I am in the process of upgrading from a JP1 remote to a MX-850. I have been able to get most of my devices converted using MakeHex and Hex2ccf. I am havening problems with XBMC (Xbox Media Center).

XBMC works with the standard buttons that come on the Xbox remote but you can also map custom buttons using RCA5. The irp file I am passing to MakeHex looks like:

Device=5
Function=0..255

Protocol=RCA
Frequency=58000
Time Base=460
Zero=1,-2
One=1,-4
Prefix=8,-8
Suffix=1,-15
First Bit=MSB
Form=;*,D:4,F:8,~D:4,~F:8,_

But XBMC isn't recognizing any of the hex this irp file creates. To get by for now I just learned my old remote to the new but it would be nice to be able to use MakeHex for this.

Does anyone have any experience using MakeHex to build hex that is compatible with XBMC?

It's been 10 years! So I hope he solved it by now. In the current decade, you can use IRScrutinizer to do it since it made MakeHex obsolete several years ago. And XBMC doesn't even exist anymore.

The Xbox remote uses MCE protocol, not "RCA5". He probably meant "RC5" (of which MCE is the correct variant he should have used). So that was the cause of his original problem, using the entirely wrong protocol.

MCE codes are built in to most remotes, so there's no need to resort to pronto hex at all.
