well i tried the digital stream keyset, unfortunately it doesn't work :-/
Would it be possible to setup a cycle process to cycle through power off toggle for every keyset then have the process revert back and forth in order to find working keysets ?
But if there's an interest, I can still try to throw something together...

Any chances with a CambridgeAudio set?

Yes, it should certainly be possible. In fact, I was originally going to make a process like that one of the main ways of searching for keysets. However, I've gotta tell you that such a system would be amazingly time consuming; you'd have to sit for hours to let it go through all the possibilities... Narrowing your search by brand and by type of target device simplifies the task considerably, and by the time you've done that, you can probably just go through the few keysets left by hand.
But if there's an interest, I can still try to throw something together...
By the way thanks for this incredible program!
Perhaps you could also tie in the user input to hardware buttons if you actually do end up doing it?
And it doesn't necessarily have to be time consuming seeing some codes are duplicates and some are made for specific devices (tv's,vcr/dvd players,sat recievers) etc etc.

Ok, yet another update working its way up. The main feature in this one is the use of Hildon Banners to tell the user about the new keyset when using the volume rocker switch....
...Also in this update, fixes for the bugs sixwheeledbeast found. (Thanks!)
I can happily report the bug fixes work, sound mode now controls the sound not the picture. Thanks for the update.
Updated the wiki list for all the requests in this thread so far in time order (top = first).
Anybody with device requests please post them here. Sorry if I missed a request.
Added a couple of devices to the Compatible list too!

You can probably already see that this is a very "form follows function" kind of app. But the app is written in a manner that fairly decently separates UI code from keysets & IR driver code, so making changes to the UI (even radical ones) should be fairly easy.Two, I made a decision in the early days of this project that I'd go ahead and load all the keysets into memory when the app starts. This way, I didn't need to bother adding extra code to dynamically load and unload keysets. (Also, in theory, it makes switching between keysets fast, but I can't really see how that would ever be slow...) This was not a problem when there were only a few dozen keysets, but we must be well into the hundreds by now. "top" shows that the latest version of Pierogi is now eating up more than 20% of available RAM! This isn't such a big problem for a standalone app, but not good if you're planning on leaving it on the desktop while other apps are running...
I am going to rework the keyset management code as soon as I get the chance, and see if I can reduce Pierogi's memory footprint. Once it slims down a bit, it might be a better candidate for a widget.

A note on the current keyset naming scheme: I've been having trouble putting together logical keysets for a number of audio devices. There are quite a few audio systems that have been pieced together from otherwise separate components, and from what I can see, the makers just glom the original remote controls from each component into one super-remote containing all the buttons. I've just run into this with Kenwood, where there is at least one remote that not only has multiple media buttons (play/pause/ffwd/rew/etc.), but multiple volume control buttons, and even multiple power buttons!
I'm not going to try to create a single UI that has so many multiple copies of buttons. Instead, I've split the keys back into keysets for each individual component. So, there are now three "Component Keyset"s in the Kenwood collection, and to control all the various features of a Kenwood audio device, you may need to switch back and forth between multiple component keysets.
I'm probably going to go back through some of the other audio keysets I've entered and split them into their components as well. It just makes life a whole lot easier for me...
In any case, a new update is on the way up, with initial keysets for Kenwood, Beko, Cambridge Audio, and Haier.

I hate the fact that the guys that invented bluetooth who works for SIG made it to be a replacement for PAN. When in reality it really is far from it. Bluetooth can still be sniffed out of the air where IR can't.
