Slingbox PRO-HD / 500 - Double Arrow Keypress help needed

kaz911 · Post by **kaz911** » Sat Aug 17, 2013 1:04 am

Hi,

I could do with some help. I have made a setup file for my CableTV Box (Etisalat eVision Pace DPI79xx) - and everything works perfectly - apart from the arrow keys - they generate DOUBLE keypress - on both my PRO-HD and my 500.

I know "protocols.ini" is where to look - but I'm blank

on how to solve it.

This is a real common problem for sling box users. You'll need to modify your proticol .INI with some special non-repeating protocols found. Here.
https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... e_id=11416

Append these to your current protocol.INI file. Hopefully you'll find a non-repeating version of the protocol you need. If not we can create one for you.

Please make sure to post your bin and rdmu files when you complete them to help our community.

thanks - so I append it - and regenerate the BIN file? or do I have to change more things in RemoteMaster?

Once you fix protocols.INI, you need to select the the non-repeating version from the drop down in remote master.

We have some duplicate threads here with a matching conversation going on over at Place Shifting. I suggest we close that one and use this one,

For the experts: Turns out his protocol is MCE and that is not one of the ones we have tweaked as a non-repeating protocol. Can we do the usual byte change to fix it ?

Alan,
This sends a single frame. I'm not sure if the toggle behavior will be suitable--it alternates with each button press. Of course, we don't know what toggle behavior is needed, so this is worth a try.

Absolutely, many thanks.

kaz911: Please paste that into your PROTOCOLS.INI and see if it helps.

Thanks guys - and sorry for the confusion. If it can be any help - I'll upload the IRScope source/capture?

I'll try out the above right away.

Thanks - that worked (after removing the last line backslash

You guys are the best! Now i'll double check everything and then upload. I think it will be compatible with all recent Pace IP TV Boxes.

Files works - zip with all source and bin files uploaded in files section

thanks for all your help!

Good thanks. And I have updated the file in the Working Section that has all the non-repeating protocols.

Thanks for that. I'll update my protocols.INI file. I wonder why we don't have the sling non-repeating protocols in the mainstream INI file. Your upgrades require this section to open and your upgrades cover a huge assortment of oddball equipment.

I am very aware this is the 'JP1' forum, which is mainly aimed at JP1-compatible remotes, but because the Sling system uses the same chipsets we can piggy-back on this forum and utilise all the software tools and expertise (for which I am eternally grateful), when Sling Media aren't interested.

So the non-repeat tweak is normally only for us, not the other 99% of users on the forum. For that reason they probably should not be in the mainstream INI file ? Not sure.
