Hi, I have been given a Harmony 520 remote, with no documentation or software. I have downloaded and built concordance and libconcord and they seem like they work...
I can set the time on the remote, dump the firmware and so forth, but
anything else seems to require some mysterious file which I need to get
from some mysterious location.
So I downloaded congruity, thinking that perhaps a GUI might be what I
need to get started, but it seems that it *also* requires one of these
magic files of type EZHex, EZUp or EZTut.
A google search for those really doesn't suggest anything in the way of
sources for them. Is there anywhere I can get these files from? What
are they for? Is there a format specification I can download? Will
they be useful to me if I download some from somewhere, or are they in
some way device specific?
I don't have access to any computers running Windows or MacOS, so I
can't try and run the Windows software. I did try running it under
Wine, but without too much luck, and looking through the directories
concerned I wasn't able to find any of these mysterious files also (or
not so as I could see :-)
As far as I can tell, the remote doesn't do anything useful, other than
run through a tutorial and then go back to sleep. Quite possibly the
previous owner (my father-in-law, now in a 'retirement' hospital) never
did manage to set it up at all.
I see a comment in the FAQ saying that the objective of the concordance
project is not to create these files, and that's fine, but it seems that
there is some value in having something that could perhaps provide them
within an open-source environment.
I can't find anywhere on the Logitech website where I could log in and
register and download these files, so I can only guess that the Windows
software does that. Somehow. Or maybe I'm just blind and/or
ignorant :-)
My own development skills are more around web applications, so perhaps I
can do something in this area? Is there any value / interest / starting
points if I were to try to start on an application for providing these
files?
Thanks,
Andrew McMillan.
