Hey, thanks!! I installed it and it worked perfectly! I then made a few changes for the RX-V1800 (I didn't make any changes for the RX-397). The changes related to the RX-V1800 are as follows: 1. Deleted the LIRC data file because I found the NEC format codes that work for Memory settings 1-4. Thus, I deleted the xml lines that referenced the LIRC data file, and replaced them with the appropriate lines using NEC codes. 2. Edited the "Power On" and "Home" key to do the following: Turn the receiver on, select "SQUEEZEBOX" as the input, and engage "Memory 1". I found codes that activate Memory settings 1-4 with one press of a button, so it wasn't necessary to engage the Memory buttons twice to confirm. 3. Added "TV" command. When activated, the "TV" command switches the receiver's input to TV, and activates "Memory 3". I sometimes have the TV on while listening to the Duet---when something interesting shows up on the screen, I activate "TV" on the SBController to hear the TV sound. 4. Added "SQUEEZEBOX" command. When activated, the receiver switches the input to SQUEEZEBOX, and activates "Memory 1". This command is useful when returning to music listening from the TV, when the interesting part of the TV show is finished. 5. Added six volume presets. I saved six commonly used music listening volume settings I use for the RX-V1800. With the press of one button, I can set the volume to any one of the six specific settings. Hopefully I didn't forget to explain any other changes I made. I've attached the zipped, revised xml file showing the changes. Thanks again, indifference engine. I am having so much fun with my controllers' new functions. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: SqueezeIR.zip | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=9462| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- fquails ------------------------------------------------------------------------ fquails's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31987 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
