They are not pulled from ID. If they are identical, they should absolutely- positively work. If not, I would question the installation. As mentioned in an earlier post- "doesn't work with the Comcast supplied remote either". I assume you meant the XR2? If so, all X1 boxes use this codeset. Be it Pace, Samsung, Arris, etc. ALL the same.

I said nothing about it not working with the native remote.

I have created both Crestron and RTI libraries with the same results in both. I will try your codes and report back.

OK... Testing my new codes with the same result as the ones out of the RTI library. Here are some of the results

0: No response
2: No response
5: Responds as 4
8: Responds as 7
9: Responds as 6
Menu: No response
Guide: Responds as info
Page UP: No response
Page Down: Responds as Guide
Record: Responds as fast forward
Enter: No response
Last Channel: No response
Favorites: No response
Replay: No Response
DVR: No Response
Live: No Response
Blue: No Response

In addition I found non documented and/or alternate commands for 0, info, and Play/Pause.

All other codes either worked or I did not test all scenarios to discover the conditions under which the code may or may not work.

I assume you have personally tested them? With an RTI system?

Cool... just checking for clarity. I will test the ones you posted monday and check back in with the result.

I plead with you at this point to update ID (you need this for an RTI remote, right?)- or sign up for CXI. Either route will save you time and headaches.

Thanks for the CXI tip. I had a Comcast modem/router/WiFi nightmare device turned into a bridge in 15 minutes today.

Np, I'm surprised there hasn't been more 'bloody murder' cries about the new 10.0.1.1 gateways vs existing 192.168.1.1 debacles. Job security 10.fold.

Just for information... what advantages would the CXI program have for an ordinary integrator who has lotsa Comcast customers?
There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions.

I can tell you that the 'legs' aren't fully developed yet, but I'm optimistic regarding support and turn ups.

@Don...

The codes you have posted cannot be imported to RTI or Crestron. I tried reformatting the strings with spaces in between each bit rather than carriage returns to see if that makes a difference. RTI will not recognize or allow the code type and gives a warning "Unknown Code Type Detected". Crestron will simply not accept the string as posted and gives me an error if I have tried to reformat them.

I am not sure how you generated these or how you copy-pasted them. Can you give me a little detail on your process here... i.e. how you generated the codes, what software was used, how did you copy-paste them, etc...

FYI... The crestron integrator partner website has a functioning X1 module. It is titled simply Xfinity and has no reference to model compatibility.

When I have time I will have to extract the codes from it and check protocol/device/command data.

Regarding the codes you are posting... are you pulling these from the RTI library? I ask because these are the same codes from that library which do not work correctly. A little info would go a long way here...

I'm not sure why they pasted in a column like that- they were copied from a PDF. The PDF was provided by a pretty reliable, yet unnameable source. Do you have an RTI learner?

Sorry you're still having issues. The reason Crestrons IR library only has one Xfinity code is because all the STB's have the same codes. And man, I'm telling you- they work! I can fire you a T2x file with them if it will help.

Have you signed up for CXI yet? There's an Easter egg available for doing so!

I have an RTI learner. I have tried to learn the codes in all conceivable ways.

I also analyzed the codes in the RTI library and then used make hex to generate a full listing of all possible codes in the same protocol family. I tested most of the first 100 codes and found a few working codes that were not listed in the RTI library.

Regarding the Crestron library... I would have discovered this earlier has they actually indicated it was compatible (XR2, X1... etc...). It was simply called "Xfinity".

I do know the codes are an odd bird and sensitive to repeats. Perhaps they do not copy well into other programs for some reason because the codes out of the RTI library and the cleanly generated codes most assuredly have the issues I have listed.

CXI in process...

Jeez, how I hate terms like "the CI Space" as though it has three dimensions. If you want to be accurate, it has height, length, and width* and thinking and imagination. Five dimensions. Heck, it's got its own seventies group!

But what made me write this was the term "disruptive." It means new and different, and about zero moments' thought reveals that new and different means different ways of doing things. But somehow it's gotta be called disruptive.






*Regarding dimensions, I learned from a cabinetmaker and a machinist that there are three dimensions:
height,
length,
width,
depth,
breadth,
thickness
and gauge.
Three dimensions.
What blew my mind was that a particle board shelf 48" wide can be replaced by a wood shelf 48" long because the dimension that goes with the grain is always length. Particle board has no grain so you use the sensible word, the one that matches the space: width.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
