Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems F80 remote with direct track selection

Hi everyone,

First post at this great forum!

Some time ago I took the plunge and got myself a Meridian F80 + I80 dock.
Have to say this baby makes some serious music. Most of the time I stream music or play CD / DVD-A.
With the latter one I miss direct track selection the most as the display doesn´t display tracks beyond No 1.

The MSR+ came in mind but it´s IMHO a bit overkill to the F80 alone.
So when I - by accident - stumbled upon a customizable Android remote control app, I tried my luck.
Unfortunately no Meridian RC´s to download so I had to design it from scratch with the help of the RC5 MSR+ codelist from the magnificent Duncan´s Meridian Info section.

As I wanted to mimic as much as possible an exact copy of the F80 RC, the combined Stop/Mute key gave me a headache; the MSR+ Stop key does only that, as is the Mute key.

Took me a while to figure out that the F80 RC uses an undocumented 15(h) system code so everything works now as should with the benefit of some extra track selection keys, without altering the Setup to MSR+.

The android app is for free (small ad-banner) or you can buy the pro version for just a small amount of cash and is called RCoid.

I´ve emailed RCoid to share the remote and I hope the evaluation goes well so it will become downloadable the easy way.

Beyond a small impression...

Hello Peppermint

Welcome to the forum!

Are you using this on an android phone then? Is it an app you open on a device with that screen graphic below? Presumably your phone has an IR blaster function?

Cheers

Yes and yes; it´s running on an android phone and that phone musthave an IR blaster.

Don´t know how to attach a bigger screenshot.
Could also attach the F80 RC file itself. You only have to put in manually in the RCoid folder and choose it in the menu. When it´s publiced you can download the file from the menu.

Maybe I could also make another remote with more extra keys.
I don´t play much DVD but when I do it´s mostly a music DVD and then it´s handy if you can select an audio track by remote.
Also repeat an repeat a-b are working, even on display...

Just got great news from RCoid!

It´s been accepted and uploaded so it´s direct availabe to all from within the RCoid menu.
Choose ´Download RCoid-file´ option.

Good luck!
