Novice Girder User - Can't Learn IR Codes

[dcoufal]

Hi,

I'm using 3.0.20 with the Evation IrMan. I have the Evation IrServer disabled. I'm using Windows ME.

I have two problems that may or may not be related.

Problem (1): When I try to Enable the UIR/Irman, I get a "Cannot read 1st char" error message. The only way I can get rid of this error message is to check "Skip UIR Init Check".

Problem (2): When I try to learn codes from a variety of remotes (Panasonic DVD, Pronto, Sony), nothing is ever learned. The message window states "Waiting for IR Code", but I never get a confirmation message that the code was learned.

I know my IrMan is working, since if I use the Evation IrServer software to learn codes, it works perfectly. (Note that I did try using Girder both with the IrServer running and with it not running ... same results)

I notice from the old eGroup/Yahoo archives that a couple of others were having the same problems a couple of months ago. I don't know if those problems were ever resolved, but my problem sounds similar.

I suspect problem (1) and problem (2) are related.

I hope I haven't missed anything obvious. TIA for your help.

dcoufal,

Sounds like you could try to change the comport that the plugin uses. After changing the comport be sure to disable and enable the plugings (F9, F9)

Alternativly you can download the IRserver plugin for girder.

Kind regards,
Ron

Thanks Ron,

Changing the comport didn't work, but the IrServer plugin works flawlessly.

Thanks for the tip!
