Humax FoxsatHDR remote not working

[gbjbasdw]

I have come to a dead end trying to get remote control on my Humax FoxsatHDR Freeesat recorder and wonder if anyone can suggest where to go next.

I have Slinger working just fine with video and audio from the Humax but no matter what code I send nothing is happening. I've tested the IR blaster just in case that had stopped working but it works fine on my Tivo box,

I've tried Slingplayer 1.5 ( which I used to unbrick the ProHD box ) to load stuff into the ProHD but there is no option for Brand Humax FoxsatHDR only a straight Humax PVR (which I am currently using) . I found a SB0312.bin file which is supposed to be for the Humax box on the net but that couldn't be loaded in Slingplayer 1.5.

From memory I think I used Slingplayer 2.0.4. to originally setup the ProHD originally but when I try to use that version to configure it I get a message about Adobe ActiveX Installer not being found and that seems to have been discontinued. Not sure if there is any mileage in trying to track this down. I've had no joy with that so far.

MY SETUP Humax PVR HDMI output into a HDMI --> Component converter.
Component output from converter --> Slingbox ProHD
ProHD ethernet --> Slinger

Here is the Slinger log below. Not sure where Slinger gets the list of keycodes from BTW
I started up Slinger server followed by VLC for the component output of the ProHD. I then used my remote control to send "power", "pause" and then "1" "0" "4"

I'd really appreciate someone having a look at the remoe control stuff at the end of the log to see if it all looks ok - seems kind of sensible to me.

The keycodes come from the slingbox for the configured video source.
You wrote " I've tested the IR blaster just in case that had stopped working but it works fine on my Tivo box"
But your not using a Tivo box in your setup. You have a Humax PVR connected. The logs look fine, I think the problem you have is the remote setup on the slingbox for the component input is not for the Humax PVR box but something else (Tivo?).
