I have a Soundserver without Repeat-Function on the Scroll-UP/Down Buttons. So, if i step through a list i must press for e.g. Scroll Down multiple times. My Idea: Create a Button wich will pressed once goes to a loop and fire the same code continiously until I press the same Button again, then the loop stop's firering. Has anybody an Idea how to realize this with variables?

Writing the macros using variables should not be a problem (see below for my guess without testing). I think the issue is that the remote is not "interruptible" during a macro. In other words, it does not detect button presses during a running macro.

Let us know if the remote will allow this to work. My guess is it will create an infinite loop and you’ll have to use the silver button to reboot.

For the macros you need three buttons (BTN1, INTRM, LOOP) and one variable (BUTTON1)

BTN1 -- Button to start and end process. Defined as a variable macro with steps:
BUTTON1 Variable = 0
--Set Variable BUTTON1 to 1
--Perform button/macro INTRM
BUTTON1 Variable = 1
--Set Variable BUTTON1 to 0


INTRM (on a hidden page) -- Defined as a variable macro with steps:
BUTTON1 Variable = 1
--Perform button/macro LOOP
BUTTON1 Variable = 0
--(do nothing)

LOOP (on a hidden page) -- Defined as a normal macro with steps:
--IR code for button you want to repeat
--Delay if desired
--Perform button/macro INTRM

(I edited format so you would be able to read)

You are correct, the remote does not respond to button presses anytime a macro is actively running. I would think a better solution would be to just have it repeat the code anytime the button is being held down. Then when you release, it stops.

I agree. Is this a case where the IR code uses a toggle bit and was captured in only one state. If so, you may be able to have the code updated in Universal's IR database and then proceed as triple B recommended.
