MCE HTPC codes on Atlas (JP1.2) remote

I just purchased a MCE remote control for my PC, since I'm finally moving into the 20th century. (Previously I was using an irman.)

I'd like to use the existing device upgrade with my Atlas remote control (JP1.2), however, when I use RemoteMaster 1.77, I get this message:
The selected protocol "Manual Settings" (01 2A) is not compatible with the selected remote. This upgrade will NOT function correctly. Please choose a different protocol.

I know that the device upgrade works because I could get it to work successfully with my URC8910 (JP1).

I do have the remote control so I could manually learn everything and create my own upgrade, but I was wondering if somebody already had an upgrade that I can use.

Thanks,
Joe

Edit: I forgot to add, I'm using IR7.00beta3, and I'm using the Atlas RDF file from here:

You can change the protocol to "MCE" and the device to 4, and OEM2 to 15, and it should work for JP1.2 remotes.

Thank you, that works, RemoteMaster will at least deal with it.

Now I just have to figure out why IR won't take it ("The Fav/Scan list contains too many entries. The list will be truncated").

The "too many entries" error most likely indicates a keymove format problem. The new format has the length in a different spot so it could be misinterpreting the length.

I just tried adding the following test MCE device upgrade and IR7 accepted it.

Code: Select all

Upgrade code 0 = 0C 57 (Cable/1111) (RM v1.76)
 2A 00 01 E2 80 0F 04
End
