Hi Don!

I had the same problem because I use relays to set the zone(s) that the IR
signal is sent to.  So, Mark added an environment variable to not buffer the
IR signals.  Try This:

SET ECS_IR_TX_Q=0

It will disable all IR buffering.


Cheers!

Anyone suggest a way to deal with the apparent buffering of the IR transmit
command? I have an event where I need to mute the receiver to speak a
text-item and then unmute the receiver ie..

Do        IR-Signal-J       Set       4 { Sends a "Mute" Ir command }
Do        Text-Item          Set       Speak { Speak some text here }
Do        IR-Signal-J       Set       4{ Toggles the "Mute" from on to off }

The problem that I run to is the Text Item is spoken then the receiver
mutes, and unmutes.

Is there a way around this?

Don
