maemo.org - Talk - [Announce] Pierogi - a universal infrared remote control app

Ah, yeah, it seems that there's more Astro hardware floating around than I had thought. :) The wiki page for Astro B.yond lists two different boxes built by Pace and one by Samsung, and the Jason Rumney blog was talking about a Phillips-made box. (And now that I look at it, that one might have been for something other than the B.yond service...)

I will go ahead and add the new LIRC file in. :) I'll see if I can come up with any other config files as well...

You might already read this, but if not it can't hurt:
Our solution may lay here:

Quote:

Alan,
These can be decoded, and they look like a version of CanalSat, except that the duration of the bits is 640 uSec instead of 500 uSec. So please go ahead an learn all the signals. The executor should be trivial to modify so that it sends the longer duration.

Quote:

OK, the box uses Zaptor instead of CanalSatLD. Zaptor can be sent at either 57KHz or 36KHz. The upgrade from UEI shoots Zaptor at 57KHz, while your learns were at 36KHz.

Yeah, actually, that's where I originally got my CanalSat info from. :) I'm following the info provided from that first quoted part. (The second quote comes from where their discussion wandered off to talking about an Altibox VIP1963 set-top box, and ends up on an entirely different protocol...)

I'm still not sure what exactly is causing the current issue with the VIP1853, but I'll push up an update with a modified check bit, which with luck will make things better.

(By the way, can you tell me if the current version of Pierogi is working for you on other devices? I should probably make sure whether this is a problem specifically with the CanalSat protocol, or with Pierogi as a whole...)

Pierogi 1.1.28 is now making its way into extras-devel. This one contains the tweak to the CanalSat protocol mentioned above; I'm crossing my fingers that it helps. Also, adds the other Astro B.yond keyset. Please give me a holler if you find any bugs!

I'll give you 20 dollars to get Eyetv working.

I could always use a little cash! ;) But honestly, I do plan on finally getting the LIRC server running on a box with an IR receiver pretty soon; once that happens, my Eyetv remote will be the first one I try out...

Aha! So, you've got the latest and greatest version of the Astro hardware. :) Yeah, since the Samsung box is completely different from their previous devices, it probably does have a completely different remote...

I don't know if I'll be able to find a config file specifically for that box, but I'll try adding some other Samsung keysets; one of them might work for you...

My samsung TV is working great from about 6m distance. So it isn't a global Pierogi problem. Unfortunately, with the new version the VIP1853 is still not working.

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

Another idea:

I have an 600D and the pierogi remote works beautiful for single shot photos. Timelapse is nothing else than repeating the same command with a certain interval... Right now timelapse only can be done using a usbcable and shoot tethered with my laptop. Doing this with the N900 would be much more comfortable than carrying around a laptop and a clumsy cable.

So my question would it be easy to implement a timelapse possibility without buying a expensive remote?

Maybe this would be better as a small fork which is only meant for controlling cameras, as i have seen other camera keysets as well.
