I am not talking about feedback from the amp to the plugin (obviously thats impossilbe). I am taking about the plugin ignoring an ir command from the SB3/Transporter while it is in the middle of sending a previous command. I am guessing thats why the volume up down with a remote does not work but

Willy, Depends what you mean by properly? I can control the volume of my Denon reciever using the SB remote, although I don't think holding the volume button down works - I have to keep hitting it. However I would rarely change volume by holding the button anyway as the amp changes volume far too

well that's not really properly (many amps have the sense to change volume gradually, and i would send back a universal remote that didn't allow me to hold my finger on the volume button) but it would be a step up for me... sometimes if i try and press it real quick it might work from time to

I found the commands on the net,probably via the lirc page, and I have the default delay set. It might work when holding the button down (I can check), I just don't use it that way. The Denon amp seems to accelerate the volume changes the longer you hold the button and it can easily get out of

I just spoke with Felix in email about a similar problem. And also an apparently faulty conf file I downloaded. IR commands for most devices are made up of a lead-in, a one-time pattern, a repeat pattern and a lead-out (and delay). When you press a remote button one time you get a sequence

Hi there @ willyhoops: What I meant was that I do not get any feedback from the player (SB3, Transporter) when it has finished sending an ir command. Anyway, I've put up a new version of the IR Blaster plugin onto my website that blocks sending (raw/learned) ir commands while another is still

Can't the ir blaster plugin just send the commands one at a time instead of repeating even though it is getting frequent multiple commands from the remote? Eg logic says: if I am currently sending a vol up command then ignore this new request to send it again. Then the remote volume would be as

I am using a cable to cable connection. Felix what you got to take into account I keep saying is that the volume up down works perfectly if you click test in the web but fails when you press the transporter remote so its not the cable or the line of site etc etc. clearly it's a bug coming

Hi there Thank you for your input. I understand it's frustrating if something is not working as intended. There is a difference between pressing the test button and using the remote. Not for power on and off, but when using volume up and down. Pressing the test button sends out the command one

No changing the delay does not make much or any difference. The control is not reliable even though via the web buttons it is fine. Also you can't just keep your finger on it and the volume goes up like a normal remote. I guess the multiple commands coming in from the server are confusing the

Hi I have gone through the learning process and when i have the Home / Settings of player / IR-Blaster page up I can click test and make the volume move up and down. But when I press volume up or volume down on the remote it just jumps to volume 50% and the amp volume does not change. This is

I just found you have to reboot the pc (restarting slim server not enough) and then it picks up the volume 100 setting but the volume up and down keys still do not work even though the web interface configuration page up and down test work. When I press the key it just says volume 100 and nothing
