Request: Conversion of Android IR remote app

Would like thoughts/comments on converting an android app like this GitHub - shannah/DIYRemote: Create your own universal remote control using HTML to work within flipper. All of the current great work surrounding IR remotes seems to be based off of learning from the actual remote. But what if you don’t even have a working remote to learn from? There are many projects available for android and other devices that leverage irdb GitHub - probonopd/irdb: One of the largest crowd-sourced, manufacturer-independent databases of infrared remote control codes on the web, and aspiring to become the most comprehensive and most accurate one to simplify creation of remotes without possessing the original, irscrutinizer GitHub - bengtmartensson/IrScrutinizer: IrScrutinizer is a program for IR signal analysis, decoding, generation and much more. is definitely one of the most complete. I understand that with many of the existing apps you can manually edit the flipper files to create a custom remote, but I’m hoping for something a little less manual, like the DIYRemote project linked above. Are there any guides or tutorials on converting an existing android application to function on a Flipper?

We (the Flipper community)have our own IRDB.

I have seen that, but our list is still missing a lot of older AV equipment, and the list @ GitHub - probonopd/irdb: One of the largest crowd-sourced, manufacturer-independent databases of infrared remote control codes on the web, and aspiring to become the most comprehensive and most accurate one is massive, i have no issue uploading files to our DB as well once verified.

So you are asking for a converter?
Some people done this, see in the folder converted in the Flipper-IRDB. There are Pronto, CSV and IRPlus.

This results in some doubles. The Raw codes are harder to compare.
The work is great, I have used the Flipper at a business Epson projector (with permission of the company), and was very happy to have the converted, because the files are not in the main folder. But the amount of files is not the only goal. They should be also in the same format an/or single

So, everybody could take a look into your shown databases and write a converter to the Flippers .ir format.

TL’DR: In fact, the https://github.com/probonopd/irdb/tree/master/codes is already in https://github.com/Lucaslhm/Flipper-IRDB/tree/main/_Converted_/CSV

I wanted to take a look at the source and remembered the odd filenames like 0,-1.csv

If you’ll go to https://github.com/probonopd/irdb/tree/master/codes/Philips and compare them with https://github.com/Lucaslhm/Flipper-IRDB/tree/main/_Converted_/CSV/P/Philips … looks very familiar, isn’t it?

PS: Maybe the Link needs to be fixed, because the Forum converts underscore (around Converted) to italic.
