Here it is: http://www.mediacenterguides.com/advancedremotes#Input.inf. Looks like a guide Ryan put together from various posts here at tgb and other sites. Note: I haven't verified any of the data, I go off the inf files directly but seems to be accurate so should help.

Mike,

Question:

In my hidir.inf file there are three sections with different remote commands:

   HKR,"Remotes\745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57db","ReportMappingTable",0x00000001,

The "b" changes from section to section with da,db, and dbb listed.  I believe my remote is the "db" section.

I notice in Ryan's guide he uses the da when writing the .inf file.  Does it matter which one I use or must it be "da"?

Also, I'll create a restore point prior to installing this, but I don't know if the restore will catch this (seems insignificant).  If this doesn't work then I'm assuming I just need to reinstall the hidir.inf file - would that be correct?

Okay,

Here is my .INF file for review. 

As a note it appears that "suspend" and "discrete power off" are calling for the same command to be run which means "discrete power off" most likely will not shut the computer down.

I have set up the various color buttons and the teletext button to perform the following functions:  suspend, discrete power on, ctrl+alt+M, ctrl+alt+W, ctrl+alt+T (these will be assigned to shortcuts (one of which will run MediaBrowser)).

Please review and let me know if I'm on the right track:

Just at a quick glance (I can look at more carefully later if you'd like) you'll need to remove the last \ as the \ is an explicit line continuator.

Yes,  please. 

I will make that modification. 

Also, I still have a couple concerns that I questioned in the first post on page three.  It was difficult to locate the proper keyboard strings.  I had to cross reference the arrow pad hex codes to find the right one which ended up being the USB keyboard layout.

Your help is always appreciated,

bytor

 Have you got this working?

I am using a MX-880 and I was able to create some Hex codes for the Discrete On/Off; however I could only get discrete Off to work properly. 

BTW discrete off causes the computer to suspend (at least on my windows 7 computer) and not turn off

I went into the registry and debounce was enabled and I set the remote control ID to 0. Then I tried using Xbox 360 discrete codes, and the discrete On worked; but then the discrete off no longer worked!!

Here are the hex codes, maybe someone else can figure out why I am getting such weird results.

Meanwhile, the power toggle command continues to work flawlessly.

UPDATE: I got it working using the first set of codes; the discrete power off is a little finicky though.

I had everything set to go, but then I made a switch in MCEStandby by checking "assume unattended resume is recording or guide update" and my issue disappeared.  Everything works like I expect without doing any programming.  However, I still plan on getting around to setting up a Harmony button for MediaBrowser, but it isn't a priority for the moment.  If I am always working on the system it annoys my wife so I am taking a break.  Except she tells me "music" is acting up...always something...

bytor

Hmm, I never used that tool; looks complicated?

 Anyways, i figured out what the problem with my setup was.  Those codes listed above work perfectly

turns out the EnableDebounce code is supposed to be DISABLED for universal remote controls (it disables the MCE toggle bit)

After that everything works great!

I have tested these on a MX980 and a MX850 and they work for wake (power on) and sleep (power off). May I ask how you translated them into this format from the ones given earlier? Assuming that is what you did.

To generate the full primary and secondary list of hex codes using "makehex" the .irp files you need are:

primary makehex .irp:

Device=128.3972
Function=0..255
Define M=6
Define L=32
Define T=0

Protocol=RC6
Frequency=36000
Time Base=444
Message Time=107m
Zero=-1,1
One=1,-1
Prefix=6,-2,1,-1
First Bit=MSB
Default S=0
Form=;*,M:3,(4*T-2),(2-4*T),D:8,S:(L-16),F:8

secondary makehex .irp:
