Hiya all ....
I've tried to figure this one out, read all sorts of threads, went to lirc.org but I just can't figure out what is wrong (I am also a real noobie when it comes to Linux).
I have a generic MCE USB receiver and remote that I want to use with XBMC (eBay special). I did alot of reading and was finally ready to take the plunge (install LIRC, use irw, maybe HID etc.). I figured I would plug in the USB receiver, boot up and see what would work right away. Amazing! Every button works properly (Red, Green, Yellow, Up, Down, etc.). I can even shut down with the remote. I was thrilled.
Then I found the hiccup. The volume buttons (Up and Down). If I press a volume button, the voulme bar appears at the top of the screen for a second, but the volume doesn't change. If I hold down the volume Up button, the Volume bar appears at the top of the screen and then disappears after about a second with out any change in the volume. If I press or hold down the vlume Up button again, I don't see the volume bar. I have to press another key before I can press the volume Up key again to see the bar.
At this point, I'm guessing that somwhere I have to set or define the "repeating" code for holding down the key? I tried pressing the Volume Up key multiple times (rather than holding it down) but once again I only see the Volume Bar appear on the screen with the first press and then it disappears after one second.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Greg
