Does anyone have a doc with all of the SageTV IR codes?

Does anyone have a document with the IR codes for all of the buttons on a SageTV remote control.

The codes are a bunch of four digit hex numbers that would look something like this:

0000 006D 0022 0002 0156 00AB 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 003F 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 003F 0015 003F 0015 0015 0015 003F 0015 003F 0015 003F 0015 003F 0015 003F 0015 003F 0015 0015 0015 003F 0015 003F 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 003F 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 003F 0015 067C 0156 0055 0015 0E4D

I know this isn't what you were asking for, but see if it helps.

The HDx00 remotes use RC5, and here's a list of the scan codes -

OOC, what remote are you setting up?

I need to set up a driver for SageTV extenders in my Control4 Home Automation system. This is something that can only be done by a Control4 dealer and my dealer does not have any expertise with SageTV.

We do have an older IP driver that uses the same codes as the WebUI but it only works if you don't have a username/password on the Web UI. But on the current version of the Web UI there is no way to not have a password.

In an ideal world I would use an IP driver but I have to overcome this hurdle and it also takes a bit more work as you would have to enter the MACIDs (or IP addresses) for your SageTV extenders in the driver as well.

Historically I have just used Harmony remote controls but I am moving some of my rooms to Control4 as it allows full integration with all of my other smart home stuff, including commands from Alexa, using "light" switches on the wall to turn on the AV system with SageTV as the input, etc.

RC5 is a known IR protocol, so they should be able to use RC5 specs instead of the IR codes like you have in the first post.

Plus, the RC5 spec calls for the codes to toggle on each separate press, so there are actually 2 codes per button and it really will work better if their system can be programmed to correctly use RC5.

In addition, if you haven't already checked out the codes I put in the above-linked zip, note that there are at least 2 separate codes for discrete power on/off commands in case that could be useful.

Finally, if you include extra RC5 codes beyond what that list shows, you can use more commands on a remote than what the original remote uses.

Interesting. What types of command would these be?

One of the great things in SageTV is having the SkipFwd and SkipFwd2, especially with the Plugin where you can customize the times based on Show Title. No other playback does skipping nearly as well as SageTV. When I use other software like Plex, etc I realize how great SageTV is at this.

Almost all of my SageTV usage is for watching sports. The SkipFwd button is set for 10 seconds so that a press or two gets you through free throws, face-offs, etc and SkipFwd2 is set for 120 or 150 seconds depending on how long commercial breaks are for sports.

But it would be great to have other SkipFwds - like 900 seconds (15 minutes) for halftime/intermission, etc.

Is there any way to add commands like SkipFwd3, SkipFwd4, etc?

[wayner]

Oh, and I may not need the codes after all as I have been able to find a Control4 driver from a long-lost SageTV user / Control4 dealer that uses IP control via Fonceur's SageTCP Server plugin. I will try that out and see if it works.

What I meant was that you could connect to more SageTV commands than what are found on the remote -- there are lots of commands, but to add more specific FF/REW times, like you mentioned, would require customizing the STV unless someone already has such a customization.

FYI, Nginx can handle this for you. I think you use that. Just use it as a proxy:

proxy_pass http://sage:frey@yoursageserver/sage/;

Awesome - what config would I need to do in nginx to be able to do that?

The IP driver using SageTCP server didn't work.

What I said before was sort of off the cuff and I didn't quite do it right. But I just tested this and it works, (Google quickly found my mistake: http://shairosenfeld.blogspot.com/search?q=nginx).

On your unRAID server enter this at a command prompt replacing sage:frey with your logins:

echo -n "sage:frey" | base64

It will return something like this: c2FnZTpmcmV5.

I'm not sure how your home network is set up or what ports the Nginx Docker uses, (guessing you use the Docker), but I'm guessing you'd want something like this:

server {
        listen YOUR_NGINX_PORT;

        location / {
                proxy_pass http://YOUR_SAGE_SERVER_IP;
                proxy_set_header Authorization "Basic YOUR_WEIRD_STRING";
        }
}

The problem is that you then won't want to open that Nginx port up to the Internet. If I recall when I last was looking at this you had to use Nginx authentication to trigger a username/password prompt if the IP range did not meet what you defined as the local network.
