Hi Folks,
So I was testing my remote with the ir-keytable -t command and I've been having a lot of issues with repeat key strokes (its a universal controller programmed as a DVR box). So to test I mapped a key to the "S" letter and went into XBMC to test. I thought XBMC would use the key event but seems like it uses each event on its own:
So as you can see, the CIR saw 6 scancodes immediately but only issues the Key_S down 2 times (I think, i'm pretty sure one is declarative so it decoded the signal is one down, and then the key up). XBMC on the other hand typed the command 6 times....
This is the output of the ir-keytable command:
This is the command in my rc.local:
And my advancedsettings.xml (which I don't think applies to this since its emulating key strokes but felt like worth a shot):
Could you folks help me fix this repeat key bug, its incredibly frustrating!
Thanks!

This is the output of the ir-keytable command:
PHP Code:
Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event3) with:

This is the command in my rc.local:
