Support Fangor projector IR remote commands

I have a Fangor F-506 projector, which conveniently includes a side compartment for my Roku Streaming Stick to live in. This combination works pretty well for the sake of playback, but I have to use my projector's IR remote for volume, mute, etc.

I tried many, many of the manually selected remote control options from the Roku's vast menu, but none would control my projector. I was able to capture the commands, though, and replicate them with an IR blaster, so I offer them here in hopes that Roku's fine software developers might integrate them into the available choices:

(captured, and tested by sending, as NEC 32-bit codes; I didn't experiment with 16-bit)

CodeLSBWidthCommand
0xFF15EA0xFFA85732Power
0xFF11EE0xFF887732Mute
0xFF6B940xFFD62932Volume +
0xFF31CE0xFF8C7332Volume -
0xFF79860xFF9E6132OK

 

Note that after pressing "Power" once to turn off the projector, it displays a confirmation menu, at which point one must press either "OK", or optionally "Power" again, to confirm shutdown.

    Even if you find a different brand that uses the same IR commands you will never have access to OK tv command via Roku remote!! Just power, volume, and mute.

      I understand there's no dedicated button for an OK command, but the Power button could either transmit the Power and OK codes in sequence (with a short delay), or the user will just need to press the Power button twice. I was just hoping Roku engineers might weigh in here on whether this is enough to go on or if they'd need codes in a different format.

    Breaking down the codes even simpler with Device/Function in hopes of eventually getting this in -- it's just simple NEC 32-bit codes with Device ID=0 and no subdevice.

      bwarden You realize how many different brands of TVs, Projectors and other devices that are out there that use various programming and frequencies to control devices?  Which is why there are a variety of programmable remotes out there that only cover certain brands.  Even Logitech remotes, which are some of the better programmable remotes out there for a multitude of different brands of devices, struggle to cover every remote device out there. Especially with the pervasion of the many small/no-name cheap brands that have popped up into the market in recent years in various parts of the world.  A Roku remote/device would have to have far more capability and cost way more than it current does to cover all aspects of programming like that.  At the end of the day, the Roku remote's primary purpose is to control Roku device with the Roku device's primary purpose to stream app/channels.
