Rocky2418 Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 While waiting for my remote to ship, I figured I'd go ahead and set up my activities ahead of time in the software. (The software is very straightforward and nice to use, BTW.) Everything is all set except for one thing, mentioned in the title. The "Back" button is missing for the Roku Streambar device (the only Roku device in the list of audio devices). As that's one of my most used buttons, I'm hoping you can add it to the command list for the Streambar? (I know the process for adding a device now, but not one specific command to a device already in the database.) If it helps, I have an old Roku 2 media device I don't use anymore, and tried out the Back button on its remote - it worked fine on the Streambar. And I saw that the Roku 2 in your database does have the Back button in the list of commands. So I imagine you can just copy the code for that into the Streambar's list of commands? Let me know if you'll be able to get that added when you can. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky2418 Posted March 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 *bump* While I wait to hear back about this, I'll also mention that if there is a simple way to add a single command to an existing device in the database here on my end (since you're no doubt busy addressing many people's issues all at once), I'd be happy to do so for this case of the Roku Streambar's "Back" button - assuming that's possible for me to do myself.

Nathan Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 There are actually 2 ways to do this. One's easier but less clean. The simple way is to just add the Roku 2 to your activity that also has the Roku Streambar, then drag the back button onto your remote. If you don't like the idea of having two Rokus listed, or have hit your 8 device cap, add the Roku 2 to another activity, then export your Remote Configuration, open it with a text editor, and copy the back button from the Roku 2 to the Streambar list. Then re-import. It'll look kinda like this: {"label":"BACK","key":"15","signal":"0000,006D,0022,0022,0155,00AD,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,003F,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,05C0,0155,00AD,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,003F,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,003F,0015,003F,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,05C0","code":"0000,006D,0022,0022,0155,00AD,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,003F,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,05C0,0155,00AD,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,003F,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,003F,0015,003F,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,003F,0015,003F,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,0015,05C0","ir protocol":"PRONTO"}, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky2418 Posted March 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 Awesome, it seems like that worked - thanks! I had actually already done that easier method while waiting. As you said, it worked, just messier in the interface. The only adjustment I made to the code for that button was the "key" value. It had the value "14" in the Roku 2 section of the document, and the Streambar had its 19 existing commands taking up values 0 through 18 - so I copied it to the end of that section and changed the value from 14 to 19. I'm not sure if that was actually necessary, but it seemed like a good idea, just logically speaking. The "Back" button did indeed show up for the Streambar in the activity I was working with. Won't know for sure that everything will work till I get the remote, but it seems promising. Lastly, I noticed that the "Back" command didn't show up for the Streambar in my other activity, so I must have to add it in each one in the exported document - and that's fine. But maybe at some point you can go ahead and add that missing (but often used) button to the device in your database, so that it eventually won't have to get added on a case by case, activity by activity basis. Anyway, thanks again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we're all just kind of waiting for the next shipment of remotes, I thought I may as well revisit this in the meantime. It was over two months ago that you mentioned officially adding the missing "Back" command to the Roku Streambar, so that I wouldn't have to add it manually every time I make a new activity. I've checked the nightly updates various times since then, but see that it's still not there. Since there's not a whole lot going on right now, could you maybe get that added? As a reminder, the Back command from the "Roku 2" device is identical to that of the Roku Streambar, so the code can be taken directly from that. Should be pretty simple for you, I'm guessing. Get back to me about this when you can. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's make sure we have a Jira ticket assigned to me for every database post that is not in a 'solved' state. Can you help with that?

Rocky2418 Posted June 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 It's been another week and a half, and I see that the Back command still hasn't been added for the Streambar, as of the most recent update. Since it's unknown when the current shipment will get to you, could this just finally get added once and for all? I realize there's nothing to do but wait when it comes to the shipment, but this small thing should be able to be done pretty easily in the meantime, right?

It's not as easy as just modifying our database. Can't do that, it's commercially licensed and then we need to track everything. What we needed to do was create a way to make modifications to theirs during the build. So we came up with a method for merging/modifying/deleting entries during build. It's done, this is in there, but there are some bugs. I was hoping to release tonight, but we have to fix it first. Sometime early next week if not monday.
