You are right, it works, at least most basic functions, but only being very close and aiming carefully.

The remote control for this device is model RM-AAU17 and some important features are missing such as changing audio mode (Auto, Dolby, MultiStereo...).

It's unfortunate as the original remote control also needs to aim very carefully to work and Pierogi would have been a perfect replacement now that I can also control the TV and VLC video player via web interface in PC connected to the TV.

Yes, I built the current UI of Pierogi specifically with an eye towards TV, VCR and DVD usage; and it turns out this misses a lot of audio related functionality. I really need to rework the UI, possibly with an entire alternate set of tabs for different keysets. (Other devices, like cameras and air conditioners, are an even worse fit to the existing UI...)

I'm beginning to wonder if maybe there just isn't something odd about the IR receivers that Sony is using. I would bet that you could use an "IR Repeater" with the receiver to make both Pierogi and the original remote control work better...

Anybody with problems tried in pitch black?
Possible interference from lighting or sunlight?
Probably not but worth ruling out

--Edit
I mean range problems, for those who wondered what I was on about!!!

Also link to Pierogi 1.0.0 Package Rate page would be handy.

I sat with the n900 about 3' messing with sky set 1a. It work but every 4th or 5th press. Any chance it's down to how long the key is pressed for because it's seems to be a really quick press works. I might also be talking poo.

Well, darn. I must still have the protocol wrong -- I thought I fixed the "toggle" bit last time I tried, but this sounds just like what would happen if I'm still sending it wrong. Let me take another look at it, I just need to get the protocol straight in my head...

I have an idea - is it possible to make this application so it can learn from existing remotes? That would be really awesome!

Hardware does not allow this.
