Hello !
I have 2 DM7000 in the same location, so remote problem (both responding to any command). I did get a JP1 USB connector, and modified exactly as described in the following topic http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/dreambox-support-forum/116130-programming-remote-jp1-2-a.html one of the DM remote (model: URC-39711 B00-02). I then did load in one of the DM the rcdm7000.xml file BonceChops had kindly attached. On both DM7000 I run a Gemini 4.3 image (on USB stick). Then, I rebooted the DM, and, as expected, the modified DM7000 didn't respond anymore to the original remote. Problem is when I used the "modified" remote, slelecting the "modified DM7000" using "shift - Dream" key combination -> the box respond, but the keys are anything but what they should be, ie, "mute" is "audio" ... Any idea what I've messed up ?

Then, as I also have a DM7020 (my choices are either 2 DM7000 same ocation and the DM7020 elsewere or 1 DM7000 + 1 DM7020 in the same location and the other DM7000 elsewhere) on which I use also a Gemini 4.3 image (on USB stick, the one dedicated to the 7020). I then tried the procedure described in the following topic: _http://www.dream-multimedia-tv.de/bo...?threadid=5613 : I added at the end of the bootup file echo 3 > /proc/stb/ir/rc/mask, then reboot the DM; problem is that the DM was booting, and at the end of the boot it was switching off (shut down). As I was still able to boot on the original flash image, and as by luck I had a backup from last year of my Gemini, I have been able to put everything back as it was (nevertheless, time consuming to set again everything....). For the remote, as I have the JP1 interface, I had backup the remote before changing using 982 and so on, so I downloaded the backup into the remote and got it as well to normal. I do not understand why I had this problem on the 7020 ..... Should I had used echo 1 instead of echo 3 ????? I have to admit that I did not try again, despite I have fresh backups of everything ..... and I will not before I understand excatly what was going wrong. Any explaination welcome !!!!:confused:
Thanks in advance for any comment/suggestion,
Michel.

The "echo 1" or "echo 2" selects which remote control is active on the box. So if you do "echo 3" it will be remote number 3 (maximum is 4 unique codes 1-4 if I remember). Setting that mask file should not cause the DM to reboot unless something is wrong with it. The command is otherwise correct if the 7020 runs Enigma1 - it is wrong for Enigma2 as the file is not "mask" but "mask0" and "mask1".

You can try the concept by telnetting to the DM7020 and doing the "echo...." and then trying to see if it took the code correctly. The mask file will be overwritten next time you boot reverting the remote back to all Dream remotes.
 
Hello !
Thanks for this explaination; I have found out now that if I set my RC to echo 1 mode, none of the DM responds. Now, I wanted to telnet the echo 1 > /proc/stb/ir/rc/mask to the 7020; I used Flashwizard to connect, then Smart Telnet; response I got is:

dm7020 login: root
Password:
root@dm7020:~> echo 1 > /proc/stb/ir/rc/mask
-sh: cannot create /proc/stb/ir/rc/mask: Directory nonexistent
root@dm7020:~>
I have to admit that I am not at all familiar with telnet command ..... I guess I did something wrong, but what ?????
Thanks for explaning me,
Best regards,
Michel.
