Hmm. I definitely need to do some more work here. Is it any ten to twelve devices? (In particular, does it freeze after hitting a Pioneer device? I'm having a little trouble with their protocol.) Also, after the fast forward freezes, does the step forward/backward still work, or does it also freeze? Thanks!

And I alsow think that SCAN, PAUSE, sounds like great idea and more user friendly thing.
Alright, I'll go ahead and whip up another panel for that, then.

TRIAX have only one device now, why?
Actually, I really shouldn't have put any Triax device names into Pierogi. I've built this app entirely on lists of numbers that I found somewhere on the internet: I have no actual Triax devices to test these lists of numbers against. So, I don't really feel justified in labeling a keyset as being able to control a device until someone with the actual device tells me that it works.

In any case, Triax does have three keysets in Pierogi right now...

Can I help somehow in searching for the documentation, details about device...to make it work on that particural one that I'd mentioned earlier?
For some reason I really don't understand, almost no manufacturer ever publishes their IR codes. (I say "almost" because I once did find an LG TV manual with a brief, but useful description of them.) The way that pretty much everybody gets IR codes these days is to put their device's remote control in front of an IR receiver hooked up to a PC, and push each button on the thing one by one.

If you've got the equipment and the skill to read IR codes, that'd be the quickest way to add support for the Triax into Pierogi (or, for that matter, QtIrreco, or a wide range of other universal remotes). Eventually, though, somebody will probably do it, because universal remotes are just too useful.

It really makes no sense to me that manufacturers try to hide this data.
