Remote framebuffer protocol question

[gille...@gmail.com]

I have a set top box which runs the RFB protocol version 3.x; I can connect to it, authenticate and send commands;

For example; after authentication on port 5900, when i want to switch to channel 5 (just as example) i would need to send these commands (HEX), which would be converted to binary before i send them.
040100000000e305
040000000000e305

This is a key down and a key up event. Besides digits, the original remote can also send a whole lot of additional codes; https://support.upc.ch/app/faq/a_id/12619/horizon-smart-home-system-einrichten but those are all HEX IR codes.

I can't seem to map the IR codes they mention there to the codes i have available. I am missing the 'conversion' scheme. Basically my question is simple;
How do i send A-Z over RFB? Given the fact that everything in the below list starts with "e" i think this is a specific keylist i would need.

Is there anybody who is willing to help explain it to me or can help out demystifying this?

Each constant below is the last 4 digits of above command:
MENU: 'e00a',
BACK: 'e002',
CURSOR_UP: 'e100',
CURSOR_DOWN: 'e101',
CURSOR_LEFT: 'e102',

CURSOR_ENTER: 'e001',

See the RFB protocol documentation for the keyevent message:

https://github.com/rfbproto/rfbproto/blob/master/rfbproto.rst#keyevent

I am not aware of any "standard" keysyms in the 0xe3xx range.

That is a fast reply Peter :)

I'll see if i can see something when i press a button on the remote while connected to the VNC port Maybe there will also be a keydown and keyup event streamed back over that connection..
