It freazes for a moment on "Deutsche Telekom TV Receiver Keyset 1", after a sec. I still can pres the buttons, and they are working (scrolling devices list) but FFW is naw like "Next" button, without possibility FFW.

Afterwards when I switch to Main panel (Universal Devices), trying to use (tested and working) JVC TV Keyset 1, it is not working what so ever (probably no other does).

After app restart, I'm getting errors with random letters like "yyyyy^yyyyy*yyyyyyy^" and "Done" button on right side. And on first test, my trusted keyset didn't worked for five reopenings.


Second test, I was able to FFW thru Deutsche Telecom.... but when I was gooing back (fast rewind as well) it stoped at that device (Deutsche ....) and everything happend again (buttons, not working). But this time,i t was allright after first restart.

Looking foward to it. So then You can just leave mighty N900 near TV/DVD/etc. and waiting for something to happen.

In any case, Triax does have three keysets in Pierogi right now...
Honestly, I do have only one, not working at all. The Strong device, when pressing buttons for testing is messing around my Triax reciver, but it's hardly usable.

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.
Unfortunatly I don't (which was easy for You to predict ) have equipment and skills to do so, will try anyway to serch for it - like the ready to apply IR codes, who knows.

Thank You Sir for Your work on this great app, all the best for You in (hopefully) future work on it.
