Bugzilla – Bug 412
Firmware >23 needs one Slimdevices IR code before recognizing JVC codes
Last modified: 2004-08-31 20:57:46 UTC
Annoying behaviour when using JVC codes (which I always use from my universal remote). Seems that when starting from a cold boot the squeezebox needs one IR signal (any will do) from the slimdevices squeezebox remote before it will recognize *any* IR signals from the JVC codes. I have tracked this down: it was broken between firmware 23 and 24; i.e. 23 works and 24 does not. I marked it as major because I now need two remotes until it is fixed.
Have you managed to replicate this yet at slimdevices? The remote juggling is getting more annoying every day (especially for the wife who is not quite the afficinado of remotes that I am ;-). It is particularly bothersome since it used to work great. I am surprised that I seem to be the only one using the JVC codes.
Sort of just bumping this bug. Since I am back from holidays it has reasserted itself as a major PITA. Any progress on replication or a fix?
With the latest version of the firmware (31) this bug still exists. Is there any time available for confirming and fixing or will I have to buy other (ie. learning) universal remotes to control my Squeezeboxes? I.E. are the JVC codes not going to be considered supported any longer?
Bug confirmed. Will investigate soon. BWT I expect you can problably un-wedge it using any remote that send NEC codes (most remotes beside JVC and Sony).
Hey thanks for the tip! It give a much more elegant work around since I can just adjust the volume of the AMP (which is in the same mode as the slim JVC control) to shake things loose. At least I am down to one remote. Don't know why I didn't notice this before.
Seems fixed for me in 34. I'll close and reopen if it shows up again.
