Add me to the list for the XML macro training

Side note : I also thank Keith for his skills. He may not be a genius, but he is surely excellent. And he has done more to the Beo5 than anyone at B&O ever did. If a lot of people here use a Beo5 on a daily basis, there's usually something from Keith behind that.

People with Beo5 and no contact with Keith tend to place this remote on a box and only use Beo4, when they don't directly sold it on eBay...

mbee: I would echo those sentiments exactly.

Without Keith, and others on this forum, I would not have even bothered to buy one. Thanks to them I am able to fully program it to control pretty much whatever I like in the way that I like, which makes it a very powerful remote indeed.

I agree - the only reason people would have it either in a box or gathering dust is because they have yet to go down the self programming route to discover it's potential.

PLease count me in too!

PLease add me to !

Hello Keith,

Count me in!

Kind regards,

Yann.

Based on the response I received, clearly there is a requirement for everyone to understand how to manually add macros to a 3rd party or any other type of XML file.

I have created a technical web page on the subject in the form of a mini training session which you can view

First I want to thank Keith for providing such profound information here to us. I am using Beo5 and the config tool for about two moths. There are several situations, where I was forced to modify the confguration file manually due to limitations of the config tool. Fortunately I never had problems asigning macros mixing b&o and 3rd Party IR codes to a button or hardkey. What is the aspect of 3rd Party macros dicussses in this thread? Could someone explain please. I'm a little bit confused.

What a pitty that no one wants to explain ......

Nevertheless I want to share the product XMLs I created. I'm using them in my setup BV10-45/BS2 + JVC Beamer + DNP Screen.

Additionally I use the BEO5 to controll a Loewe TV.

Feel free to use them and give me feedback. I you encounter problems I'll like to provide a modified version.

hfat,

Thank you so much for posting your 3rd party XML files which I am sure will be very helpful to many other members.

Its good that you have had no problems using macros, the problems really depend which screen you are on, so the way you have produced your configuration may not show an issue, which is good.
