I have them converted into text files via. the lintronic software. Ill have a look at the files. Please let me know if you have any other tips.

You can proceed with these files and the V1.0 of the XML Generator tool. With the final XML have a look at the examples. Threre seems to be very little difference (in the case of my file the only difference I found is the Carrier, which is 38000 instead of 38), however one user reported that changing only this, did not work for him. For the usage of the hard buttons I was looking at one of the other examples to see how it works and copied the converted Pioneer codes.

Cheers,

Hmmm.. Doesn't quite seem to work.. Must be more than simply changing the carrier to 38000

Simply changing the carrier (from 38 to 38000) worked for me with the 4 non-B&O equipment I use:

VHS Thomson, DVD player Panasonic S33, Divx player Philips DVP5100, TV trinitron Sony.

The main differences between the latest firmware version 1.40a and the previous version is the format of the carrier frequency from "Carrier=XX" where the carrier frequency "XX" is in thousands between 30 Khz and 56Khz and the latest version which is in the format of "Carrier=XXXXX" where the frequency is in Hertz.

The above is true for most, but not all protocols. It is true for NEC protocols, but for example it is not true for Sony protocols which requires the transmitted infra-red command codes to be transmitted at least twice and is normally transmitted five times with a defined space between transmisions.

I got it working with a Logitech Squeezebox by changing the carrier to 38000 but i can't get it working with the Pioneer codes. Could anyone have a look at the file i made and maybe try it out to check if you can get it to work?

Upload your Pioneer XML file and the command text files if you have created with the XML file with the 3rd Party XML Generator using the text files created by the Lintronic software. Add all the files to a ZIP file and upload them

I uploaded it now... I should mention that I have not confirmed that these codes actually will work on my tv but I found them on the internet and am pretty shure they should work

I have had a look at your XML which produced NEC protocol codes.

I have also looked at some of the Pioneer codes and they use about 8 different protocols, some are RC5 and the rest are NEC.

You did not state the exact Pioneer model and I suggest you use a Lintronic box to capture the codes from the actual remote to be sure which one is used.

Did you download the Pioneer DV-646A from the Beo5 web pages

Did you download the Pioneer DV-646A from the Beo5 web pages link and try that which also uses NEC codes. This is a known working Pioneer XML file

It is for use with the KRP500A model.

Are the codes right? Or what else is wrong?

Hi

Im sort of lost in getting 3'rd party codes working on my BEO5.
I joined to get the XML generator and now im stuck.

I have lintronic files .... looking like this....

I want to control my Pioneer VSX-LX60 and these codes are some of them.

Thanks for any help.

Jacob,

A Very warm welcome to Beoworld.

Do you have a Lintronic Box or just their software ?

If you have a Lintronic box to capture IR codes from a remote or you have found Pronto codes for your 3rd party product on the web normally at
