Troubleshooting

Here follows a few answers to questions I have been asked. I thought I’d leave my answers here to help those with problems with their remotes.

I put in a square of black on the picture mask then put a new button in the press and release pics in the same area. I then changed the code to add a new button with the hex code being 000000 which should make everything with the colour black when pressed hit the delete button. Instead it did not do anything, it did not even change picture like it should.
Explanation: This is a problem with the colour you have chosen. Your mask background should be black with coloured areas for each of your buttons. If the button you have chosen is coloured black, Jumi assumes it’s part of the background.
Solution: change the colour of the button mask to anything other than black.

I made a simple remote that opens a web browser then you can scroll up and down, refresh page, and get a new tab. I used the colour coding to code where the buttons are and I copied the other programs except put in different commands for the colour masks. I copied the other program exactly but for some reason it does not show I pressed the button, instead every time I touch the iPod screen it opens a new window of Google Chrome and that’s all it does. It only executes the file a bunch of times.
Explanation: This problem has arisen because your XML file contains a <Window> tag. <Window> can only be used when the window title of the program you are controlling remains the same. In Chrome and many other programs, the window title changes depending on the content that is being shown. Jumi will send keyboard shortcuts to the window matching the tag contents, even if it is behind other open windows. If there isn’t a window open matching the contents of the <Window> tag, Jumi will execute whatever you have in the <Run> tag.
Solution: Simply get rid of the <Window> tag and its contents. You won’t be able to control your program when other windows are open, but at least your program will work correctly.

The buttons on my iPod look like they are being pressed, but the shortcuts are not getting to the PC.
Explanation: This might be because you have the wrong colour codes in your XML.
Solution: Double check the colour codes are correct using a program like GIMP, and modify your XML accordingly.
(This happened to me before, the colours on the mask file changed ever so slightly. It happens sometimes, I just have no idea why)
