes from ffw x 3 to play right away. Is there a way I can get it to stay on ffw x 3 for a little bit before it goes to play?

thx

I inserted "mute" "mute" between the last ffw and play and it did work (it ffw'd a little bit before going to play, I guess while it went mute on and mute back off again) but surely there is a better way to do this, ?

Rob,

It is a scientific atlantic 8000 (TW in Houston). The remote they gave us is the atlas dvr/pvr 5. In another thread, Mark confirmed that they (big brother?) disabled the skip ability with a simple efc code. that is why I am trying to do it with a macr0.

PS he also told me that the current version of IR will not support key move stuff for the atlas 5 l(much like the URC 6131) but it is bing worked on.

Mike

I imported that file you suggested into KM.

I am a Newbie so please pardon the questions (I have read much of the faq's and how-to's and still do not get it 100%)

Your KM upgrade had

remote = URC-881x / 801x / 601x
device type = TV
setup code = 1104

my remote is an atlas dvr/PVR 5-device according to what IR says when I download my remote into IR. In KM, my options from the drop-down menu are Atlas 4-device and atlas dvr. Am I screwed or do I just pick one of those?

Why is the device type = TV (I just do not get it, what is my device type, I would have put PVR)

Is my setup code 1107 (I am at my office instead of home but that is what I think I remember IR saying on the remote download)

Can I just paste the protocol code, device upgrade code and key move code from the KM sheet directly into the same tabs in IR and then upload it to my remote (you said that the current version of IR does not support the keymove of my atlas 5, so is this all for naught?)

Thanks for your patience, I am only using the Newbie forum so I hope the flamming from others will be kept to a minimun?

I see you have a new IR file out there with the RDF for an atlas DVR/PVR 5-devic in the folder. I also checked the latest RDF folder, the atlas dvr/pvr 5-device remote is in there as well.

I have a atlas 5 remote with my Scientific atlantic 8000 (TW in Houston) and am trying to get some kind of 30-second skip to work. I just downloaded a file from the special folder with a pause protocol to insert into a macro to make my own skip (all that info is in one of the "Carmen" user threads at the top of the newbie forum).

Should I hold off everything I am now doing or can I use your new stuff, ?

Thanks (and PS why is the RDF for the atlas in your IR folder where no other RDF files are?)

RObman, I downloaded your new IR file (the 6.0 beta version) and tried to use it. I have an atlas dvr/pfr 5- device (which the folder has an RDF file for ) so I wanted to use it. On the check interface, it says "priveleged instruction", on the download from remot, same thing.

Can we use this yet? Thanks

I downloaded a puase protocol KM upgrade "puase_protocol_example_for_KM" from the special folder section.

The author says it is to help with a 30-second skip. I loaded the file into KM and imprted the protocol, key move and device updgrade to IR. the author says to insert the "TV phantom 1" or "DVD phantom 3" buttons into the macro where you want the pause (I built a macro that goes "ffw, ffw, ffw, play). I went to insert tv pahntom 1 into my macro (between the last ffw and the play) but there was not botton in the drop down list to do so.

Any help out there with what I did wrong?
