[QUOTE="Zasurus, post: 979094, member: 26856"] Hi all, I have a MS IR receiver and double blaster and for as long as I have had it and used IRSS (YEARS!) I have had trouble with the blaster and Translator. I use it to turn my Samsung Plasma on and off using the MS Media Remotes TV power button. This was done by learning my TV remote's on/off toggle IR signal (by the learn feature of Translator) and then assigning it to the TV Power button on the remote. It works fine in the Translator's "Test" button (worked every time!) but when I use it for real it always makes the blaster LED flash but maybe 1 out of 5 flashes turns the plasma on/off. If I use the IR Blaster exe it worked every time (like the Test button) but takes a sec for all the exe to open and send the command which is a bit annoying. Anyway today I got the time and will to download the IRSS source and work out what is going wrong. As first I thought there must be different code running for the test button than live use/blasting but upon my first check it was clear it wasn't once I added some message boxes printing out the commands send etc.. BUT I noticed that if I added said message box the command always worked!? So I replaced the message box with a wait of a sec and again all good! But anoying 1 sec odd wait is back so I reduced the wait until it worked and didn't feel sluggish (which for my PC is 300ms) I suspect this has something to do with the way the blaster it's self is working... maybe if it receives the controls IR command from the MS IR Remote (model: 1039) and instantly is told to blast it has issues!? Anyway I can't be the only person having this issue so I thought I would post my patch (I hope sorry not a GIT user normally use hg and it's different enough to make patches harder!) so you guys can see it and maybe use it if others have this issue. It's only one line but still. :) See attached file. The source I got was from "[url]https://github.com/disaster123/IR-Server-Suite[/url]" I have also posted the Translator.exe (in a 7z file) with the wait encase anyone else wanted it and couldn't compile it. :) Regards, Zas [/QUOTE]
