Copernicus it worked. I now have n900 remote controll for my Andersson tv. Thanks

Ack! Yes, please be careful with this program, not only because it is still in development mode, but because you really can do bad things to other devices with it!

That said, one of the detriments of this program is that it lacks sufficient documentation. Looking at the LG command set, I can see that there are two different "input" commands right around the same value, and I've only got one of them mapped. What most likely happened is that I've got one of the "discrete" input commands mapped (so it only switches the TV to use a particular port, it doesn't "toggle" back). Hopefully, all you need to do is find the control on the original device that changes the input.

My own Samsung tv/monitor will start flashing the LED when switched to use a port that is providing no data. It even remembers the port setting when turned off and on again. So I'm hopeful that's all that is going on with the LG...

Again, please be careful with this program!

EDIT: I downloaded the LG manual for that monitor, and it includes something I've never seen before anywhere: it contains the actual IR commands for the device, even describing how IR works (with diagrams of the waveform)! I have new respect for the LG company!

Anyway, looking at their table, the code that Pierogi's "Input" button is mapped to in that keyset is the value "11" (or "0B" in hexadecimal), which turns out to indeed be a code that changes the TV's input port. You should be able to change the input back by using the console's input button (the one farthest to the left of the group on the bottom right side of the console), or by using the "input" button on the original remote control (if you have it).

You can download the manual from here:

I will go ahead and enter the data from this manual and create a new keyset.

Yes, other folks have brought up this idea, and I myself was looking into it when I started this project. To be completely honest, though, it is quite possible that none of the keysets currently in Pierogi will work with your TV; this code is still in development, and still has huge gaps in its internal database. (Not to mention that it is still undergoing testing.)

My plans are still to concentrate on getting a more complete, functional, and efficient back-end system running before adding this sort of feature. (In particular, if your TV didn't mute, it'd be hard to tell if it was due to a bug in Pierogi or due to the fact that Pierogi just didn't have the right keyset yet...)

Yes, there seems to be a problem with Pierogi in general with the Sony TVs... I need to continue digging into the protocol, it must have a bug in it somewhere. Thanks!

LG TV Keyset 1 works fine for all the LG's I have used, friends and my own.
So should the wrong keyset cause problems on other TV's or would this be classed as a bug in Pierogi?

Hmm. Ultimately, this has to be seen as a bug in Pierogi. The TV appears to be responding correctly to the command given to it; it's just that there wasn't enough information provided by Pierogi (or, for that matter, from the TV either) to let the user know what was going on.

If keysets can have mappings with subtle differences like this (such as one device interpreting a code as a "toggle" button and another as a "discrete" button), I'll need to make that possibility plain to the user. Probably this would mean taking the "Input" button off the Utility tab and making a more complete, informative page of input controls. Or something like that.

But yeah, I do want this to be a universal remote control, so buttons that do not do what you expect have to be considered a bug...

That would be a shame, I use the Input button a lot; on that LG Keyset as well.
But, I agree if Pierogi is to become stable it can't be doing funny things to equipment on any Keyset.

This app is just MUST HAVE.
See it from My-maemo back in January.
Tested on Philips sat receiver DSR2210 & on A LCD samsung TV. it work just well.even at 10 meters.
I tested on my RCA RS2652 but it hardly work (at 5-10 cm). (remote RS 2652)
So easy to easy Compared to QtIrreco.
No Internet connection needed for new device. Unless...
It's just cool to see an app that work nice and comfortable for N900.
BIG THANKS.

My request:
A desktop widget

Please, can you add remote for Technics too (SC-HD310 / SC-HD350 models)

Well, this is just talking about my preference for the official Pierogi app. If I can get the back-end code into shape, there shouldn't be anything stopping folks from creating their own personal front-ends to the IR control system.

thanks.. its the only ir app that works...
I have a question...
is it just me or n900's ir doesn't work's more then 5 ft
