JP1 Remotes

No intent to waste anyone’s time, for sure. Never received an update notice, nor realized I needed to look for one.

Appreciate the advice very much. Just to verify, what is the latest version, do I just load it on top of this one?

Any risk of losing my saved files?

Thank you again for the help and sorry for causing the frustration, I did not know.

Follow the File Section link at the top of this page, then go to Tools > Main and select "RM/RMIR (latest copy)", that'll take you to SourceForge where you can download the latest version (which is v2.09 build6).

When we create new versions of any of our tools, we post announcements in the Software forum. We don't expect regular folk to upgrade immediately if they're happy using their current version, but if you're having problems getting a tool to work, we do expect that the first step should be to get the latest copy, just in case whatever issue you're having has been fixed in a more recent copy.

In your case, not only is v2.03 several versions behind v2.09, but you're not even using an official release, you're using an "alpha" version which is much more likely to have problems. We're not saying that your old version has contributed to your problems, but it's best to eliminate it as a possibility.

Anyway, if you had already got to the point where RM was running and was just asking for you to set the libraries (ie, for maps, RDFs, etc) you should be pretty close to getting it up and running.

It is with GREAT appreciation to Barf, The Robman, Mdavej and others who read and helped with my latest JP1 hurdle, that I am THRILLED to report: IT'S FIXED!

Downloading the latest version was the answer. I'll note that I still got the Apple security warnings to start, but after going to security settings, then selecting it as an exception to open all is smooth.

YAY!!! Thank you all so much.

Between JP1 success and Google Home voice commands I'm feeling right sporty!

Glad you got it sorted.

Let me add that there is a menu entry Help -> Check for updates that checks if your version is the current one. (has not always been reliable, but appears to be working now. Except that this very moment, for me, it doesn't (HTTP error 503 (service not available)), sourceforge... ).

For IrScrutinizer, there is a "Check for Updates" unter Tools, and I just put checking for updates at start on the TODO-list.

@The Robman (and others): We should really have a Wiki page on debugging this problem and a checklist.

That's the beauty of wiki, anyone can do it, just ask me for a userid.
