Broardlink IR Learning issue

Hi Guys,

I am trying to learn a code for “Power” on my Foxtel IQ2 remote (PayTV).

It seems that every time I press the button a new code is captured !?

JgAuABskBDgFFAVBBCkFNwUAC6EbYAUUBUEEKQU3EwALkxskBTcFFAUyBRUEZQUADQUAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I have even tried programming my universal remote… and sent the commands with it.
Same result.

Codes are listed here: http://irdb.tk/codes/ and here: https://github.com/probonopd/irdb/blob/master/codes/Foxtel/Unknown_foxtel/33%2C160.csv

Power = Nokia32 33 160 12

Any ideas how to turn “Power Nokia32 33 160 12” into the Base64 string?
That way I can avoid trying to capture and replay.

Thoughts?

base64 would look like this

here is a site I use for these conversions Base64Decode

thanks Jim. It is a bit more complex than just converting the string.

The String I listed is a shorthand way that is used to describe the protocol. (OBC = Original Button Code)
Protocol Nokia32, device 33, subdevice 160, OBC 12

Data like this is often used by the JP1 and Pronto communities to classify IR codes.

It seems that I can use the ‘Foxtel IQ2’ codes and program my universal remote… however every time that I attempt to use the Broardlink to capture them they are different!?

I was trying to find a reliable way to convert straight into the Base64 string.
I might see if the JP1 forum has any tools (or more clues).

By the way, if anyone is looking for discrete codes for On/Off then the JP1 files section has a library devices. I used these files to program my Universal, then captured with Broardlink.
