Xfinity XR2 Remote

[thedave1022]

I cant seem to get this programmed. I see some older threads with similar issues.

I can bind a few keys, but eventually run into the Button already Exists bug.

With any layout, for the arrows and OK, Prev, I can only get the following programmed.

I'm on the latest download for the GUI/firmware. I have the metal model.

This remote uses XMP protocol which is quite complicated. I don't think this can be easily fixed.

From what I can see, the remote can be set to also control a TV. Have you tried using it in TV mode to control Flirc?

Wouldnt my harmony remote 880 at least be able to set it up properly in that case? Seems it reads the commands exactly the same

[yawor]

Can you explain it better what are you trying to do? What does the Harmony have to do with the Xfinity?

[thedave1022]

I think I figured this out using my harmony remote. I Setup my source for Raspberry Pi and had to manually configure Up, Down, Left, Right, OK, Previous to use the TVs buttons. Once I did that, Flirc was able to detect the proper keys. Otherwise I had to set my harmony to the TV device, and then it would send commands as well. Using the xfinity remote itself, it wont learn the commands.

Any Progress on the XR2 remote?  It appears mine programs, but it doesn't actually work...

I symlinked readline 6 to readline 7 to get flirc_util to work.  Probably better not to strip the binary.
