The section of the config file for basic IR configuration is shown here for an HDMI switch with the following control codes:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Function !! IR Code
|-
| Input 1 || 0x17
|-
| Input 2 || 0x12
|-
| Input3 || 0x59
|-
| Input 4 || 0x08
|-
| Quad || 0x18

Substitute the codes for your HDMI switch if they are different.

 Substitute the codes for your HDMI switch if they are different.  In the file that follows, note that IR codes of the form "2nec:0x17" first send the code for the upstream IR switch (in this case nec0x17), and then send the code to the downstream switch (in this case nec:0x12 which is set in the output2ndhdmicode=nec:0x12 parameter).
