If you want the Activity to always start on the same channel you can add the Macro (explained below) to the Startup Settings of the Activity. Assuming the box normally starts where you just key in a channel number.

The X1 and X1s do have Macros. To create one press Edit and select the Activity you wish to add one too, press Favorites then Add Macro Keys.

Just thought as you don't mention it, you are using the Remote and not the app? The app does not function the same way.

I have downloaded the AVR-S570BT code base and the volume when pressed and held goes down continually till released on my Denon. From your first post you appear to be programming it correctly “Currently the button mapping has no "long press" action selected”. Also the fact that your issue happens in Devises Mode indicates something else is wrong. Have you tried moving the Hub/Blasters around the room? It could be a line of sight or interference problem.

I could be misunderstanding “Cannot pair the remote with the hub. Pairing with the two upper buttons doesn't work” but you don't pair the remote with the hub using the remote you use the app. If I have misunderstood can you explain what the two upper buttons are not doing. Also this thread is about the words “Hub Lost” appearing on the remote screen, are you getting this?

For info the Long Press “Feature” in Activities allows you to allocate two functions to one button so for example instead of a quick press of Red being Red and a long press being Red Repeated (scroll) a short press will be Red and a long press "Record" (or any other function you like). This can only be done in Activities. In Devises and if not setup in Activities pressing and holding a button repeats (scrolls) its short press function.

There is some confusion going on here. Sofabaton are talking about the “Long Press” FEATURE that IS only available in Activities and allows for one button to have two functions NOT what I think your problem is. Forget the app it does not function the same as the remote (not on my X1 anyway) and does not allow a Press and Hold (I'm calling it this to differentiate it from the Long Press feature) to scroll, the remote DOES have Press and Hold to Scroll I use it on many of my bits of kit. You may only NEED scroll on the Zidoo but if Navigation and Volume scroll is not working at all you may have a dodgy X1s rather than an issue with just the Zidoo.

The Long Press Option is only in Activities so this is not going to be relevant to your issue as you have the problem in Devises Mode. Does navigation scrolling work with other equipment you have connected? Do you have to repeatedly press Volume to get it to go up/down or does this work as it should? Also just to confirm you are using the X1s Remote and not the app?

Does this happen when used in Devises Mode and Activities or just Activities? If just Activities have you set Long Press in Assign Commands for Remote Keys in the app for the navigation buttons?

FWIR the 360 Virgin Remote is Bluetooth to the Box, yes its IR to control the TV but not the box. The Sofabaton uses IR to control the Virgin box so the box does not need to be made discoverable and the X1s wont learn from the Virgin Remote as its Bluetooth (except TV control which you don't need). As I mentioned more than one company makes the 360 for Virgin so the IR codes will vary and you may need to try a few different code sets from the Sofabaton data base.
