I have a cheap AliExpress Bitfunx produced OSSC, and the scanline/phase/linemult. buttons never worked on the remote. I flashed 1.20 (then 1.21) and the new shadow mask options with intensity are absolutely great – really taking it up a level. I wanted to understand which remote buttons had become shadow mask controls but no one seems to have yet updated the overlay labels. Consulting the OSSC source code we can see the IR codes here. Shadow mask mode +/- is assigned to the >>| and |<< buttons, and shadow mask intensity to the simple +/- buttons. I then noticed that the shadown mask mode buttons work fine on my remote, despite that the scanline buttons still don’t.

Reading up on the L336 remote, it seems clear that the Bitfunx supplied unit has not been programmed to the full OSSC spec shown here.

All the functions with 0x3E prefixes (Yamaha DVD), including shadow mask mode +/-, work fine but the missing functions have the prefixes 0x1C (Toshiba TV) and
0x5E (Yamaha AV receiver). So it looks like Bitfunx programmed it as a DVD remote only. However, I noticed that all the buttons do send codes (presses are confirmed with the OSSC’s green LED). So by following the wiki instructions to re-bind the remote I was able to get all functions working correctly. Hope this helps people.
