Re: [Announce] Pierogi - a universal infrared remote control app
 

The Philips keysets are a mess, no offence.
I used the Philips DVD 3 keyset on my DVDR 7310 H recorder. The power button was mute one time, the other time I only got an pop up with error(just the word error) on my screen, that means it did receive a command but it's not available at that moment. Also I have to admit the IR sensor on this thing sucks. Really requires precise aiming, I think. As I don't understand the "receiving" LED states =/ On my Panasonic TV not really needed to aim that well, atleast I think. However I am not sure as my Philips DVD/HDD recorder might work better with the "right" keyset

Just tested 0.6.2, LG TV 1 is all sorted.
The mute button works as it should also the volume button works exactly like the remote now.
Thanks.

The "range" is never going to be that great compared to a remote.
The infrared on the N900 is deep inside a plastic case.
Normal remotes use wide LED's that stick out beyond the casing. This means you can get 120 degree spread, you'lll never get that on the N900.

@Copernicus,

First of all. Thanks a lot for this program. I just saw the thread today and quickly installed it :)

I'll try it with my Sony TV + Sony HDD DVR when I'm at home.
Now, I have a so-called "Media Receiver" (MR300) from the Deutsche Telekom. There are no specs for it as far as I know, but I found that the LIRC database contains an entry for a "T-Online" product (S100).

No idea what S100 is, but maybe you could try adding that and then I can try it if works with the Media Receiver.

Cheers.

Is it possible to add those "Chinese universal remotes"?
I'm talking about these remotes:

Good to hear! I wasn't sure I had the protocol quite right. :)

Re: [Announce] Pierogi - a universal infrared remote control app
 

No offence taken. As I've noted above, the possibility that Philips is completely messed up would not be a surprise. :)

Hmm. The Philips protocol is really quite well designed, such that even if you had a remote for another device, it shouldn't really mess up your device like that. It does sound like there may be an error in my code, then. I'll take another look at it.

(Also, I haven't been able to find a keyset specifically associated with the 7310, so it may be that I simply don't have the right codes.)

On the aiming -- I could certainly believe that if I've got the protocol timings wrong, the receiver might still be able to recognize signals (or, at least, believe that it recognized signals) if you hold the phone close enough to saturate the sensor. So if I manage to tweak it correctly, it may in fact work at a normal range.

Hi there, requesting LG TV's Service_Menu (resp. IR Hack) if possible.

Thanks,
