Enhanced Power Management
XSight and Nevo remotes have issues maintaining a connection in Win 8.1/10, this is due to "Enhanced Power Management" (EPM). A registry edit is required to get these remotes working with RMIR, but the good news is, RMIR can do this registry fix for you.
When you first try downloading from your XSight/Nevo remote, if EPM has not been disabled, you will get the following message.
If you chose to fix this yourself, you should select the "Show XSight registry key" option from the "Advanced" menu.
To have RMIR fix it for you, you need to run RMIR as an administrator, which you do by right-clicking your RMIR shortcut and selecting "Run as administrator" from the pop-up.
Next, go ahead and try to download from the remote and the following pop-up will appear.
At this point, disconnect the remote from your computer and then re-connect it and go ahead and download using RMIR, this time it will work.
You will now notice that there is an extra option under the Advanced menu called "XSight operations" which gives you the following options:
- Verify XSight system files - this validates the content of all XSight system files and returns a description of any discrepancies
- Upload XSight system files - this uploads system files to the remote one at a time, selected from the files of the latest available firmware version. Note that this option is only available if the MCU firmware is already the latest version. THis option is intended to provide a means to restore accidentally corrupted or deleted files.
- Format and rebuild XSight file system - this formats the file system of the remote and restores the system files. The MCU firmware is not affected. The remote is left in a factory reset state.
