Hi

I am really pleased to have found this site, I have just required an old amplifier that did not come with a remote control. The chances of finding a replacement are very slim.

Someone has very helpfully uploaded a .CCF file to this device which I have downloaded

[Link: files.remotecentral.com]

I don't have a Philips pronto remote, but I am wondering if I can import this somehow onto my Samsung S5 Android Phone? I could then use it's built in IR blaster to control the amplifier.

Any guidance or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Install IrScrutinizer on a PC (not the Android device). Import the ccf file. Then export it (or a subset thereof) into a format that an app on the Android device can use, for example as irplus -- requires the irplus app, free of charge for the ad-version. I am sure there are other alternatives too.

Thanks kindly for the helpful response.

Unfortunately iRScrutinizer crashes when loading the file.

Erroneous signal: wrong repeat length

The file was created in 2002.

It loads using CCF Extractor, but I can't save to IrTrans format (Access violation).

The good news however, is that I am able to view the codes and all the buttons I need are there.

E.g DIM

0000 006B 0026 0000 0154 00AD 0016 0041 0016 0040 0016 0041 0016 0016 0016 0015 0016 0016 0016 0015 0016 0040 0016 0016 0016 0015 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0016 0016 0040 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0016 0016 0015 0016 0041 0016 0040 0016 0016 0016 0040 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0015 0016 0016 0016 05D6 015B 0056 0016 0E78 015B 0056 0016 00AD

VOLU

0000 012E 0026 0000 0150 003D 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0007 0016 0007 0016 0007 0016 0007 0016 0016 0016 0007 0016 0007 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0007 0016 0007 0016 0007 0016 0007 0016 0007 0016 0007 0016 0007 0016 0016 0016 0016 0017 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0017 0016 0016 0016 0017 0016 0016 0007 0016 0007 0016 0211 015B 001E 0016 0520 015B 001E 0016 003D

---------

Any idea how I can handle these codes and translate them into a format my phone's IR blaster can broadcast?

First of all, IrScrutinizer does not crash, at least not the current version. It warns since some of the Pronto Hex is incorrect; the incorrect signals do not decode, but the other signals can be used.

I had a look at the file, and considered that it is probably not too dangerous to be "forgiving" for these errors. Try this version:
[Link: github.com]

Then you can export them into e.g. the irplus format that an Android app uses. This answers you second question.

Thanks again for your help Barf - bad choice of words of my side, you are correct it was not a crash per se just an error message.

The version you linked to loads the files without producing an error but I am having problems exporting it. I am only interested in the entries commented "MKII/MKII 1".

On the scrutinize remote tab, I highlight the required rows in the "Parametric Remote" window. Right click, then choose "Export selected". The console window then produces the following text:

Would you mind attempting to export these lines yourself to see if this error is repeatable?

OK, I have found out the reason for the message above...

The MAX VOLU command was missing entries for the "protocol" and "D" columns. I've populated these with jvc / 135 as per the other lines and it's exporting OK now.
