USBUIRT not transmitting in 10.04 [solved]

[tschak909]

I've used the Xantech 286-M mouse emitters for this purpose.

J: I don't think it was an IR code as such... not sure exactly what it was.... just something funny about the way I set up the device, perhaps. Possibly related to the stuff-up I made with all the embedded devices in the beginning. Still have to clean that all out of the DB.

Thom: Thanks for the tip- will check it out. I see from Xantech.com that there may even be a distributor on the s. tip of Africa!

Thanks jamo.  Hope things are all still working for you.

Thanks for the help.

I've marked this as solved because as far as I can tell, all is working correctly. Sadly I can't be sure if the problem was on the USBUIRT device or related to the TV device template that I originally built (and hacked). The reason I can't isolate is that I deleted all these devices and re-added the USBUIRT and then, subsequently, a new TV template so I didn't isolate the problem. I would put it down to the TV template except for the fact that a related issue (see other thread) of USBUIRT dying on router reload has gone aways as well which makes me wonder.

Nevertheless, all appears well in the land of USBUIRT - it is receiving 100% and transmitting as, I believe, it should although I'm still having lots of fun getting the codes right and ensuring the IR is delivered etc etc. As suggested by Thom, I'll probably invest in a dual-head emitter to target my devices more accurately for a start and, do my level best to get discrete codes. Toggle is a nightmare!! My TV goes on and off all the time to the degree that I've taken the power code out of the template and I'm controlling it manually at this stage!

Great to hear that its working!
