Hi Jan,

Good to hear that you now also got it working with the wheel. Can't wait to go home and try. 

I'll be back here in the forum with the results on sunday. 

Sacarino.

Its the right click thing, i've updated my firmware & the config software and it works without any problems.

So, have fun programming this weekend.😁

Sunday afternoon and here are my results:

- First of all. Yes, I did have success on using the "wheel right" to turn up the volume. Thank you Stephan 🤒 It worked perfect.

I've been playing a bit more with the Beo5 and have some comments and questions:

1) I realized that the configuration tool showed wrong commands in the 3PartyIR section. I pressed for example number "5" and it would show number "1" as shown in the picture.

The problem was in the XML file generated by the Lintronic transmitter. Looking in the generated XML file I found that ALL the commands with a "#IRSEQUENCE..." were wrong. So I deduced that all those commands were captured incorrectly. I found out that the Lintronic transmitter would some time read a different length than 680 (Samsung remote control) and that the different length resulted in those "#IRSEQUENCE..." strings. Just so you are aware of it and save time debugging it.  Login to view image

 2) What is the best way to include the channels of a non-B&O TV? I created a Scene called "Channels" where I dump all the TV icons, see the picture below.

In that way the channels are always accessible independently on which menu/submenu you are. Perhaps you have another approach?

3) I have a problem which I didn't solve yet. Animal Planet is in channel "2" so I assigned the command "2" to that icon. It works fine. However Discovery channel is in the TV channel "31" which means that Beo5 has to issue two commands. I added the commands "3" and "1" and when I press "Discovery" Beo5 freezes (it keeps sending the commands) and I have to turn it off. Have you experienced the same? It happends whenever I try to assign more than one command to an icon.

4) And the last question for now. Is there any way of programming the digits (lower-left button in the screen) to enter the channels of another TV. I tried right-clicking on them but didn't help 😕

 Regards,

sacarino

Sacarino,

Let me see if I can answer your questions.

1. I am assuming you used the latest release of the Lintronic software which allows you to creat an Beo5 XML directly from the timings. You may wish to use the XML Generator found on Beoworld and then you will not get those problems. See attached help file
   
2. Generally speaking you would have a channel button within the TV or STB section, but there is no problem in doing it the way you did.
3. Two issues likely here, first is that one or more of the RAW commands is incorrect and has left IR diode in the "on" state and also you will almost certainly need at least a 50 milli-second delay between sending the first digit and the second digit. This is best setup within the XML file before adding it to your configuration.
4. If you are using the Configuration Tool Version 3.0, then you cannot assigned the digits within the tool. However you can manually assign them in the XML file for the Samsung.

You may wish to capture the Samsung timings as defined in the attached help file and upload them

Hi Sacarino,

Regarding point 1 above: I encountered exactly the same problem as you when using the Lintronic box to convert my Pioneer plasma TV IR signals to an XML file. Those spurious lines in the XML file are generated by the Configurator program when you haven't correctly captured the IR commands, even though it may seem like you have when using the Lintronic box.

To ensure you have the signals correctly captured, the best way I found is to manually mark up the length of the timing diagram when you capture the signal. Then test it by using the TEST button on the timing diagram window to ensure your product reacts as intended. Once you've double checked all your commands in this way, you can then create your XML file. And you can also double check the XML file before loading it into the Beo5 CT to ensure it's written out the Raw commands properly - each one should be unique.

Hope that helps a little.

Cheers,

Matthew

Ah there it is, the Samsung digit problem J

I remember having the same problem as I did the programming for my old Samsung…

Do you have to press a button looking like this  -/-- on the original remote to switch from 1 digit to 2 digit input mode?

If so, you have to capture that button as well and add it to your buttons on the Beo5 as the Samsung panels don’t do it like normal TVs do:

Normal TV: If you want to go to channel 13, press 1 and then 3

Samsung TV: press -/-- press 1, press 3 and if you want to switch to 5 for example, press -/-- again…. Welcome to planet Brain-dead J

The Digit section of the Beo5 cannot be changed at the moment (I don’t understand why but you cannot change it…)

Good to see the progress of your programming J

Best

Stephan
