iRule - Page 272

I was wondering if this would be a correct representation of the pinout for the Monoprice Matrix switches?

Thanks.

Monoprice sell the insertion/extraction tool but it looks like it's currently out of stock.

Amazon have it for a few dollars more (link).

For those setting up iRule for use with JVC D-ILA projectors, here is a neat document I ran across:

http://support.jvc.com/consumer/support/documents/DILA_Remote_Code_Emulation_Long_Hex.pdf

Now, if only I could come accross something similar for my JVC HR-S3600U VCR! (Yes, VCR!!!)

Using iRule's discrete codes for JVC VCR, I got it working to power on and power off, but I can't get it to do anything else. And, I don't have the 2 things I need - the original (or any working) remote nor an IR Learner.

Any help would be greatly appreciated here!

I just figured out my delima!!! I feel stupid.

It appears that some years back (when or why, I don't know) I switched my VCR to remote mode (B). That's why all the commands I have been trying to send to it have been in vain. I found a codelist for the B codes, and it's now working great!!!!

As Brother Dave says: Kick Thy Own Self

Picked one up, thanks.

Can anyone who has set up iRule for use with a Mede8ter product share how they set up the gateway? The codes were uploaded by AVS member Bombino; just not sure how he might have set up the gateway.

Thanks,

Willie

This was in the notes(review) for a Mede8er device listing - maybe give these gateway settings a try:

Works with all mede8er X2 models.

Settings iRule:
Gateways: HTTP
Address: ip address of your Mede8er
Port: 1024
HTTP Method: Get

I am using the ‘Denon Receiver/Preamp AVR Series Main Zone’ device to copy commands to my iRule panel. I am not able to see any commands that will support remote functions such as ‘Info’, ‘Back’, ‘Option’, ‘Setup’ amongst others. Some of these functions are critical to properly use the receiver. What are my options?

You can learn them if you have an Itach, it has a built in learner. I have a Denon 1908 avr and the only button that I needed from the remote that was not part of the command library for the device you have listed was RETURN. I used the itach to learn it, here is the working RETURN command in hex format:

Hope that helps.

I had set HTTP to Post. Thanks! Works as advertised.

I was introduced to iRule at the recent audio show in Chicago at AXPONA. Loved the entire idea.
Now i am looking forward to converting my setup to using irule as well.

Please help me choose the hardware from the entire list of options mentioned at iRules website, I am looking at Global Cache GC-100-12... found one pretty cheap on ebay for 60 bucks, is it a good one?
I will be using irule for my dish 722k receiver, Denon 4311CI, Samsung LCD, HTPC, Xbox, Oppo BDP-105 Player.

Is the GC-100-12 a good option for me? If not what else?
Please guide, i am totally new to this, and looking forward to this technology with enthusiasm.

Also one of my take-aways from Axponia. If you continue down this road; I hope you share.
I am very interested.

iRule 3.0, now available in the App Store. Lots of cool new features!

Hi holyindian,

I may have run into you at AXPONA if you were there on Friday!

The ebay GC-100's are fine if you're technically-inclined. Most of them have older firmware, so come up with a specific static IP, requiring you to create a separate network to configure. There's discussion about it a half-dozen or so pages back. If you're comfortable with that, you'll be fine. The ebay GC-100's also don't typically come with emitters. They're cheap, but it's something to be aware of. The only other limitation to the GC-100 is that they only allow one client connection at a time. That's not usually a problem for a dedicated room, but it's worth mentioning.

722k receiver - IR
Denon 4311CI - IP
Samsung LCD - IR
HTPC - IP
Xbox - IR
Oppo BDP-105 Player - IR or RS232

So, that's 3-4 IR devices, a couple of IP devices, and potentially an RS-232 device if you want feedback from the Oppo. If you want to go on the cheap, and you can handle the technical side, the ebay GC-100 should be fine. Just to double-check... You'll need wired network in the equipment rack/closet/location.

If you can run an emitter to the TV, the GC-100 is also fine. If you can't run an emitter and have to use an IR blaster instead, the GC-100's do require a special powered blaster. The newer iTach devices are nice because they come with emitters AND a blaster. But, you'll spend more money for two iTach's if you want IR and serial.

Lots of info and options, so if you have questions, ask away!

Does anyone have an NBC Sports button in white glass? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
jc

Yes, please specify image size (Retina, iPhone, iPad, Android)

mborner

That would be for iPad.

jc

Anyone having issues with the new version? Downloaded it on my iPad1 and it was totally unstable. Deleted it, downloaded it fresh but can't do anything before it kicks it self out and back to the home page.
Uh Oh...

Working fine here. iPad, IOS 5, retina display. I've been using it all day. Been completely stable.

iPad1, ios 5.1.1 no joy.

Hi barrygordon,

are there any news with regard to a device file for Yamaha RX-Z11/DSP-Z11 AV receiver/amplifier? As far as I know, HTTP POST command support has been involved in iRule in the meantime... It would be nice that the file has been written since then as Z11 protocol requirements are rather demanding for amateur iRule users.

Sent you a PM.

Got it and the button. It worked perfectly. Thank you very much!!
jc

There's a device called "Yamaha AVR HTTP Control - Zone 1" (and similar devices for other zones). It doesn't mention the Z11 explicitly, but it's worth trying.

So I got my Digi PortServer set up and running yesterday. I just tested one component to ensure my pin-out research was accurate. The receiver I tested also has IP control, but I was just wondering what is the difference between IP and RS-232 when using a Digi PortServer? It seemed like really fast response, but maybe that doesn't matter. Is it the feedback you can get from RS-232 that gives it an edge, if there is one?

Thanks.

Mark

It depends on the device, but the available commands and feedback are probably almost the same whether you use RS-232 or IP (and of course the latter is not going through the Digiport at all).

Some devices only allow one IP connection at a time, so by going RS-232 via the Digiport (which allows multiple IP connections) you would gain the ability to use multiple handsets at the same time.

The tool lets you remove the pins from the front and reconfingure if you screw it up. FYI I went through this process quite a whiles back and documented it very very well previously in this thread. Not to be an RTFM or search guy but you should search for my posts in this thread about it. I run an onkyo receiver, a marantz receiver and a lumagen as well as some other devices all documented. Take a look and I am sure it will help. I don't recall the details but they are there for anyone (including my reference) in the future.

Thanks and good luck!

Neil

Any one else having trouble with an ipad one and the latest update? This post has me worried to try it....

Yes, from the sounds of it, there's a bug with the new version and old iPad on 5.x... Hold off from updating for now if you a device running iOS 5.1.

SC

Thanks, kriktsemaj99, for your assistance. Is there any member of the community having Z11 that could try the device file and let us know if it works in iRule with Z11? Or if anyone else knows for sure which device file works with Yammy Z11?

Or maybe barrygordon could assist about the issue again? I would be very grateful...
