Hmm. That might be a little tougher; I'm not finding any config files for any sort of Canon projector. :(

Re: [Announce] Pierogi - a universal infrared remote control app
 
Can I combine different buttons from remotes into one remote?
My TV wasn't listed in Pierogi's keysets, so I tried the Automated Keyset Search and I was amazed that 4-5 keysets shut down my TV. I tried them all and every keyset had some buttons that the others didn't so I would like to combine them into one keyset. How can I achieve that?

Honestly, that isn't easy, for multiple reasons. One, trying to find the buttons that actually work with your TV (and work correctly) can be very time consuming. Two, Pierogi really isn't set up to dynamically switch buttons around, at least not yet. (The "macro" mechanism might be used to do that, but the macros are broken right now; I just haven't been able to get back to fixing them yet.)

But, if you can tell me the model number for your TV, I may be able to find an accurate config file for it and add that into Pierogi, which is probably the easiest solution of all. :)

I already wrote down in a notebook what does every button do with my TV in those Keysets

I'm not very informed about those IR commands and keysets and lirc, I just saw that thread 1 month ago and gave Pierogi a try, I was really impressed that I could do everything my remote control does with my N900(I love that phone) just I had to switch between keysets to get some advanced buttons. But still as I'm not very competent in that area I will trust and agree with you :D

I doubt you will ever find my TV because I researched it and I think the producer just re-brands some TVs and releases them by the name of "NEO" (Thats the brand that is written on the TV itself). I'm not sure about the exact model. The 'official' website is down.

The keysets that work with it are: Bush TV Keyset 1, Crown TV Keyset 1, Daewoo TV Keyset 1, Ei TV Keyset 1, LG TV Keyset 2a, Universum TV Keyset 1 and some others but they have limited functionality only to switch between channels and no other special buttons

Yeah, I'm afraid you're right; I can't find "NEO" in any of my sources. :(

Ah, these guys are all using the Philips "RC5" protocol, with a device code of 0. (I don't know why all these manufacturers refuse to choose a non-0 device code for their devices...)

I'm amazed you've gone to all the trouble of noting down the keys that worked! If you're willing to give me that data, I'll go ahead and throw together an improvised NEO keyset. :)

I've gone ahead and pushed up another update to Pierogi. This one is just to get some keysets out there, while I'm still playing around trying to set up the favorites list to remember the last panel accessed for each keyset.

This update has a new Mitsubishi projector keyset, half a dozen new BenQ projector keysets, and an improved Samsung TV keyset collection.

The Mitsubishi projector had discrete on and off buttons, so I've done the same temporary hack as with the Epson, and assigned them to the green and red buttons on the Utility panel...

I'm kinda amazed at the BenQ keysets; this is apparently another manufacturer that believes each new device should have an entirely new remote control. I'm just not going to be able to get a good generic keyset for these projectors. :(

I've now got the Samsung TVs arranged into newer TVs (keyset family 1), and older TVs (keyset family 2). (Keyset family 3 -- what was family 2 before this update -- is odd, and may not actually be for Samsung TVs at all.) If you already have some Samsung keysets in your favorites list, you may need to check them to see if they are still the correct ones for your device.

As always, be warned that this is a fresh build, and as such may contain bugs! Please notify me if you find some. :)
