IR control of setup boxes
« on: August 04, 2014, 06:24:11 am »
Now that I have two set top boxes being controlled by MC, I am seeing some differences in how they handle the IR control.  One of them seems to work fine everytime.  The other one seems to drop a number periodically causing the box to not change channel.  I have posted before about using tcp or serial to communicate with these boxes and in one of those threads (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=74398.0) Jim mentioned changing the delay time between sending numbers to box.  Is this something that I can change?  I looked and I didn't see anyplace where this was user configurable, but I may have missed it.

Thanks,

Alex

Sorry, channel-changing IR blaster delay is hard-coded.  I should make it configurable.

Have you tried changing the position of the blaster?  The performance is quite sensitive to the position.

I haven't tried that, I will give it a shot tonight.

Thanks,
