JP1 Remotes

Well, after all this time I finally figured it out. We all had a clue about 10 entries back:


I did notice that I get the red light to blink once when I press any of the device buttons, with the exception of the TV button. Is this a clue?

When I tried the suggestion:

I think the next step is ...

If you put the TV setup code into the PVR device button does it work the TV? I guess that would eliminate the TV upgrade device codes as being a problem. Maybe inserting the TV upgrade code is causing some corruption elsewhere? Can you try using a built-in setup code? Then try to verify the macro ...

At this point I don't know what to suggest except to ask if you're sure that the decodes are really Device=0 and Sub-Device=<blank>?

Did you by any chance save the 8011 file those learned signals were in? If not, can you re-learn a few signals and confirm the decode?

Perhaps uploading an IR ...

To start fresh, just load in 6131_extender1_.txt into IR and proceed to add your device upgrades and protocol upgrades.

OK. I opened the file 6131_extender1_.txt that came down with the 6131 extender zip file. When first loaded in IR, I see 5 devices, toadtog, LKP, etc. I notice that on the ...

Well at least I don't have to worry about that.

I guess at this point I'm going to live with it. At least my remote controls the volume of the TV. That is the most important thing. I can always walk over and turn on the set manually. I rarely access the TV menu settings so that won't be a great ...

Yes, that is what I intended. When I look at the learned commands in IR, I see

Protocol NEC
Device 0
SubDevice blank

I have loaded my upgrade file to TV. It is called Viewsonic N2010.

Regarding the TV/2011 name, I just sort ...

This is likely the thing causing problems, but an expert needs to confirm.
On the General tab and on the Devices tab, there's setup TV/2011 which i think you mentioned earlier is the subject TV.
Fixed bytes are 00 FF FF. I think that means in KM the setup code is 0000.

Edited: I just re-read p1 ...

I just downloaded your file. It is 2K, but the signature in RawData indicates 1K (PVR0PVx1) is that the file you built or is that the image from the remote?
Which remote eeprom size and which extender are we talking about?

Join the crowd. All I wanted to do was replace my PJ with a TV and this ...

Well I tried rebuilding the IR code by importing all the devices again. I ended up using the 4th choice for URC6131 under the "New" file pull down to create a new file. I added all the devices and entered the macros. However, now when I upload the code to the remote, I cannot get the red light to ...

If the extender activates properly, the LED should blink 4 times. Doers that happen when you first press Power?

Yes. My procedure has always been to upload new code, light blinks on remote, press power button, light blinks 4 times, ready to go.

I've never heard of having to press the PVR button ...

No. What does that do for me?

Would Toadtog, LKP, Pause, etc show up in IR if the extender was not present? Yes, but that doesn't mean it's running in the remote. The extender needs to be activated after ANY reset of the remote, which includes any upload or download done from IR.

OK. I guess I'm unclear on what you are asking ...

Is the extender really running?
If in doubt, remove a battery, put it back, then press PVR, then Power.
The issue described initially, that TV works only on the first press, makes me suspect no extender there.

If you have 1K 6131, use PVR0PVx1 file.

My 6131 is the old model.

Would Toadtog, LKP ...

I noticed that your TV device does not have menu, display, or select mapped. Doesn't that make it hard to control it?


I added the menu command and reloaded the device file

After adding the menu command, I tested the remote ...

Unless by some bizarre circumstance the TV power button didn't get mapped to the O_TV button set. Macros directly on device keys have always been tricky and perhaps the extender isn't doing them correctly. This extender has never been upgraded as far as I know, so it may have some bugs.

You could ...
