Trying to create .IR file for Wall Clock #862

We have a big West Ocean digital wall clock which hangs up high on the wall in our auditorium. And of course we have lost the remote. I contacted the manufacturer, and got their list of codes. Here is a bit of it:

We use NEC protocol, and Address is 00.
#define RC_ONOFF 0xA25D
#define RC_MUTE 0xE21D
#define RC_BACK 0x629D
#define RC_PLAY 0x9867

So, I thought I'd whip up a .IR file, and load it onto the SD:
Filetype: IR signals file
Version: 1

name: OnOff
type: parsed
protocol: NEC
address: 00 00 00 00
command: A2 5D 00 00

name: Mute
type: parsed
protocol: NEC
address: 00 00 00 00
command: E2 1D 00 00

name: Back
type: parsed
protocol: NEC
address: 00 00 00 00
command: 62 9D 00 00

name: Play
type: parsed
protocol: NEC
address: 00 00 00 00
command: 98 67 00 00

When I pick that remote, the buttons all load. When I press a button, it says "Failed to Load OnOff". I'm drawing a blank on what it is objecting to.

Thoughts?

Dang. Maybe I figured this out. Basic NEC protocol only allows for commands 0 through 255? And the values they gave me suggest they really meant to say NECext? That appears to load and transmit correctly. I'll have to go and check it out with the actual clock. Then I can submit this file.

Try

type: parsed
protocol: NEC
address: 00 00 00 00
command: A2 00 00 00

as well as

type: parsed
protocol: NEC
address: 00 00 00 00
command: 45 00 00 00

I think I will also contact the manufacturer again to seek clarification on NEC versus NECext
