    Thanks! I'll try that when I get home.

      Thanks! I see where that works. But I ended up putting it on the front left since there are no vent openings. The right side and along the front has the vent openings but I didn't see any on the left side. Although I guess it would really make much of a difference since the dongle is small.

        I have it under the front left edge as well. The smart card is on the right side.

          Has anybody tried this with RTI remotes?

                I apologize. I've been out of the loop for a while. Now that I see the IR dongles are for sale, I'm trying to determine the status of JP1 support.

                I've searched for 'vudu' in the jp1 files and forums sections with no luck. I think I can take the hex code from earlier in this thread and post it to the JP1 forums, but I just want to be sure that no one else has already done a conversion.

                My 15-2117 is ready to be the only remote in the living room again.

                  Nobody has yet stepped up to the plate on this. If you get the JP1 stuff completed for Vudu we'll dedicate a sticky to your efforts!

                    It turned out to be not as simple as I thought. A JP1 guru needs to create a new 'protocol executor' which I believe is the title of an upcoming Steven Segal movie

                      Funny I didn't see that one after his last appearance in "The Onion" movie.

                        Re: IR support

                        OK, the JP1 crew has done it. I can't really take much credit, myself. In cases like this, much smarter people have to write assembler code by hand to create a protocol. If you know much about JP1, you've heard of the Robman. He wrote the protocol code and got it spot on in the first try.

                        In Keymap Master:

                        Protocol: Manual Settings (paste the code for your remote's processor into the notes/3rd party protocol box)

                        Upgrade protocol 0 = 01 FF (S3C8+) Vudu (PB v4.00)
                        40 84 21 8B 13 CE 4C 08 08 01 18 03 16 01 18 01

                        46
                        End

                        OR

                        Upgrade protocol 0 = 01 FF (HCS08) Vudu (PB v4.00)

                        Assign your buttons and paste the results into IR

                        When my IR dongle came in the mail today, I couldn't wait to try out the upgrade code. I have it working on an HTPro and a 15-2117 now. The 'cobra' is getting put away.

                          Sweet...Now, I have a reason to get the JP1 cable and all - I need to add the codes so I can control the Vudu with my Slingbox!

                            Re: IR support

                            Wow, that's fantastic! I've copied your post into a new sticky thread in "First Time Setup" called "Programming a JP1 remote for Vudu", because that's where I think people will look for it.

                                Re: IR support

                                I uploaded the Keymap Master file that worked correctly on the first try with my 2117 and HTPro remotes: http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dl...e&file_id=5676

                                If you have one of the new Atlas style remotes, you have to follow the manual process in the above post to make your own keymap file. Someday, when I have some more time on my hands, I might try to reconnect with the guy who was writing custom code for the p8/740 remotes and try to write a protocol conversion for those. ( I still have two 15-1995s around here somewhere)

                                So, my wife knows I'm a geek, but I think she hurt herself rolling her eyes at me last night. My excitement while explaining how hex has to be converted to binary which has to be interpreted and decoded and then assembler code has to be written by hand by some guy named Robman was not reciprocated by her.

                                oh well.

                                ONE ROOM, ONE REMOTE! ONE ROOM, ONE REMOTE! ONE ROOM, ONE REMOTE!

                                ps: If you are not familiar with JP1, feel free to crack open a cold one and start reading: http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1009

                                the pertinent details in this post have been incorporated into the other sticky thread and I'll try to remember to only update the other one from now on....thanks MaxH
