Virgin Media TiVo V6 box - "Exit" button

[liambrown]

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!

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

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?
