Many HTPC users need to create 100's of IR codes to "learn" into Girder. The use of manually created sequential RC5 codes is much easier than using the database to create these dummy device codes. It seems that RC5 codes often have two codes, one on the first button press, the other on the second press of the same button. This is problematic for obvious reasons. Does anyone know how to deal with this problem?
I have read that one could create two event-strings (Girders learned IR for a given command) to each command. This way either of the two IF codes generated by a given button would EACH/BOTH trigger the command. I have also read that by assigning a delay to the end of the Pronto command being learned into Girder may also help. Lastly I read that RC5 1 through RC5 5 do not have this dual IR issue. None of these solutions are great. Does anyone have a better approach/solution?
I have searched this site, that of Remote Central and AVS and am not finding much. Nor have i found any IR generators to create lots of IR code in systematic manner. In our case, we just need a large supply of code that will be assignable to dummy (i.e. software devices) and which will not likely conflict with real devices the HTPC/HT crowd would have.
The context of this question is that several uses at AVS Forum are working to create a library of pronto/girder combination files in a standardized format for everyone to share. This problem is limiting progress.
