RemoteMaster Files

This is RMIR v2.14.15, which is the first official release of RMIR since v2.14.0.  All builds from 1 to 14 were for development purposes, as there have been a large number of improvements, bug fixes and additions since that last release.  In particular, the included IrpTransmogrifier has been upgraded to version 1.2.11, the CommHID interface to version 2.0 and the digitmaps.bin support file to version 758.  The CommHID upgrade allows XSight remotes to be supported with Raspberry Pi, which previously could not support this interface, though so far this has only been tested with Raspberry Pi 4.  Several new RDFs have been added and others improved.  Many changes affect only a few specific remotes, but this update is recommended to all users as some improvements affect all remotes. 

RMIR v2.14.15 is only available as a full installation package.  It is installed simply by unzipping this package into an empty folder.  Please note that for an installation to work correctly, this folder must not be read-only.  For a Windows OS this means, in particular, that it should not be unzipped into a subfolder of the Program Files folder. If you want to preserve your settings from an earlier build of RMIR v2.14 then, after unzipping the package, copy the RemoteMaster.properties file from the installation folder of that version to that of this new version.  In this case, however, you will need to use the menu item File > Set Directory to change the locations of the RDF, Images and AddOns folders from being in the old installation folder to the new one.

Note that protocols.ini includes no-repeat versions of certain protocols, primarily intended for use by Slingbox files.  Due to the specialized nature of these versions, by default they are not loaded when RM or RMIR is opened.  If you need these protocols, check the item "Show Slingbox protocols" in the Options menu of either RM and RMIR.  These protocols will then be loaded in all subsequent invocations of RM and RMIR until this item is specifically unchecked.
