Thank you Lyndel.
I have made some minor modifications so that it is a complete irp protocol file, checked in at [Link: raw.githubusercontent.com] . To use, just download to anywhere on your computer, and select it as "secondary" (Options -> IRP Protocol database -> Select secondary... and restart the program.)
My preference is the AppleV2-NoDefaultDevice as upon a decode you can immediately see
which device is being used whereas with AppleV2 protocol definition,
if device = 14, it is not displayed.
In IrScrutinizer, there is an option "Remove defaulted parameters in decode", found under Options. For this reason, a non-defaulted version or the protocol in not meaningful or needed, IMHO.
Background: The protocols in IrScrutinizer/IrpTransmogrifier are not authored by me. The have developed more-or-less continuously the last 20 years in the JP1 community (and also others). In particular, DecodeIR should be mentioned. In particular, they are used in the RMIR/RemoteMaster program. For this reason, I think that changes in the protocol definitions should be made only with considerable afterthought, in order not to break existing data collections, or other programs, like RMIR/RemoteMaster. The existing protocol definitions are far from perfect, but we know what the quirks are and how to live with them.
Also, I do not consider the linked Wikipedia article to be an authoritative source. It is Wikipedia policy WP:NOR not to base articles on original research, but exactly that appears to be the case here. No real source is given for the main claims. So, from that point of view, it is hard to claim that the wiki parametrization is more justified than the one presently used.
I have really no stakes in the Apple protocol. I am open to people's opinions and arguments. Let's hear from you! I have posted in the JP1 forum, [Link: hifi-remote.com]
