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



Change

  • allow quick selection of a new TV/Radio station from a list


Customise

  • Add/Remove Favourite quick select channel Icons
  • Block remote control mode change icons on TV
  • Swap INFO and LIST commands
  • Disable Volume Control
  • 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

  1. Use ir -l to show code mappings.
  2. 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
  3. 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
