Thanks so much Robman.
Unfortunately this code seems to behave as the previous code.
Quick summary of the steps I went through just in case I made some mistake:
- I opened the provided txt file with the Remote Master;
- I used the Export Binary Upgrade feature to export the binary file into the SBAV folder;
- I launched the Sling player application and went into Slingbox Configuration, Audio/Video Set up, selected Miscellaneous Device, Other (not in the list), type in C2000 in the Alternative Code.
I can then see the message "Retrieving IR Key", I then press the Power test button and it says "the command power was sent......" but the Set Top Box can not be controlled. This is also confirmed when I try to control the stb using other features than the power.
The only slight doubt I have got is that, when I do the export with the Remote Master, the binary file is by default named "C2000_RV(SlingboxwithUEIRVChip).rdf.bin"; if however I try to force its naming to C2000_RV.bin via the Remote Master, for some reason the file name is changed to "C2000_RV_RV(SlingboxwithUEIRVChip).rdf.bin" instead.
To walk on the safe side, I have kept the two files in the SBAV folder and through Windows Explorer I have also duplicated one of them to be named "C2000_RV.bin".
I have executed the following steps with all the 3 files in the SBAV folder.
I really hope this is enough to give some more hints to what might have gone wrong..... |

I would first need to load the new upgrade into a remote and learn it using another remote, to verify that it's generating the correct signals. Then, as there's obviously something wrong with your installation of RM or the Slingbox RDFs, I would next need to load the upgrade into RM myself and try creating a bin file for it myself. Then finally, I would need to load the upgrade into my Slingbox to verify that it's accepted. As you can probably imagine, all of that is fairly time consuming and I don't have sufficient free time available to do all of that.
I'm laying out the step by steps in case anyone else has time available to help out. _________________ Rob

Robman
The steps that you highlighted triggered me to do some tests.
In particular, I replaced my rdf file BINRV (Slingbox with UEI RV chip) with the file BINPL (Slingbox with UEI PL chip) and all of a sudden I repeated the whole procedure and....it was magic in the night
I can now control the stb ok, I am still trying to figure out the reason why I can not use all of the learned features, but the key functions like +, -, numbers, etc. work fine.
I would really like to thank you robman, pottypigeon and all other contributors for their help and support |

I took a look at my upgrade this evening and I spotted an error. I was using a bit from the 4th byte as the toggle when I should have been using a bit from the 3rd byte.
I just re-loaded the KM file:

When you get a chance to test it, let me know if it works, so I'll know whether this request is closed or not. _________________ Rob
