Hi all,

I have a Rasperry Pi 2 installation of Kodi. It's great, except one major issue: Whenever I press a key on the remote, I have to be very careful not too press just the fraction of a second too long, because otherwise, it would send the key-press twice.

Even if I'm very, very careful, this happens far too often. What can I do to make the remote controls less sensitive?

On my Windows installation, the same remote works fine.

Thanks, Anno

Maybe this will help you. There is a "suppress_repeats parameter that you can put in your lircd.conf file. You may find examples in other places. But the below should give you a start on it. See below:

begin remote

name mceusb
bits 16
flags RC6|CONST_LENGTH
eps 30
aeps 100

header 2667 889
one 444 444
zero 444 444
pre_data_bits 21
pre_data 0x37FF0
gap 105000
toggle_bit 22
rc6_mask 0x100000000
min_repeat 4
# uncomment to suppress unwanted repeats
suppress_repeat 4

Thanks!

What I forgot to mention... I'm not using the remote via Infrared. I'm using the remote via HDMI.

On the PC, I have a "USB - CEC Adapter" (https://www.pulse-eight.com/p/104/usb-hdmi-cec-adapter) for that. The Raspberry Pi can do it out of the box.

I even put my Raspberry Pi into a black box, so it wouldn't be confused by the IR signals, but it still behaves the same.

Should I still try your suggestion?

Found a similar issue in another thread and wondered if the answer there might be of use to you

Got to interface/control/peripherals/cec settings and set the delay to 300ms and the repeat rate to 150ms. If that doesn't work, try increasing the numbers.

All I can say is I am using an HP MCE remote and I have no issues. I do have the "suppress_repeat" set to 6. I never get a repeat key.
Good luck. Maybe the other post that black_eagle mentioned might help.

Yes I'm sure that worked for you, but it isn't using the same event mechanism and control, and so isn't applicable

Even though that isn't the answer to the OP; I thank you, because it fixed my problem that brought me to this thread.

Glad I could help. That is all I wanted to do.

Hey, thanks! I set it to 300 / 250 and it seems to fix my problem! Will observe it further.

I have the opposite problem. My Inter key delay is somehow set at a second. The strange thing is that if I leave the remote untouched for a few minutes when I use it again it is fast as usual... Then few moments later it starts lagging again.
I have a Panasonic Viera TV and I'm using the remote through CEC on a raspberry pi 3b+ running the latest osmc build with everything up to date. Changing the settings in kodi (system/settings/input/peripherals) doesn't solve the problem.
I really can't understand why.
Thanks for your help!
