Issues programming Beo5

19 replies

Hi

 

I have a beo5 remote which I have programmed to control my stereo with the standard RC5 codes. A lot of the things work like they are supposed to however there are som issues. I am trying to get the wheel to control the volume but when I assign volume to it when I then use the wheel it continues to send either vol + or vol - until i press another button. Not quite what I had imagined. Any thoughts?

 Further I want to send several commands at a time. When I add more than one command the following commands are not sent. Only the first one. Anyone??

Lastly I want to get the codes for my pioneer TV and other 3rd party products. How do I obtain these codes without the lintronic box and software?

Any help is appreciated

By the way my firmware is 1.30a and software 1.30

A Very warm welcome to Beoworld.

First, I am assuming that you have already had a look at the Beo5 Information and Resource web pages HERE

I am assuming that your Beo5 is currently using firmware 1.34a, if so currently you will need to use soft volume buttons on the screen when using RC5 protocol.

I did not really understand your statement which said

Further I want to send several commands at a time. When I add more than one command the following commands are not sent. Only the first one. Anyone??

Because you did not show any following commands, please supply the list of commands you have in your macro.

If 3rd party products are listed on remotecentral.com in Pronto HEX format, then these can be converted without the need of a Lintronic or similar converter.

Hi Keith

 Thank you so much for your reply. How do I convert the codes from remotecentral to be used with Beo5 ? I don't quite see how.

What I meant by several commands at one time was that I want to create a macro that turns on both my pre-amp and cd player at the samt time. But when I add RC5 code 61 from the cd setup and code 12 from the pre amp setup only the first code is sent.

Oh, and why can I not use the wheel for the RC5 codes? It would be very cool to be able to control the volume this way.

You will need the Beo5 3rd Party XML Generator which can be downloaded if you upgrade to Silver or Gold membership.

This program will actually create the required XML and comes with full help.

Ok

Will this also help my issue with macros?

From what I can find both in the help file and on remotecentral it seems I need to somehow convert the ccf files to HEX to use your program? Is this easily done?

After the installation on two pieces of software, it is a matter of minutes. Very easy and well documented.

Cheers,
Frank
