Greg, I've been using RM quite a bit this last week, and just wanted to say what a nice tool this is. At some point you "told" me that RM was a more intuitive than KM. I never appreciated that statement, because I hadn't worked with the complicated protocols. But I just muddled my way through a couple of Pioneer upgrades and a Nec 4dev Combo and I must say that RM really shined when dealing with those complicated protocols. Thanks for all your hard work.

You are most welcome. And thank you for the feedback.

Greg,

I think I've found a bug in 1.98beta4. If you start a new upgrade, NEC1 protocol and enter a device number like 133, the fixed data does not change. If you then save or change tabs, the number disappears. If you enter 0133, it works fine. The subdevice box has the same issue. I was using the 15-133 RDF.

Sounds like the same thing reported here.

RM v1.98beta5 is now available, with a fix for the protocol parameters.
Get it at RM Downloads

Greg,

This version isn't working very well for me. It appears to ignore the remote type in my RMDU files and just uses whatever remote I used last. I get the same result with every file on 2 different computers. Any ideas?

This is the java version BTW, not the exe.

Thanks

More info. I see that it also ignores the remote model I pick from the dialog if it can't find a match when it loads. I tried a fresh install on XP and Vista with the same result. Beta4 works fine.

Try Beta6:

RemoteMaster.v1.98beta6.zip (Windows, Linux 32/64)
RemoteMaster.v1.98beta6.exe (Windows only)

Hi Greg, Device Combiner issues appear to be fixed as well aas the memory leak when scrolling.

Thanks for the fix!

Works great now, and seems to load files really fast. Thanks, Greg. And I like the direct download link in your post too. Nice work.

Greg,

I just noticed something in 1.98beta6. THIS upgrade of mine is NEC1 device 133.237 which worked fine a few versions ago when I first created it. However, when I open it now in RM, I get device 307.567. Seems to be doing similar things with other NEC protocols as well (combo, etc.).

Thanks

Please try RM 1.98beta7

• RemoteMaster.v1.98beta7.zipMulti-platform, JRE required.
• RemoteMaster.v.198beta7.exe - Windows stand-alone.

Thanks, Greg. Works great.
