Shameless self bump :(

Over 3 months and no news on getting this device added? I appreciate you are very busy but you may be want to change your wording on your website if this isn't the reality right now. From your website: "The Skip 1s database of remotes is vast and ever growing. If something is missing, we'll add it in a snap." Thanks for all your continued great work! Hope you can help me!

Yeah same, I've got it on yellow and it works. Would be nice to be able to have something on colour->middle if an easy code change

Ah yeah, sorry I did that tweak too, forgot to mention! How do you view the remote logs out of interest? Might help me with some other bits

I think I recall @jason saying that the latest version of the app no longer accepts the .txt files right now. The python script is on I used this python script to successfully get a JSON file that worked. Good luck!

Okay, so it then stopped responding at all. I changed the batteries and it is all working fine now. Kind of odd failure mode for "my batteries are running low" but all good.

I have been using the Skip remote (fairly) successful for a few weeks now. However yesterday something bad started happening. When I press any of the buttons that do multiple commands (are we calling these macro buttons? e.g. power on a few things, or some I have assigned to other buttons that do multiple things), it seems to only do the first function and stops. Previously it would light up the rainbows on the led wheel to show it was doing stuff in the macro, but now it just quickly flashes up the rainbow LEDs for a fraction of a second and then the LEDs go off. Anyone else seen this? Any ideas how to fix? It's making it mostly unusable.

https://forum.flirc.tv/index.php?/topic/11418-any-way-to-get-the-json-for-device/&do=findComment&comment=29399 is where Jason advised how to do it with the flirc irtools.exe on Windows. I've had mixed success with it (sometimes the IR I capture just doesn't work) but certainly has helped me get a few missing buttons sorted. Hope this helps.

None of the Samsung profiles in your database work for this Blu-ray player. Please can you add to the database. Thanks

Not sure if anyone else is getting the same with the Virgin Media V6 box, but seems to not want to respond at all to any button presses when you are a few metres away? Up close (and even from say 2 metres away) it is working spot on. At longer range all the other devices are fine, and other remotes (e.g. original and harmony) are fine controlling this device from this distance. Is this something that can be caused by the IR codes not being quite right or is it just a limitation of the skip and/or v6 box that I will have to live with?

I have captured the IR via Flirc USB for the Samsung BD-E5500 and put into the JSON format - attached. However, when I try to "Add" this via the "Brands" admin page, I get the following error: Firstly, is there anywhere I can get more details of the specific error? Debug logs etc? If not, then is this something that you could add. A bit of trial and error with the JSON file, I can see that in this case the problem is actually that it doesn't like my pronto codes. If I replace the pronto codes with ones I know the app is happy with (from another random device) then it imports it fine. Can you see what is wrong with my pronto codes in the attached JSON please? Samsung-BD-E5500-AV.json

Captured the IR for the "Back" button and hooked up with existing settings from your TiVo V6 Set top box device already in the app. I put this into a custom device JSON (imported via Admin>Brands etc) to test it was working and hooray, it works! The relevant portion from my device JSON for you: { "label": "BACK", "code": "0000,006D,0009,0000,0023,001F,0045,001E,0023,0041,0045,0041,0045,0041,0044,0020,0023,001F,0023,0042,0044,0D85", "protocol": "PRONTO" } If you could include that with the TiVo V6 set top box device config in the next release then that would be great @jason

An upvote from me for play/pause toggle functionality

You have a button on this device's mapping labelled incorrectly. The Skip app says it is "Exit" but it is actually the "Clear" button on the original remote. Please can this be fixed. (This is particularly troublesome because the list of recordings on the TiVo box uses "Clear" for delete - so I tried to just exit the list of recordings but ended up deleting a recording) If you could also add the mapping for the "Back" button for this device then that would be great (as that is what I thought "Exit" would be and it appears to be missing from the device's mapping in Skip). If not easy to come by I can attempt to capture the IR/fiddle. Thanks again!

In the Skip app it lets you assign actions to the central button after the colour button, i.e. press the colour button (above mute button) then press the middle button: However, when I then come to press that on the actual remote to fire those actions it doesn't do anything (well it lights up the ring with my remotes colour but doesn't trigger the actions)? Are you supposed to be able to assign actions to the colour button>central button and them work?
