    Re: IR support

    Hi I was wondering if anyone could give me some insight as to how to set-up my harmony pro 890 to work with the new IR dongle. I was able to add the box as a digital set top box. However, I was not able to create an activity that utilized the device after trying several options. It never offered the Vudu box as an option no matter what kind of activity I tried to set up (watch tv, watch dvd, watch pvr, watch pc, etc.) Thanks for your help.

        Great file. Now my Pronto 9600 remote works with Vudu over netremote.
        I wish this file came out before I ordered the IR dongle.
        No need for it now.
        A few problems though.
        The text input does not work with my remote.
        I can use the scroll wheel to highlight and enter text but I can not use the direct entry by typing the letters.
        There is no response when I touch any of the alphanumeric inputs.
        Also the scroll wheel in the normal Vudu screen works fine.
        When I scroll clockwise the curser moves to the right. When I scroll counterclockwise the cursor scrolls to the left.
        But when watching a movie if you scroll clockwise the movie will rewind.
        If you scroll counter clockwise the movie fast forwards.
        I would think it should work clockwise ff, counter clockwise rewind.
        Other than that it works great!!
        Thank you!!

          It's weird that the text input doesn't work. There shouldn't really be a difference between the two prontos. ...unless the labels are handled differently - I'm using the label of the button as the character to send.

          Can you try to put the character directly into the netRemoteButton() call instead of using "label"?

          The problem with the wheel (as well as the direction buttons) in netremote is known and will get fixed. It has been fixed for IR to some extent... If it was a vertical scroll wheel it would behave the same as the VUDU remote. But with a horizontal wheel it seems the direction seems reversed...

          B.t.w. the new trickmode buttons (fast forward, rewind and skip forward/backward) are not supported yet in netremote. I had to cheat and use the IR commands in my sample configuration...

            ...oh yeah, and I hope that I'll also get my hand on a 9600 to play with it, I mean test netremote on it as well.

              I tried what you said and it still does not work. I am not good at pronto script, did you want me to just replace the word label with the letter. I tried all these combinations:
              netRemoteButton("key","value",a)
              netRemoteButton("key","value","a")
              netRemoteButton(a)
              netRemoteButton("a")
              netRemoteButton("key",a)
              netRemoteButton("key","a")

                This should be the correct comand:

                netRemoteButton("key","value","a");

                ...but I also just realized that I must have broken something in the code. It doesn't work on the 9400 anymore either.

                Will look into it right now and get back to you.

                  Re: IR support

                  ...found the problem. I recently rewrote the way I was sending the netremote commands to the VUDU box and broke the letter/number functionality in the process. My apologies...

                  ...here is the fixed version.

                      B.t.w. you won't have to replace everything. The fix is in the pronto script code in the advanced tab of the device properties of the netremote device. You can just copy and past the new code into your own project.

                        No updates have been made available for the Universal Remotes (URC) as of yet. Has anyone converted Pronto to Universal Remote (URC) codes?

                          We will get you information on this.

                            The last I heard from Universal Remote (Monday) was that the VUDU box will be in their database by Thursday. It will be in the AUX category.

                              I tried the new code. Works perfect now. Thanks for your help.

                                You know, maybe Vudu has the 30 day return policy on the IR dongle... Since you no longer need it...
