I seem to be having some problems with my new USB-UIRT and my Radio Shack 2117 8-1 remote. I am wanting to program girder with command to control mytheatre. I have found a GML file containing all the command you would want with mytheatre and all I have to do is have Girder learn the commands. I set up the key I want (open epg guide – key G). I select mytheatre from the list. I then click the learn command, place the remote like 3 inches away from the UIRT and girder picks up the command with no problems. The problem I am having is that it seems like the KEY or Code that the remote or girder detects changes. I have seen about 4 different codes for the same key pressed. I can click on the same command and learn the same key and it will come up with a different code. The codes usually start with like 390, 55*, 714, 80*. I noticed this problem when I went into mytheatre and sometimes it works on the first try. Other times it could take like 3 to 5 tries to get that code. I have also tried using a Dishplayer 7200 remote with all the PVR function keys. I still get different codes. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to learn these command under the USB-UIRT driver first? Any suggestions to my problem would be totally appreciated.

Make sure you aren't holding the remote to close to the uirt.

Hi ASiDiE,

I've seen this before. As I recall it was due to the remote. I think maybe you are using buttons that are not assigned to the product you have programed it for. If that makes any sense.

As in you can't use the tv/dvd/audio/ ect ect buttons.

Hope that helps

Hi! I had the same problem, but using serial hardware ( not USB-UIRT). The trick was to set the priority level from 7 (default) to 8 in: File> settings> plugins> Igor SFH-56 device> settings> advanced> priority level.
In my case the Igor SFH device plugin is needed ...I don't know if in your case too...if it is, than try to change the priority level setting, if it is not, than try to find a similar setting.
I hope this can help you.
Good luck!
