Reinventing the Remote Control wheel ??

[gbjbasdw]

At the risk of stating the obvious or teaching granny to suck eggs.....

I came across this when I was researching Slingbox alternatives a couple of weeks ago.

I found it here JP1 Remotes :: View topic - Slingbox news (hifi-remote.com) See its contents below

"As Sling's servers go into Sunset. Here's a copy of the latest firmware files for models up to ProHD as a backup archive. These can be uploaded to your Slingbox using the older SlingPlayer EU-1.5.1.343 PC or Mac 1.0.10 Setup Assistants. The only need for these old players is for setup and/or reconfiguration of boxes. Once setup and/or reconfigured it's best (has better quality playback) to use the Ver 2 SlingPlayer for PC (prior to 2.0.3) for direct IP video streaming or Slinger (https://github.com/GerryDazoo/Slinger)."

***** Also this is the entire and complete archive of Sling's remote control files (including skins for players and BIN files).

Within this zip is the IR-SBAV folder of the various model Slingbox firmware bins; that can be uploaded to you box as a custom remote. Inside these folders are CSV files with information on which remote BIN is applicable to each remote model. For info on how to do this see

I've copied it in its entirety but what it has links to is hundreds of Remote Controls for Slingboxes. Don't ask me what the various components are for - I've no idea but some of you guys will almost certainly know.

As an example, here is a Virginmedia Tivo remote that is almost identical to my physical device. The file name for it is D3894566-7C68-429b-8C7B-E64C46768790_Big.png. There is also a "SMALL" version of it

So I'm not sure if any of this gives a leg up to those creating newer remote controls to work with Slinger.

Cheers,
