USB UIRT Blasting IR repeat problem

[carmenm]

Hi,

I have a problem with the blasting IR command of USBUIRT plugin.
I cannot have repeat =0 (tells me device not ready ) which means that if i want to blast an IR i must at least put repeat to 1 and the command will be blast at least twice.
The command is blasted only once when i "test" it.
Can someone help me?

Thanks

Hi Carmenm

I'm here looking for answers to the exact same problem. I can at least tell you my temporary (I hope) work around.

I set the "Wait XX ms of IR inactivity before transmission" to a number high enough that it ignors (I think) the first send and the device only receives the second one. The number seems to change for each function I'm using but it's usually between 80 to 150.

When I watch my usbuirt I can see the flash for the received code then immediately a second flash for the send code then about a second later another flash for the repeat send code. These settings seem to get it so the device only responds to the repeat send code.

The draw back is when I'm trying to scroll through something pretty fast, pushing the same button over and over, it sometimes misses some of the transmissions. It's not a big deal, I only notice it when something is moving at regular intervals then it pauses for a second.

Hopefully someone here can give us both a better solution.

Good luck
Rich

An USB-UIRT IR code can consist of two parts:
- a start code
- a repeat code
If you set the repeat count to 0, only the start code will be transmitted. But not all codes (actually only a few) use a separate start and repeat code. And even these codes seldom make sense with a repeat count of zero.

I've changed the control to limit on a minimum of one now. And with this setting I see no redundant repeat of the transmission. Don't get confused, because the USB-UIRT also flashes on reception.

=> 0.3.6.1437
