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 an alternative Remote Control Mode (1-6)
Also available in Web-If >> Settings >> Remote Control Settings
If you have forgotten which mode your original Remote Control is in, holding 0 + OK for 5 Seconds will reveal it on your TV screen
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
Selecting Record a New Macro will display a Name Box and some delay keys to create a pause in the sequence
