Is it possible to add a panel for qwerty keyboard in Samsung Tv keyset 2a?
I need it for Samsung SmartTv UE32ES6800
Even for TVs that do support keyboards, Pierogi probably isn't going to be able to emulate a remote keyboard. Most manufacturers are simply not choosing to use infrared technology for that purpose. Radio frequency interfaces (like bluetooth) are the fad for keyboards these days...

Interesting! Is this only with the Motorola set top box, or is this a problem with all devices? There's been a similar on-going problem with Sony TVs; I'm almost certain it has to be a problem with the IR protocol I'm using (as normal universal remotes work just fine with Sony TVs, so far as I know), but I haven't been able to pin down exactly what is going on.
Can you tell me the model name of the set top box? Thanks!
last night I let a friend of mine thought that his brand new flat screen was defective when it keeps coming on and off

That means it's very likely that I've got the protocol just a little bit off for that device; I've got the wrong timing values, or I'm using the wrong carrier frequency. I'll do some more research...

I don't know if it's important but the ES6800 does supports wired and wireless (through bluetooth) keyboards and mice, trust me, I tried
Samsung sells RMC-QTD1 (remote with qwerty) and VG-KBD1000(keyoboard wireless) ma they both use bluetooth

I've gotta admit, though, that I'm having a heck of a time figuring out how to deal with many of the AC ir protocols; for some reason, air conditioners seem to have protocols dozens of times more complex than those used for TVs or DVD players. 
Edit: Hey, it turns out that one of the experts at the JP1 website finally managed to crack the checksum being used in the protocol for this remote (just a couple of weeks ago, in fact). But man, what an insanely complicated protocol they use... It seems that, due to the state information maintained inside the remote, every command has to dump the entire set of state information to the A/C in order to keep them in sync. At least, that's my guess.
I'm not going to give any estimates as to how long it'll take to get this into Pierogi, as I don't know how long it'll take to actually wrap my head around the whole thing. But you can check out The Robman's amazing work here.

Well, one advantage to taking time off from a project is that, when you come back to it, you sometimes notice things you had missed previously. I spent weeks wrestling with the QTabbedWindow interface back in the spring, and couldn't find a good way to manage the tabs; but, in the fine print, I've just discovered that they'll let you place an arbitrary button on either side of the tab bar.
So, I dropped an arbitrary button on the right side of the bar, and am now using that button to easily manage the available tabs. (At least, I think this new system is easy.) Click the button, and you are presented with several collections of panels to choose from. And the screen looks nicer this way, too, I think. I'll attach a pic of the new screen at the bottom of this post.
Still an experimental concept here; please give me your thoughts on how to improve it (or whether you think it's junk ). Thanks!
Anyway, I now have this update working its way into extras-devel. As always, be warned that there may be prolific bugs in this release, especially as I've been away from the project for so long.
Also of note in this release, I've made a first pass at keysets for Cisco, Gadmei, Loewe, Onkyo, Orion, Proview, Strong, Technisat, and Telefunken, and added new keysets to Panasonic, Sony, Toshiba, and Zenith. (I'm trying to work through the backlog of the device request list as best I can. Still lots more to go...)

Well, first things first, that's great app, either for home and outside (read pranks) use For me that arbitrary button is spot on idea.
I do have one request, I don't know is it hard to get new devices on app, but if it is ok for You to add this one:
"TRIAX Digital Satellite Receiver SR 110"
Living in Eire, and there is plenty that stuff around, have one (this is very cheap, and low end stuff - but working fine) myself.
Keep up the good work.
