Subject: Error when sending remote command with own TCP socket.

Code: Select all

Socket m_socListener = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp);// tried also Dgram/UDP

byte[] startmsg = new byte[256];
startmsg = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("ASCI");
m_socListener.Send(startmsg, 0, startmsg.Length, SocketFlags.None);< can recieve remotecontrol code here

string command = "Asnd ebmultimedia,macro-sat"; <<<<<<<<< wrong
msg1 = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(command);
m_socListener.Send(msg1, 0, startmsg.Length, SocketFlags.None);< Error here

tested with: snd (Asnd) ebmultimedia,macro-sat.... li,p21000.... \n\r \n tried everything (NO spaces)

Errors:
got **00067 RESULT This operation is only supported using the irserver (snd)
got **00034 RESULT ASCII Format Error (Asnd)

What works:
I can recieve the remotecommands : got **00043 RCV_COM ebmultimedia,macro-sat,0,0
I can use Aver, gives: **00034 VERSION E6.05.40 L1.09.02
Agetremotes ebmultimedia > **00034 RESULT ASCII Format Error

I don't know what to do more, can (remote, command)name's be too long ?

Hi,
the ASCII commands surely work like shown in the manual.

That means "Asnd ebmultimedia,macro-sat" will work if there is a remote control "ebmultimedia" with a command "macro-sat".

There should be either <LF> or <CR><LF> (ASCII 10 or ASCII 13 10) at the end of the string.

The max. length for remote names is 80 and for command names 20 chars.

Please check what is actually sent using a TCP monitor.

You are using UTF8 encoding - however the IRTrans will only understand ASCII.

The correct syntax for getremotes is "Agetremotes" without any further arguments.

There area lot of different applications using this API and it is working exactly as shown in the manual.
