Re: first cry for help in 5 years - config file for CiscoISB7500

Short version:  it works!  and i'm happy!  Thanks!

Long version:  what i had from long ago MAY have been OK - but the real
culprit in my case was apparently hardware related.

works for all BUT the U-Verse remote:  the TIRA-2.1
works for ALL:  that old IRToy i had lying around that i re-flashed the
firmware on.

does anyone know if the TIRA has any known issues with this particular
type of IR signals (the "Nokia32" / RCMM) protocols?

i tore my hair out trying to prove the LIRC config file worked on the
U-verse.  only when i dropped my old IRToy into the mix did things start
working all over.

now successfully commanding using the IRToy:

   LG TV               SPACE_ENC|CONST_LENGTH
   Bose SoundBar       SPACE_ENC
   Kinvio HDMI switch  SPACE_ENC
   Cisco ESB7500       RCMM|CONST_LENGTH

Thanks again!!
