I'm planning on setting the default back to 33%, as that is the LIRC's default as well...

I didn't notice a change when you switched from 33 to 50.

Also if I play with the duty cycle in the new setting with my LG TV, I have to go to the extremes of either end (<15 and >85) before commands are dropped.

Edit:- is your carrier frequency set for all the protocol or are they different for each?
Would ~3Hz out on the carrier cause this?

I set the carrier frequency specifically for each protocol. Unfortunately, frequency data is even less available than command timing data; the LIRC just defaults to 38 kHz for most protocols, and that seems to work fairly well. But the receivers are expecting a specific carrier frequency, and getting closer to that desired frequency will probably provide better results.

By pushing the frequency all the way up to 60 kHz, I've been able to reduce the effective range to my little Samsung TV to maybe 50 centimeters (or a foot and a half). So I know that it has a range effect for at least some devices.

(I would imagine that bad command timings would have a similar effect.)

Hi, after the new update of Pierogi (with the advance panel and the preferences tab), the macro seems not to work any more(it work if I press the "Run" button in macro panel, but when I press the physical key it does not work).

Maybe I set a setting wrong?

Hi Copernicus!
Just wanna thank you for this app. :)
We just bought a TV this afternoon for my mom and had the opportunity to test Pierogi on different brands. I overheard a customer asking the sales guy what I was using, the sales guy trying to be all-knowing for his buyer said I'm using a "smart remote control". :D

+1 bragging rights, the N900 made an impression.

Sorry for the late reply, been away from Pierogi for a while... Ah well, I'm still trying to clean up both my macro system and my keyboard controls. I think the first thing to check out is in the Preferences option in the menu, there is a "Macro Pack with Keyboard Focus" option that you'll probably want to switch to "User Defined Keyboard Macros". Hopefully that will get things working again for a while...

I've done as you said and it does not work....

Buddy can u make tha thingy such that we can add ir data of diff brands if we can find them? Pls or a possible workaroumd on adding data to it:) thanx

Sure, you can add them just now. Look into code, and add new definitions there. Then send patches to Copernicus, he will be endlessly pleased.

Otherwise, you may want to send him definitions you've found and would like to see in pierogi, then ask kindly - just without all this "Plllls!" and other luser habits.
