Cannot Repeat Commands With Learning Remote

[doshin]

I've setup girder and my MCE remote control (MS Media Center Edition) to control Media Player Classic (and some other apps). Everything works perfectly.

However, when I tried to transfer the MCE remote control commands to my Sony learning remote, I cannot repeat the same commands twice. For instance, if I hit volume up, it works. If I hit volume up again, nothing happens. If I press a different button AND THEN volume up again, it works.

So basically, I cannot repeat multiple commands on my learning remote (which works perfectly with all my other gear).

Any ideas?

The MCE remote must be using RC 5 codes - which means each button produces 2 different ir codes which alternate. Not sure how you would solve this with your learning remote.

Well, I used logger and it only says that one event is sent. I don't know if this helps, but here is the event.

19:46:47.531	Thursday, November 11, 2004	EVENT:	Dev: 80	MCE000002B000

Again, everything works fine otherwise.

You only see one event from the receiver...

I would look in your learning remotes manual to see if the have anything on RC5 or visit www.remotecentral.com

Okay... I gotta ask... why?

Why do RC5 codes rotate like that?

I don't get it... why make a remote that does this?

There has to be a purpose... though I cant see it. I like remotes that "repeat" commands (x10 and ATI), but why alternate between 2 different codes?

Thanks Mike, I'll look into it. Keep up the good work!

I think its to keep track of discrete button presses
