USB-UIRT & Girder IR Mutant Transmission

[user101]

I'm discovering a very odd and frustrating problem...I'll record an IR code to be transmitted to my dvd player...i copy and paste this same command to create dozens of identical commands all transmitting the same code...except that some will randomly not work. Other times itll work fine for weeks and then all of a sudden some commands dont work. They're all sending the identical code, but some seem to randomly "mutate" and not work...

I've now run into the problem that I'll record an IR code to send out, I'll send it once, it'll work fine, ill send it twice, nothing happens. It sends the same code in both instances, except after the first success all others fail. Any one have any thoughts?

I would suggest contacting support@usbuirt.com and requesting the lrnHelper app to debug this.

One possibility is that the repeatCount setting is 'on the edge' of being too short. Other possibilities could revolve around IR interference, placement issues, etc.

Here is some more information: Hi, ive posted the same question at Girder...nothing has solved the problem so far...I have a pioneer dv-f727 dvd player...The remote has two command codes per button but thats not the problem...

...well not until yesterday...it randomly changed its code last night and caused me to have to spend an hour updating the codes and now, although i have an antirepeat of zero, the events are being sent out reeeallly slowly...nothing has changed accept the remote codes (which i cant explain either) and has made navigating menus terrible. Any thoughts on why this is happening?

...but back on topic...the original problem doesn't seem to be caused by the remote or dvd player...its either a problem with girder randomly deciding to sending a code correctly once and then never again or a problem with my usb-uirt...when it sends out the code, the uirt blinks, so i know it is sending something...i just cannot figure out why the "ON/OFF" code for my dvd player works in one girder group but not in another...they're both identical because they were copy and pasted from the same original group...and whats more, why did it work fine a few weeks ago and then randomly get this problem?

A penny for your thoughts/suggestions for the many bumps in the road i've hit.
