Notes
#Use ir -l to show code mappings.
#Delays can be added to macros by using fX where X is the number of seconds to wait as a hex digit, so f1 for a second, f9 for 9 seconds, fb for 11 seconds up to fe for 14 seconds
#Web-If >> Diagnostic >> File Editor >> /mod/boot/ir3.map shows the default code mapping
 

*Select Remote Control Mode (1-6)

Note:- this setting will only take effect after a reboot and will only change the 'ir' Mode, it will not change the Humax Operating Mode (See Below) or the [[Fixes_/_Work_Arounds_for_Known_Bugs#Multiple_Humax_Remotes | '''Remote Control Mode''']]

The Customise options are also available  in Web-If >> Settings >> Remote Control Settings,

==Macros==

* record a sequence of key strokes, to be replayed with a single 'click'
* A Macro named root will automatically be run when the Humax is taken out of standby
* Macro sequences are stored here :- /mod/etc/webif.db, macros can be transferred to another unit by copying this file

Selecting Record a New Macro will display a Name Box and some delay keys to create a pause in the sequence

==History==

Displays a clearable list of commands sent

==Mobile Version==


There is a mobile version of the Web-If Remote Controller that is more suited to the ‘small screen’. If the IP address of your humax is 10.0.0.200 then the mobile version’s address would be :- http://10.0.0.200/plugin/ir/m/

There are three selectable screens that display  Remote - Favs - Macros


==Command Line Options==

The IR package is also controllable as a command line via Telnet, here are some examples :-


humax# status
Watching 7: BBC THREE - This Is BBC Three (05:30 - 18:58) [48%]

<span style="background:#FFFF00"> ir SEVEN DELAY1 TWO OK </span>

SEVEN (0x9)

DELAY1 [delay between 1-99 Seconds]

TWO (0x4)

OK (0x13)

humax# status
Watching 72: CITV - Horrid Henry (12:00 - 12:15) [13%]


==Remote Control Mode Setting (Humax)==

From the command line enable the TV screen Mode Display / Set function with:-

<span style="background:#FFFF00"> ir CURMODE MODE </span>

To set the Humax to Remote Control Mode 1 from the command line :-

<span style="background:#FFFF00"> ir CURMODE MODE DELAY2 MODE1 </span>

This will change the Expected Mode on the Humax's Operating system only, it will not change the Mode on the Remote Control or the Custom Firmware's ir package itself

To change the Mode on the Remote Control see link [[Fixes_/_Work_Arounds_for_Known_Bugs#Multiple_Humax_Remotes | '''HERE''']]

To change the Custom Firmware ir Mode see Customise >> Select Remote Control Mode above


'''NOTE'''

----

The Web-If Remote Controller can only control your Humax, the 'TV' 'DVD' and 'AUDIO' mode buttons will not control other equipment
