infinitytec Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 I just got my remote today! The software has been a bit buggy but definitely usable. Some things I have discovered that I would like to share: I'm using an Onkyo TX-SR393 receiver (remote RC-970R). It currently is not supported in Skip App 0.9.4, which isn't a big deal except for input switching. My Blu-Ray Disc player is a Sony BDP-S185 (remote RMT-B118A). The default profile is pretty good, but one issue I discovered is that just having play be the option on the play/pause button removes the ability to pause. Setting the button to send the pause command resolves the issue and the play/pause button acts as expected. I can turn my Xbox One S console on, but am unable to turn it off, at least with the default mapping. Some day one thoughts: I really think we need the ability to add custom codes. I get that this can cause some complexity, but I'd rather be able to add a custom code and be able to at least use some device functions rather than having to use a separate remote until the device gets added. I'd like to have long-press and double-press commands. For example, pressing the stop button could stop disc playback, but then pressing and holding it could eject the disc. Keep it up! My end goal is to replace at least four remotes with this! My config is well on its way to replacing the TV, Blu-Ray, and Xbox media remotes. The receiver will (obviously) have to come later and once I can have more than three profiles I'll set up one for PC use (likely Jellyfin and/or Kodi) and maybe even see if I can get it working with a VCR.

jason Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 Thanks so much for the helpful feedback, that was great. You can add custom codes now, I just need to document how to do it. It's really easy, you drop codes into a human readable file, and load it into the app. I would like others to share it and I'll incorporate them into updates. If you've found any of the codes, I can put together a tutorial on this. But none of these worked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinitytec Posted January 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 Nope, none of the options worked. Where in the app would I go about loading the codes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fardi273 Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 I have similar receiver as yours, you may want to try this. I'm using Onkyo TX-NR686 (Remote RC-911R). It works well with Skip 1s for volume control and input switching. I selected this model in the Skip app: TX/DTR/DHC Series Main Zone All Models (Receiver/Preamp) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinitytec Posted February 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 The Onkyo GXW config seems to be working better now. Maybe it was the firmware update? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted February 19, 2023 Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 Very possible. I will include the next firmware version shortly, but my main focus now will be on learning codes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
