    That's because you probably ran out of fingers and toes.

    Re: IR support

    I am installing a new MX-3000 and can not locate the IR codes for Vudu. I called URC and they did not seem to know anything. I have an email from Vudu customer support which tells me that the codes are already in URC's database. Can anyone send me the codes for the URC MX-3000, I think it requires CCF files. Thank you

    Got my old MX-500 to work ok with a macro.

    But was unable to train my Harmony with it, trying both the learn button and the learn raw button serveral times.

    But the Harmony did let me create enough startup entries to get it to work that way. But what a job it was.

    By taking advantage of the persistence of the sort-by attribute (i.e. I assumed it would be sorted the way I wanted it) I was able to cut the total button clicks to an even 20.

    I also had to play with the inter-device and inter-button delay settings to get it work properly.

    So that turned out to be a good, although arduous, suggestion on Max's part.

    But without trying to sound overly critical, because I'm really happy that I'm able to search and sort for movies as currently provided by VUDU, there just simply has to be a way to enhance the search feature to reduce the amount of clicks needed to search.

    Although I was able to take advantage of my expensive remote to a degree, I think a majority of owners will use the VUDU remote provided and won't have the luxury of doing what I did to make it a little easier.

    I still recommend that at least VUDU makes all the filter attributes persistent. With it that way, it would cut down the button clicks to do what I'm trying to do to approx. 8 clicks total (assuming I did the same search repeatedly of course). In addition if the cursor was set to the first search result, when entering the screen, instead of the top of search criteria list, that would reduce the clicks needed even more, down to about 3 clicks total.

    Thanks for the help
    Regards

    BTW Owls eat mice too!!!

    P.S.S. I would really like to know if Brain has ever made it all the way through a viewing of "Snakes on a Plane" ???

    You will need to be logged into the Harmony software and use the remote that you want to program. Then what you can do is setup the learn function and learn using "RAW" mode (It should still be there I did it last year to setup some TiVo Macros).

    When learning the IR codes in RAW you can do multiple presses of the sender remote (ie. right-right-right-select-select) and then stop learning and save it to a new function.

    I may try this tonight just to make sure its still works. I'd hate to lose my TiVo macro functionality.

    Ok here goes,
    Got my dongle today and was tired of waiting for URC to update the database. I tried to cut and paste the previously posted hex codes from the Pronto to the remote software and darn it, it works great!!!! I have posted the source files for a MX900 and MX850 in this message. Let me know if you have any questions.
