RemoteMaster Files

This is RMIR v2.12.0, superseding the last official release which was v2.11 build 6.  As this indicates, the numbering system has been changed.  The build number is now given as the third element of the version number and starts from 0 rather than 1.  The zip package is named RMIR.v2.12.0-bin.zip, starting with RMIR rather than RemoteMaster to reflect not only the change of numbering but also to emphasize that the central application is RMIR and not the one with a shortcut named Remote Master but commonly referred to just as RM.  This shortcut has been renamed RMDU to bring it into line with the other two, named RMIR and RMPB.  Various ReadMe and other documents have been updated, not only to reflect these changes but in other ways also.  The "-bin" at the end of the package name is a result of the build system being changed from Adobe Ant to Adobe Maven, a more modern build system that greatly simplifies the building of new versions.  The Java jar file remains named RemoteMaster.jar as it unifies the three applications into a single program.

Besides these changes there are some new and improved features, there are additions to protocols.ini and various bugs have been fixed.

RMIR v2.12.0 is only available as a full installation package.  It is installed simply by unzipping this package into an empty folder.  Please note that for an installation to work correctly, this folder must not be read-only.  For a Windows OS this means, in particular, that it should not be unzipped into a subfolder of the Program Files folder. If you want to preserve your settings from version 2.11 then, after unzipping the package, copy the RemoteMaster.properties file from the installation folder of that version to that of this new version.  In this case, however, you will need to use the menu item File > Set Directory to change the locations of the RDF, Images and AddOns folders from being in the old installation folder to the new one.

Note that protocols.ini includes no-repeat versions of certain protocols, primarily intended for use by Slingbox files.  Due to the specialized nature of these versions, by default they are not loaded when RM or RMIR is opened.  If you need these protocols, check the item "Show Slingbox protocols" in the Options menu of either RM and RMIR.  These protocols will then be loaded in all subsequent invocations of RM and RMIR until this item is specifically unchecked.
