[SOLVED] RS232 Bug?
« on: May 27, 2011, 05:59:19 am »
I just did my first update in a few months and lost my TV's RS232 control. I discovered in webadmin that all the control codes had their slashes removed.

For example, what was previously
Code: [Select]
<$"\x02POF\x03"$>
is now
Code: [Select]
<$"x02POFx03"$>
and it won't let me re-insert the slashes.

1. Is this a bug?
2. Is there a workaround?

Thanks,

Dave

Maybe

Put double slashes in, and LMCE will strip only the first slash. Problem solved.

Thanks merkur2k. I tried to run an update/upgrade but it shows no packages for upgrade. Is there a package I should check for its version#?

It could be useful to know what version (810 or 1004) you are using?

br,
