You too can send a mail asking for the HEX codes to Fujitsu Siemens and Kathrein. Some people don't mind to give you the codes.

First, there aren't stupid questions, only questions you don't know the answer (Keith told this to me )

Another way to have the codes is, if you have the original remotes, capturing the codes with a PDA.

Please, read this thread.

first i have to say sorry for my stupid questions.

i was on the remote control site but i didn´t find any files there. where do i find the program to create the xml file?

the tv i will control is a fujitsu siemens myrica v40 and the sat receiver is a kathrein ufs 301i.

Is not that easy

There is a site called Remote Central where you can find lots of ccf files with codes of devices. What brand and model is your DVD?

Once you have the ccf file, you have to take the HEX codes, convert them with the software of Lintronic and create one txt file for every command. When you have all commands created, you can make an xml file with a software created by Weebyx and Keith Sanuders, from the forum. This xml file is what you need to control your device with the Beo5.

If you want control your sat receiver directly from your Beo5, without IR transmitter, you have to create an xml file with the codes of your sat receiver. Maybe you are controlling it now because it is in the PUC list of your BV7.

firmware 1.34 work for me just fine!

but i can´t control my sat receiver. when i´m in the living room, where its connectet with the bv7 it works. but if i go in the celler, where the receiver is, the remote doesn´t work. my other non b&o sat receiver in a other room doesn´t work too.

the only non b&o product that work is the apple remote, but not correctly. what do i wrong? is it possible to get my non b&o devices to work?

You need some files to change in the firmware folder. Send me a PM with your mail adress and I will send them to you. Then, you need to change some values like it was explained before.

Re: Bugs in SW 1.32a ?!

Coolblue86 — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 06:44:30 GMT

That is not enough.
That will not give you the full 1.34a firmware - there are still some things missing.
Aha, what is missing, the remote says 1.34a as firmware release when i look in the service menu, and the 3rd party support is also working?
/Weebyx

I'm not sure, but I did also update my Beo5 like this when the 1.34a was released. However I was missing full support for the Lintronic box - so I could not use the CNTL_X and FUNCTION_X until I did a get update from a "online" Beo5 config tool.

I'm full controlling now 5 non-B&O devices (Philips, Thomson, Sony, Panasonic and Pinnacle) directly with the Beo5, and of course thanks to Keith's XML generator tool and his help info procedure... the beo5 works very well in all cases

but here is the difference with the majority of beo5 users: I'm still using the Beo5ConfigTool 1.02 with Serializer version 0.35, and my Beo5 still has the 1.20a firmware... and NO bugs however !!! the 3rd party support is also working perfectly well.

Everything works correctly, but I've not upgrade the Beo5 firmware to 1.34a yet, and I'm not using the 1.30 Beo5ConfigTool

I updated as well and everything looks to work properly. Thanks to Quim as well for the info.

In addition it solves a bug I had with software 1.30a (I did not see any reference about it).

The bug is related to the following: if you configure the Beo5 with a third party accessory like Lutron Rania IR, after using one of the Lutron codes, the Beo5 IR Power range gets reduced, so you need to point directly to the equipment IR receiver. This continues to happen until you power off and on the Beo5, then works properly until you press any of the Lutron commands again. This does not only happen with lutron codes, I think it happens when you use a non B&O IR code.

Keith Saunders:

Weebyx has got his Beo5 updated correctly including the configuration file.

Yes, and thanks to Keith for helping with info :)
