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

copernicus, i think the ideea with repeated IR signal is a nice one. as i know, for samsung at least, does not matter if the signal is repeated, because the tv response is preety slow.
also, due to some hardware issues of the n900 ( meaning the positioning of infrared port, the angle of signal distribution ) it's not working wery well as a remote, making necessary pressing many times for a command.
what i think that u could do, is to make an option in settings for repeating signal, maybe some options there regarding the repetition rate. or to integrate this according to different tv marks.

why i say that? because i own a phillips and a samsung, and their answer on remote is different. samsung is taking each command and make-it ( changing the channel one by one is a small disaster, untill does not show the next channel he don't take next command from remote ), phillips is changing as many channels as u want, depending on how many press u have.
i hope u undestand what i wanted to say.

good luck, ans congratulation for program. it have a lot of potential.

Wow, I am coming up completely empty on Polytron. Nothing in either the LIRC files or the hifi-remotes website. This one may take some effort...

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

Actually, Pierogi automatically repeats every command for as long as you hold the button down. It really has to -- every IR protocol I've seen so far requires that each command always be repeated for as long as the user holds down the button. In fact, they even specify the exact rate at which commands be repeated, so you can't really speed up or slow down how often you send the signal.

Hmm. Do you get the same results when you use the remotes that came with those TVs? If the Samsung works correctly using its own remote, the odds are there's a bug in the Pierogi code somewhere. Otherwise, I'm not sure Pierogi can do anything that the original remote could not do...

Thanks! I'll keep working on it. :)

Nice! Let me go ahead and enter the devices I know about so far...

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

I've tested the new version on my Daewoo and had no luck but I can report that pierogi works ok for Panasonic Viera.

Ps. on the Daewo remote is states R-59B01

How can I find which remote codes I will have to pick?

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

At the moment, the only way to choose a remote code in Pierogi is to go to the drop-down menu, tap "select keyset", scroll through the list of available keysets, and tap on one of them to select it. You can filter the list by the make of the device you are looking for, so that helps a little bit. (There's also an option to filter the list by device type, but that doesn't work very well yet...)

Just added my Sony into the device list, worked like a charm. Although my wife was getting a bit annoyed during the Grammy's until she figured out it was me ;-)

Just curious, any chance of getting a Dish Network reciever keyset added in? I know you talked briefly of Directv...thanks for the great app.

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

Yes! I've been putting off Dish for a while now, as I've been having nothing but trouble with most of the satellite receiver protocols so far; but there are plenty of config files for them out there. I'll put it on my list. :)
