Device combiner with Pioneer DVD
Posted: Tue Sep 05, 2006 8:13 am
I've successfully used the Device Combiner for a couple of years with a URC-7562. Recently I've got a URC-8060 and I was having trouble with the DC and a device using the Pioneer DVD protocol. My problem was any of the codes using the Pioneer DVD protocol simply didn't work. I have now sorted this out and it's working fine.
The reason I had a problem was that I had created a 1-byte device (1571) which used the Pioneer DVD protocol (017E). When I imported this into DC (in RM) it came in as 007E (00 not 01). I was adding the 017E protocol into IR and I guess the URC-8060 must have a different 007E built in (DVD2, MIX, ..?)
Anyway, I now change the 017E protocol to 007E when I add it into IR (as I don't need the built in protocol) and everything works fine.
When I load my 1-byte 1571 into RM it shows the PID as 017E, and outputs an Upgrade Protocol of 017E. But if I edit the .rmdu file I see 007E:
I thought this was strange...?
Also, in RM (I'm using v1.66 btw) if I choose protocol of Pioneer DVD it uses PID of 017E,
But if I choose protocol of DC and then "Add" protocol Pioneer DVD under the "Device Combiner" tab it uses PID of 007E.
I would have thought these both would have used the same PID.
Any thoughts?
