RCRP05B, Windows Media Center (DVD code 1972) and star key

I'm using my RCRP05B with Media Center in Windows 7. All essential buttons, but one, are included in the built-in DVD code 1972. However, there is one key missing from the 1972 code set...the key is marked on the original WMC remote as *, but enters the "." for digital subchannels. I want to assign the dash key on the remote for this function. I've tried learning the button, and can use it after learning it, but when I then try to download from the remote using IR, I get an error trying to read the memory.

I know there has to be an EFC for this button, especially since the rest of the WMC functions work just fine...any suggestions?

I looked at an upgrade from the file section and found the function

star EFC 170 OBC 29
# EFC 178 OBC 28

However this upgrade uses a different executor than the built in 1972 so these might not be the correct EFCs. Give them a try and let us know if they work.

That EFC worked perfectly - just had to edit it to 00170 for the RCRP05B. Thanks! I'll pull the upgrade and see what else I can add.

I'm glad you figured out it was a 5 digit efc, I should have put that in my post.
