Hello , i Just Bought The WD Tv and was trying out to Convert the hex codes of its remote to beo5 .... Somehow i seem to fail all the time ...Here are the Codes if someone could convert them to aN Xml File for the Beo5 Would be much Apreciated ...Thank you in Advance !

Whilst the codes you have found are valid Pronto codes, most found on the web are "Learn't codes

If you have a learn't code, then the first word of the code string will always be "0000" if the signal is modulated and "0100" if unmodulated

If it is non zero, then it is a defined protocol or a proprietary defined by a vendor like Western Digital

Defined protocols include:-

0000 Learned code format (modulated)
0100 Learned code format (unmodulated)
5000 RC5 code format
5001 RC5x code format
6000 RC6 code format
6001 RC5 mode A code format

Code "900A" is new to me, so we can assume at this stage it is a Proprietary defined code, but can still be decoded, but will take a little longer.

What seems surprising is it uses two different carrier frequencies which is unlikely, but not impossible.

I will decode it cover the next couple of days and get back to you.

Hmm interesting seems thats why i was having so many problems with those....  i assume more peps are using WD TV  so the decoding of those would be usefull for all ;) ill be waiting then for ur conclusion ^  thnx in advance keith ;)

I have put together a test XML file for you to test.

You can download it from HERE

A great Keith will test it right away  and let u know how it went !

Gave them a try seems like none of the buttons are actually working

Nope preety sure now after some tries that the buttons dont work

I am sorry it did not work, but I was guessing at the protocol used which clearly was incorrect.

Do you have the opportunity to capture one command from the original remote and send me the timing, then I can be certain about the protocol used ?

Hey Again keith , nope afterall didnt bought the lutron ir converter so i cant send you the timings ...  so i guess we are at a dead end .. hmm any other ideas that might help ?

If you have a Windows Mobile or PocketPC lying around you could get a low-cost solution for capturing IR codes within RemoteControl II software. Search for it in this forum, worked for me.

Cheers,
Frank

All we need to do is establish what protocol Western Digital are using as I am not familiar with the Pronto code you had found on its web site.

As Frank said, you don't need a Lintronic box to capture an IR signal, there are many options and I only need one command capture to establish the protocol.

I have done a little more research this afternoon and I can now confirm that this code uses NEC protocol which is what I had previously guessed and provided as a XML file.

However, it is now much clearer that Western Digital may have translated the function and inverted function code incorrectly, This is HEX word 5 of the Pronto code.

So, we now know that Western Digital has used a non standard leadin code of 900A to represent NEC.

I will look at word 5 & 6 and see how they have defined them and gte back to you.

I am pleased to inform you that I now have an XML file for the Western Digital TV for you to test, but I expect it to work.

Those commands such as UP & Down etc are assigned to the hardkeys

You can download the XML file for test HERE

Hey Again keith and sorry for the slow reply ,  great to hear i will give it a try now to see if it works , and nope dont have either a pocket pc or other ways of capturing ir commands ..anyway let me see how this file will do ^^ will get back to u

And As u Said Keith The File Works Perfectly !!! Thnx A milion !!  For All the time and Effort u put into this ;) Cheers man :):):)
