Looking for dedicated IR commands for POWER_ON and POWER_OFF for a Samsung Blu-ray player model “K8500”
If it isn’t here, then you probably have to create your own by learning the POWER_TOGGLE twice and renaming them
I have the following problem.
When I start the “Watch Blu-ray on TV” activity, everything is fine.
However, when I switch to the “Watch TV” activity, the Blu-ray player stays on (but dont turn off).
However,
when I start the “Watch Blu-ray on TV” activity and then end it, the Blu-ray player also turns off.
For your information, the Blu-ray player only supports IR and has only one power toggle.
I dont have this problem with other activities and devices, only with the Blu-ray player.
They are all in the same activity group. R3 with Beta Release 2.8.1
pls. can you help me.
The only way to make a device working correctly is when it has a dedicated POWER_ON and POWER_OFF command.
If your device doesn’t support this, the only way is to fool the remote by programming the POWER_TOGGLE command twice and renaming them to POWER_ON and POWER_OFF and use these commands in your sequences.
That’s how did it with my DAC
thanks i got it
There is a workaround for Samsung DVD players what is commonly used in CI circles. The Play command works as a discrete on, so use that instead of power toggle.
You can use a macro to create a power-off sequence that functions as a discrete off command. Because Play works as power-on, use the following macro to simulate a discrete off:
Send Play
Delay 3 seconds
Send Power toggle
