Gary,

A very warm welcome to Beoworld..

Firstly, can I suggest you review the Beo5 web pages

Hi keith,

Thank you for you prompt reply, this is the only are of b&o were I feel a little bit out of my depth. Basically I thought I could download the codes from remote central and convert them to an xml file but I see in you're reply i'm well of the mark and obviously need some sort of device that reads reads Ir. coding. I would really like to learn how this done and would be very grateful for any more advice.

PRODUCTS

• SONY 40W4000
• APPLE TV
• VIRGIN MEDIA 
• PS3 WITH LOGITECH BLUETOOTH ADAPTOR
• WII
• ONKYO 607 RECEIVER  

Once again thank you Keith for your time and advice given 🙂

Gary,

For three of your 3rd party products I have already produced XML files.

If you can find Pronto HEX codes at remote central

Thanks for help Keith but i've had no luck in finding the hex files,  i think the best thing is to buy one of these contraptions that reads the ir coding of my products, it would be helpfull if you could point me in the right direction?

cheers 

gary

HI Keith,

sorry to bother you but which three of my produsts have you already got xml's for?

i'm not going to bother with the wii.

do you know if the sony trinitron xml will work on a sony bravia lcd?

I have found a link for the apple tv on here for the xml but the link is now dead ;(.

my onkyo reciever i cannot find my exact model number but i was thinking maybe the 700 model may have the same volume up and down and swirtching beween sources codes? i have found the hex codes on remote central but how do i import them into one file to be converted to xml ?

i have the logitech ps3 adaptor  xml which was kndly done by yourself.

This just leaves the samsung virgin media box which im currently searching for.

Cheers

G

UPDATE......

All i need now is virgin media, sony w4000 lcd and onkyo 607 receiver xml.

i found hex files for the onkyo here 

Gary,

I have converted all the Pronto HEX codes for the Onkyo TXSR-700 you found on the Remote Central web site and made a XML file for it with all the hard keys pre-assigned. You can download the XML file link which you should extract from the ZIP file to C:\ which will automatically put the file into the correct directory of the Beo5 Configuration Tool.

I also converted the Virgin Media V+ PUC file to an XML file for you to test which you can download link

I have previously produced two different Apple TV XML files. The first has the hard keys pre-assigned and can be downloaded link and the second provides a repeat function which can be downloaded

Keith YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!

DO YOU SELL THE SOFTWARE YOU USE TO CONVERT HEX FILES TO XML?

ALSO WITH THE XML GENERATOR YOU KNIDLY MADE FOR THE COMMUNITY, DO YOU USE A IR READER IF SO WHICH ONE WORKS BEST ?

THSNKYOU SO MUCH KEITH :) :) ;)

Gary,

Thank you for your kind feedback 😳

I do not sell, licence or distribute my software and it is ONLY on my system. I developed the software about a year after the introduction of the Beo5 to create working "Drag-n-Drop" 3rd party XML files which have the digits and hard keys pre-assigned because even today the B&O Beo5 Configuration Tool falls well short of requirements when it comes to third party products.

The software can use Lintronic timing output, any Pronto HEX codes, convert from any PUC entry, from directly entered RC5 or NEC codes and directly capture from an original remote in real time using an IR receiver connected to a USB port.

The Beoworld 3rd Party XML Generator is more limited and can only convert Lintronic timings to RAW or RC5 codes from manually entered data. It does not pre-assign any hard keys and as it only uses RAW which is an image copy of the original means it cannot handle repeat function used by many remotes. So, to use the XML Generator other than for manually entered RC5 codes requires you to purchase a Lintronic box and you can find more details
