Hi Keith,

sorry for my feedback taking so long.

Yes, it works!

Thank you again for that!

Thank you for your feedback and confirming the details.

I have modified the XML file as requested and you can download it HERE for test.

When you have confirmed that it is correctly working, I will supply a copy to WB Electronics.

Yes, as far as my english language skills goes, I think that's what I want, Keith :-)

Having the same command on the screen and the "back button" hard key is no problem.

Let me make sure I really understand which actual button you wish to control. The current BACK hardkey is assigned to what was called "RETURN" in the original WB Electronics XML file. The screen already has a CIRCLE button.

Are you saying you want the RETURN currently on the hard BACK button to be on the screen AND the screen CIRCLE button to be assigned to the hard key BACK button leaving the circle button on the screen ?

@Rolf:

Did you check the Software of the RE-BL on your computer if the MACRO function is turned ON?!
You can configure the RE-BL from your computer with the Windows software from wb_electronics!

Just a quick report, I received my ordered RE-BL unit last week and also managed to get the latest PUC listing for it installed in my BV9. The installation was extreamly easy and the pairing with the PS3 was also trouble free.

Compared with the Logitech PS2 adapter the RE-BL product was already far ahead. The actual control of the PS3 via the BV9 PUC Menu also worked directly and I am now happily controlling my PS3 with the Beo4. I have not as yet tested the Beo5 controll via Keiths latest XML file, but since I seem to use the Beo4 more out habbit then this is a great solution which I hereby recommend.

The only difficulty I have seen is the "power off" sequence from the BV9 via the RE-BL to the PS3. There is supposed to be a macro controlling this, but I seem to be out of sync between the BV9 and the PS3. I did see on the units support forum that a restart of the device is needed in order for it to pickup that it should use the Power on/off detection from the PS3 USB cable so I will give this a try this evening.

@Keith:

I've testet your XML-file. Very good!

Can I make some suggestions? It would be nice if the physical "back-button" on the Beo 5 could be assigend with the "back"-command and still exists as a screen button,too. Back = Circle-button. So I could have the button 2 times: One on the hardkey and one on the screen with the my own playstation symbols, just for cosmetical reasons :-)

Is this possible?

This is a problem that can be solved: The STB/PUC can be retrofit by your dealer!

That sounds great. I'm afraid that it'll be rather expensive, but I've just send my dealer a mail requesting a price.

Isn't the RE-BL also on the latest STB-C list? It has the "ps3" for the Nyko for sure.

I don't have any knowledge regarding STB/PUC, but I see now from reading in the Beoworld STB group, (which I didn't even know existed until now), that the Avant has STB. My problem is still the same though, as my Avant just has a plastic part where the mini-jack output should be located.

ClausMikkelsen:

My dealer could only make the RE-BL box work with the "Sony PS3 RE-BL" PUC from Bang & Olufsen.

That's correct! With the PUC file you can control the RE-BL from your B&O TV with your Beo 4 or Beo 5. With the XML-file you can control the RE-BL directly from the Beo 5 remote!

@Keith: I'll check out your XML file and give you feedback very soon!

Thank you very much for this thorough review. I think the RE-BL sounds very promising, and I was going to buy one, until I realized that my Avant does not have the PUC output

But it's nice information for when I one day have a TV that supports PUC.
