My name is Gordo (not really)<p>Pioneer LD SR IR BS Continued...<br>(<span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://hachyderm.io/@pair12" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>pair12</span></a></span> wish me luck, pal)</p><p>It took me a while to find the time, though it's also been a constant distraction while trying to do more important things (lol), but I'm going to see if I can send commands to the player's SR input from my computer using the codes from IRDB. </p><p>My understanding is that the majority of Pioneer players (basically the ones that begin with CLD, more or less) use the same codes, so I just have to figure out which of the 3 Pioneer LD codes on IRDB is the correct one (this information is available on at least one LDDB thread; open in one of many tabs I'm sure, but also I can just try them all and see which works lol), open it in IRScrutinizer, and find some way to send the code out through my 3.5mm jack, or possibly write some script to do so if I had to.</p><p>It doesn't seem like it should be that simple, but the SR protocol is basically just the received IR code, but demodulated (and I think also inverted? I'll confirm the details before I start putting wires in places, but I may very well require a semiconductor of some description).</p><p>I kind of assumed IRScrutinizer would just do this out of the box, but I also didn't confirm that assumption when I was thinking about all this while also doing real work so I could keep paying for food/shelter/goods/svcs/etc. lol, so while it seems completely obvious, I am very excited now that I've actually run it to see that that's its default mode of operation.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/laserdisc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>laserdisc</span></a></p>
