WebIf Remote Controller
The IR package adds a fully functioning Remote Controller to the Web-Interface, It can be installed from the Web-If >> Package Management page and once installed a ‘Remote’ icon will be added to the Web-If Main screen
Channel Shortcuts

- Use Custom Map File
The custom map file must be named /mod/boot/ir3.map and be of the form <original keycode>:<replacement keycode>:<comment>. Here are some examples including a macro on the Subtitle button
0e:43:MENU -> INFO 1f::VOL+ disabled 40::VOL- disabled 4d:43:LIST becomes INFO 43:4d:INFO becomes LIST 46:40,40,40,f2,c,3,a:Subtitle button = VOL-, VOL-, VOL-, WAIT 2 seconds, 0, 1, 8
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 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

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/
