unzip the files on your pc
use hyperterm to upload file 'intercept' to your empeg ("send file" menu-option)
then type the following commands :

# chmod +x intercept

# ./intercept

now try your empeg remote or push the fascia-buttons.
You should see the codes come by in hyperterm

I'm new to Linux as well, but learning fast. I didn't have luck with displaying the IR codes on Hyperterm. I'm sure that it's just a matter of configuring the init properly. I had the init configured for the IR remapping software and adding the additional line to the init to execute the Intercept file made for a very weird boot where I had to type init.empeg in Hyperterm to boot the player.

I'm going to bust out a new player later and do some hacking on that unit. I don't want to change anything on the player with the AUX/Volume disabled.

Maybe Frank can post some Newbie instructions for those of us with just enough Linux knowledge to be dangerous.

# chmod +x intercept

# ./intercept

to end press CTRL-C...
Give command

# ro

You can now reboot the unit

Thank you.

I figured that out now.

Thanks for the instruction on the IR Intercept program.

I found out why I couldn't remap the Volume IR reliably.

If you hold the Volume buttons down, new codes appear as very fast IR pulses. So, we need to remap these pulses as well.

Volume Up code is: 47380
The repeat pulse for Volume Up is -2147436268
Volume Down code is: 47381
The repeat pulse for Volume Down is -2147436267

Check it out.

This seems to solve the above issues with the volume.

Put this into your empeg_ircodes file. Some IR codes are disabled, others are remapped to the CD button. When the CD button is hit during playback, nothing happens except that the little play indicator triangle lights up.
