jason Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 Current Device List SkipApp - Device List.csv is a consolidated device list of SkipApp our supported devices. One thing to note, there are more categories here than in our current app. We consolodate these, and overlap some devices. So some might show up in A/V and Audio. To distinguish, we have added the category in parenthesis to our device list: In the SkipApp, the Misc. Category contains everything. Manually Importing a device For now, the only way to import a device is to enable our Admin Mode. Do so with the following: Mac Instructions: In a terminal: echo -e "{\n \"showAdminPanel\": true\n}" > ~/.config/SkipApp/config.json Windows Instructions: Copy the config.json to the following location: %localappdata%\Packages\SkipApp_sddpyax1dmvqm\LocalState\ If done properly, you will see the admin tab: File Format The next thing you'll need is a comma delimited text file and the pronto codes. The text file name gives us the Device, and Category. You can put a device in multiple categories: File Name: Brand-Model-Type1#Type2#...#TypeN.txt, where Type must be one of these values: TV, SetTopBox, Audio, AV, Games, PC, Home, Misc Example: Samsung-SN112024-AV#PC.txt The content is a comma delimited file where we give the name, and the pronto code. For example; CURSOR UP, 0000 006D 0014 0000 00BC .... CURSOR DOWN, 0000 006D 0014 0000 00BC .... Add this to the app Admin/Brands Tab with the Add button. Once done, you're device will show up in the app's wizard for you to assign buttons. Please share devices here and I will include them in the software for the community. Further Information There is an additional file format that I will document later that supports other types of code formats. Including a raw encoding, NEC, etc. You can find Pronto codes across the internet. This will get much easier over time. We will support learning in the software, and a direct way to share with the community. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeP Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 I have a Yamaha RX V-1000 AV receiver, which is not in the database, and I followed the directions above but when I went to import, I get an error saying the format is invalid. I noticed in the Admin panel that the expected format is a json file. I believe I have a properly formatted file and when I found a relevant forum post I believe my format is correct. What am I missing with my file? I have attached what I found and here is where I got the codes. https://www.remotecentral.com/cgi-bin/codes/yamaha/rx-v1000/ This is a fantastic product and I cannot wait to start using it with my devices. Thank you and the team for all the hard work. Yamaha-RXV1000-AV.json Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a vim expression that should work: %s/"0000,\(.*\)"/"0000,\U\1"/g Here is a fixed json attached. Let me know if this works with your device. I'll add it to the database. I will also make it so import converts to uppercase automatically. And thank you for the positive feedback, really means a lot.

MikeP Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 I was able to successfully test power on, power off, mute, volume up, and volume down. I made a couple of changes to the json file to properly label the power functions and added a devices.av type.

splice Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 If I am equipped with a Harmony IR remote, a FLIRC USB IR receiver and a Skip 1s, is there any way for me to either export pronto codes from harmony or its software, or use the FLIRC IR receiver to capture and give me the pronto codes for a button press?
