hi there, I have just purchased totalremote after
playing with your demo version. I have received
my box and the audio IR thingy.
I am having problems and am unable to use any
macros as they seem to continually repeat requiring
me to soft reset my pda! I gather this was a problem
but thought it was surely fixed in this latest
version???
Again, excuse the super-brief reply.
We thought it was fixed too! We are looking into it, but it seems it does not affect all users (I was unable to cause the error in one quick test just now).
unfortunately, the audio thingy does not work
with my PACE NTL digital box, but does work with
my TV/DVD etc ?? not quite sure why, but presumably
something to do with the signal type?
You are likely correct, it may be a protocol issue. Lacking a PACE cable box there won't be much testing I can do, but if you would like to send us your RCDEV file(s) I can do some basic analysis and see if the signals "look right".
also, this version of total remote does not seem
to be able to use my HP 2210's CIR hardware (just
doesnt work with that option selected) and range
is very poor using IRDA compared to nevo with
CIR. It does seem, however to prefer my old 3630s
irda on which the range is pretty good at 2-3m
compared to the 2210s of only 0.5m or so!
Again, the iPaq CIR issue appears to affect different users in different ways. I was able to verify that my test 22xx is using the CIR port, but I have heard from other users that it isn't working for them. I honestly suspect we messed this up (hacking the Nevo LED and ASIC is not trivial), so I will do some more research.
Any ideas when these "glitches" are due to be
fixed? Unfortunately, nevo is no good for me as
it doesnt seem to support "second signals" which
my LG TV needs so I seem to be snookered until
totalremote gets updated?
We are deep into v3.0 of Total Remote, but due to other responsibilities I have not been able to spend much time on it lately. I will try to keep everyone apprised.
