Hi,

I am trying to decode the signal from a remote for a Metz TV. When I press a button, e.g. volume up, the following shows up in the log:

-9765000

+916 -2256 +473 -888 +478 -887 +474 -1584 +478 -1585 +478 -887 +474 -1584 +478 -887 +474 -887 +474 -1589 +473 -887 +478 -887 +474 -1585 +478 -1584 +474 -887 +479 -1584 +478 -888 +473 -1584 +477 -1584 +452 -914 +473 -907 +454 -1589 +474 -887 +478 -1584 +478
-125000

+927 -2244 +473 -887 +474 -887 +474 -1588 +474 -1588 +474 -887 +478 -1584 +473 -887 +478 -888 +473 -1585 +478 -887 +473 -888 +474 -1588 +474 -1588 +474 -937 +397 -1615 +473 -887 +492 -1569 +504 -1558 +478 -886 +474 -886 +478 -1583 +474 -886 +478 -1583 +504

How do I decode this? If I run irtools on the long lines I get:

"C:\Program Files (x86)"\Flirc\irtools.exe decode --raw="+915 -2256 +474 -888 +478 -887 +474 -1585 +505 -1558 +479 -887 +478 -1585 +474 -888 +478 -888 +474 -1585 +478 -888 +474 -887 +478 -888 +478 -883 +478 -887 +478 -1585 +478 -887 +474 -1584 +479 -1584 +478 -1584 +505 -1562 +474 -1588 +474 -887 +494 -1568 +478"
+915 -2256 +474 -888 +478 -887 +474 -1585 +505 -1558 +479 -887 +478 -1585 +474 -888 +478 -888 +474 -1585 +478 -888 +474-887 +478 -888 +478 -883 +478 -887 +478 -1585 +478 -887 +474 -1584 +479 -1584 +478 -1584 +505 -1562 +474 -1588 +474 -887 +494 -1568 +478

:: ARDUINO  :: UNKNOWN       - scancode: 0x72EA1B45 {32}

If I remove all newlines and try to decode that the errors look much worse.

Any ideas?

Hi,

so I dug a bit more into this and the problem is that I don't know how to feed the logged raw signals to irtools. I tried IrScrutinizer (https://github.com/bengtmartensson/IrScrutinizer/releases/tag/Version-2.4.2). When I import the excerpt from the log as "Raw, line based" from the clipboard, it gives me two commands to decode and the second one, e.g., resolves to a pronto code of

0000 006D 0019 0000 0022 0055 0012 0022 0012 0022 0012 003C 0012 003C 0012 0022 0012 003C 0012 0022 0012 0022 0012 003C 0012 0022 0012 0022 0012 003C 0012 003C 0012 0022 0012 003C 0012 0022 0012 003C 0012 003C 0012 0022 0012 0022 0012 003C 0012 0022 0012 003C 0012 076C

So, the information in the log is correct and useful, I just don't know how to feed it to irtools.
