Some use the complement of device for subdevice (like your amp), some send device twice (like my TV) whilst others have a subdevice that is completely seperate to the device (like my DVD player). You are right though that these represent distinct protocols and I need to either implement them as such or have another parameter in the NEC syntax to specify which flavour is to be used. A blank subdevices field couldn't distinguish between the first two flavours. 48-NEC looks to have an extra parameter tagged on the end also so the calling syntax does need to be revised somehow. I was just being lazy and lumped them all together into a mashed up protocol that worked for my devices!
I've tended to ignore the repeat codes defined in the protocol because the SBC cannot send them out with completely accurate timing as it has to do other things aswell. This can lead to "holes" in the signal and the device can stop responding as it forgets what the original code was before the repeat code. Instead I just repeat the whole thing so that holding a button on the SBC is actually mimicing pressing it repeatedly (and very quickly) on the real remote. I think it shouldn't make a difference but may mean that things like volume control are a bit jerky. If the device doesn't use a special repeat code then there is no difference. Another limitation is SqueezeIR can only really deal with constant length codes as I use a timer to send the codes every x ms. With a variable length code x will be different for each code. I'm looking to address this in the next major release. -- indifference_engine ------------------------------------------------------------------------ indifference_engine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20698 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66795 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
