Samsung LCD; Can anybody make a Beo 5 file out of the Hex file?

Ypeij00 — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 03:26:37 GMT

Dear Keith,

I see in your Product Browser (Beo5 CT) a 3rd party XML for a Samsung TV. Is this XML also for a Samsung LCD?

I want to use my Beo5 in the bedroom (Samsung LCD with Ouverture, BL8000 and LC2) and buy a new Beo6 for the livingroom. Looked for a Samsung TV file in the Beo5 download page but found no Samsung files. Just found the Samsung Hex-codes on "remotecentral.com" but can't convert them to XML. Would you want to share your Samsung file with me? If you like I have the 3rd party files for a Philips LCD TV and a Humax STB. Also have the CT4.11 if you like.

Thanx,

Dave (Buchten, Netherlands)

A warm Welcome to your first posting on Beoworld..

Like all the XML files I make available for download, I produce them.

Generally speaking LG use the same codes for most recent TV's and you can download the file HERE but it may not work with your model.

Keith Saunders:

I have converted the Logitech Harmony PS3 Adapter Pronto codes for you into a Beo5 XML file including digit and hard key assignments.

You can download it HERE and then extract it to C:\ which will add it to the correct directory in the Beo5 Configuration Tool.

Within the Beo5 Tool just drag-n-drop to your configuration as below

Hello Keith

I see you have LG TV under others?

Where did you get this from, can you send me the XML file on this, or a like?
My tv is LG PS8000 also called 50PS80
please email me the file, if you have if (sblochm@hotmail.com)

Thank you again.

Rolf,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this one.

I have today taken your XML file and re-constructed it so that the hard keys can be used.

Once you have confirmed that it all works correctly, I will add it to the download site.

I have managed to create a new XML file which seems to work, but I have not hade time to do anything with it and mapping to hardkeys etc is beyond my knowledge of XML. I sent the new XML file to Keith a while back but I do not know if he has had time to look at it and do his usual magic including mapping of hardkeys etc.

Hello,

I'm asking for an update:

Does anybody of you use the Beo 5 successfully with a Logitech Harmony PS3 adapter and the PS3 SLIM?

According to Logitech there's an improved version that should work. You can identify it on the bottom of the PS3 adapter.
There's a label called "PID".

All the new and improved adapters have a PID higher than LZ922xx.

They adressed the problem and have it in their support database:
http://forums.logitech.com/t5/PLAYSTATION-3/Harmony-Adapter-for-PS3-and-PS3Slim-users-Solution-for/td-p/386807

If it successfully works with the Beo 5 I'm gonna buy that adapter again :-)

Thanks for your replies.

I brought the PS3 Harmony adapter back to the shop where I bought it because the adapter is incompatible with the new PS3 slim - according to the Logitech forums.

Now I'm waiting until Logichtech improves the adapter and then I'll test it again with the Beo 5 and hope that it works :-)

I have just remapped the available Pronto codes from the Remotecentral site and converted them into Beo5 format via the Lintronic Configurator tool. The commands now seem to work from the Beo5, and I will now spend some time not to map the commands to the Beo5 including the hardkeys. Failing this I'll ask Keith to give me a hand.

In any case one step ahead today.

Hello Keith and T.W.G.

I have just uploaded the provided Logitech Harmony PS3 Adapter XML file to my Beo5 (s/w 1.41e) with the config tool 3.23. As T.W.G I get no reaction at all from the PS3 (or the Harmony Adapter) despite the PS3 reporting that it is paired with the adapter.

I do not own a Harmony One remote so I cannot verify the functionality directly but I do have the Lintronic kit so I will try to reverse engineer the Remote Central codes a little to see if I can find any discrepancies.

T.W.G have you come any further with the issue ?

Hi,

I've made a configuration with 2 test zones: One with the file for firmware V1.4x and one for V1.3x.

None of them is working, PS3 shows absolutely no reaction.

The adapter seems to work ok as it paired fine as a BD remote control with the PS3.

Any hints, tips?

I just used the raw file, no customisation like reanging buttons etc. as it was just for testing because I do some work.

Beo 5 Firmware: 1.41.a
Hardware Revision 6
Supported Version 0.39 (this information is displayed in "Beo 5 Version Info window of the Config Tool 3.x)

Thanks for clearing that up, Keith!

And always: A big thank you for your help and support! I'm gonna try it out and will give you feedback tomorrow or tuesday as soon as I have time to test it out!

To clarify the battery situation..

With Version 3.0 and its associated firmware if you create a 3rd party XML file incorrectly, particularly if you are using RAW which leaves the transmitting LED on or in constant repeat mode, then the battery will show flat within minutes. If you have correctly created an XML file, then you should not have any problems.

Ok, I asked because of your big red tip in the Config Tool V3.0 review where you hint at the new calibration that seems to be required?!

Keith Saunders — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 05:46:04 GMT

NO, you should not need to do that.

Press the standby button down and then press OK (Centre button) to go into the SETUP menu then press INFO and if the battery shows full, then you should not have a problem.
