Repeating digits in a macro dropped

[Hichhiker]

Ok, I might have missed a few too many hours of sleep but I cannot figure this out. It works on my 6131's, and worked on my 2104 before extender upgrade. So I installed extender on 2104, and suddenly I have an issue.

The issue is that I have a macro that sets channel to 115 on a Sony TV. Unfortunately two 1's in a row result in a single 1 on TV. I run into this way back when and adding a few extra non-keys(DiscreteOn, x_TV, etc) to add a delay between the 1's fixed it. Not this time. For whatever reason I cannot get this to work. Is there a proper, reliable way to do this?

Thank you

Try a longer delay.

Maybe post the .ir file containing the macro to the diagnosis folder so someone may spot a problem.

Macros run MUCH faster with the extender, so it's not surprising you need to add more delay. You can use the Pause protocol to add a significant delay, or you can try the old VCR record trick (http://www.hifi-remote.com/ofa/faq.shtml#1.17)

BTW, if you are reading Rob, would it be possible to edit that FAQ so that it doesn't use square barckets for the section names. That makes it impossible to create links to specific sections of the document using BBCode, which uses square brackets as delimiters.

I've been meaning to do something about that old FAQ page for ages and I just did. I also fixed your link.

The VCR trick worked like a charm. Thank you very much.
