I can't believe I didn't look this up before, but I already have a One For All Kameleon URC-9960 remote, and apparently this one is not only JP1-programmable, but it appears that it may have been used successfully with myth before. Checking in gossamer-threads indicates a few people have tried this and gotten it to work at least partially. One user indicated that there was a PVR code, 1992, that he downloaded from UEC via phone that was totally myth-compatible without the issues associated with some other VCR-based codes (
i.e. seek buttons not being on main display, etc).<br><br>Is anyone here using this successfully? Did you have to change your lircrc and lircd.conf files?<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>~Drew<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

> I have read that the buttons that will illuminate on<br>> the Kameleon remotes are fixed according to the device<br>> map in ROM (that is, if you program in a TV, then only<br>> the buttons for that TV will light up). If you use

<br>device you program it for. I've never tried JP1 with the remote though.<br><br><br>> If you program a disabled button with an EFC, will it<br>> light up (where previously it wouldn't because it was<br>> disabled)?
<br><br>You can only program buttons that already light up. This is still<br>advantageous as some buttons send the same IR codes (again, the exact<br>code sent for each button is dependent on what device you program the<br>
remote for).<br><br>These limitations aren't really a concern if you have a "universal" IR<br>receiver. This allows you to program the remote (with this remote it<br>really means programming each device the remote can control) to a device
<br>which "turns on" all the buttons. Then for any button that sends a<br>duplicate IR code you can use EFC to make it unique. You can then use<br>the power of lirc to map each IR code to whatever function you want.
<br><br>Note: I say universal IR receiver b/c I don't believe any RC5 (or<br>whatever codeset the Hauppauge cards support) compatible device the<br>Kameleon supports turns on all the buttons. Thus your IR receiver must<br>
be able to receive whatever codes the Kameleon sends when programmed to<br>a device that turns on all the buttons.<br><br>Hope I've helped more than I've confused!<br><br>Cheers<br>Kev<br></blockquote></div><br>
