Infrared Database Update
Hello Everyone,
We have discontinued the previous infrared database, so the old method of looking up remote controller IDs is no longer available.
What has changed
- We copied over the IR files you were already using.
➝ If you have ever downloaded an ID, it should still be visible in our new database. - We are now building our own database, which will also include model numbers (previously missing).
How You Can Help
We need support from the community to expand this new library with widely used infrared devices.
To get started, we’ve provided a Sample CSV file that shows the expected format:
Code Formatting: How to Submit IR Codes to Our Sample CSV
To ensure the accuracy and compatibility of our IR code library, please format your submissions for our Sample CSV correctly.
The required columns are:
Brand | Model Number | Frequency | Control Name | Control IR Data
- Brand: Device brand (e.g., Sony, LG, Samsung).
- Model Number: The specific model identifier of the device.
- Frequency: Carrier frequency in Hz (e.g., 38000).
- Control Name: A descriptive label (e.g., Power, VolumeUp).
- Control IR Data: The IR code itself, formatted as either Raw or Pronto Hex (see below).
Raw Codes
The most fundamental, un-decoded pulse timings, ideal for universal compatibility.
Submit as a comma-separated string of numbers (microseconds), with no spaces in between.
Example:
9000,4500,560,1690,560,560,...
Pronto Hex
A structured, standardized format often used by remote control software.
Represent the signal as space-separated four-digit hexadecimal words.
Example:
0000 006C 0000 0022 00AD 00AD 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 ...
When submitting to the CSV, place the entire Raw or Pronto Hex code string within a single cell under the Control IR Data column to avoid parsing errors.
Your attention to these formatting details is crucial for building a reliable and accurate community resource.
