Hi Sean! According to the ir-ctl manpage it should be possible to send a file containing multiple scancodes, but when trying to do this I get a warning and an error message. I initially noticed that on version 1.12.3 but 1.12.5 and master (rev 85f8e5a99) give the same error. Sending a file with a single scancode or using the -S option to specify the scancode on the command line both work fine. I've tested with the following file: scancode sony12:0x100015 space 25000 scancode sony12:0x100015 Trying to send it gives this: $ ./utils/ir-ctl/ir-ctl -s ../sony-test.irctl warning: ../sony-test.irctl:2: trailing space ignored /dev/lirc0: failed to send: Invalid argument Checking with the -v option gives some interesting output - it looks like the the second half of the buffer hadn't been filled in: $ ./utils/ir-ctl/ir-ctl -v -s ../sony-test.irctl warning: ../sony-test.irctl:2: trailing space ignored Sending: pulse 2400 space 600 pulse 1200 space 600 pulse 600 space 600 pulse 1200 space 600 pulse 600 space 600 pulse 1200 space 600 pulse 600 space 600 pulse 600 space 600 pulse 600 space 600 pulse 600 space 600 pulse 600 space 600 pulse 600 space 600 pulse 1200 space 600 pulse 0 space 0 pulse 0 space 0 pulse 0 space 0 pulse 0 space 0 pulse 0 space 0 pulse 0 space 0 pulse 0 space 0 pulse 0 space 0 pulse 0 space 0 pulse 0 space 0 pulse 0 space 0 pulse 0 /dev/lirc0: failed to send: Invalid argument The goal I'm trying to achieve is to send a repeated signal with ir-ctl (a user reported his sony receiver needs this to actually power up). Using the -S option multiple times comes rather close, but the 125ms delay between signals is a bit long for the sony protocol - would be nice if that would be adjustable :) so long, Hias
