Barf, on DirecTV you wrote
, tested on real DirecTV learns. I set up six upgrades on one remote, one for each parm value 0-5, and learned the same signal from each on to another remote. I also created six protocols, DirecTV_P0 through DirecTV_P5, one for each parm value, and the six learned signals show up in RMIR as from the appropriate protocol. BTW It does not work in DecodeIR, which distinguishes on frequency but gives the parm value of the longer leadout for both shorter and longer ones.
This brings me to a query. I would prefer to report these not as six different protocols, but all as DirecTV with the parm value in the Misc field in RMIR. I think I could do that by using your new feature of including XML in a parameter element. I would use two XML entries within the uei-executor parameter, one giving a name (DirecTV) that overrides the protocol name in RMIR and the other that adds text (the parm value) to show in the Misc field in RMIR. But I don't know how to access these entries. Could you give me an example, please?
Yes, I did mean the other way round. But the really interesting thing is that IT WORKS(You probably mean the other way around, since matching the longer implies matching the shorter.) In principle do-able, but I doubt that it will work "in practice"; the only way to really determine the intended lead-out it to send the signal immediately followed by something else.
