Hey there,

well, I upgraded my sytem a couple of hours ago to have the new XBMC...
It didn't work out that well.

After upgrading a couple of packages including xbmc I get a lot of double-presses in XBMC with my remote.

My setup is:
Ubuntu 10.04.1
Kernel: 2.6.32-26-generic
Remote: Medion X10 MD8800

I get those double-presses not on every stroke but certainly too often to ignore it.
I already tried to set a remotedelay (3,20,2000 ...) and the lircd.conf with an increased gap value. But it really does not seem to change anything. The remotedelay ensures that I have to wait for repeats, but the strange double-presses are still there.

Here is some irw output, if it helps.


If there is more I can provide, please tell me

I hope you can help me

The GAP value requires large increments. How much did you decrease and increase?

Well I increased from 139995 to 239995...
Thought that would be enought. But I'll try even larger numbers if that's an option.

That should be plenty. Sorry it didnt work

I had the same problem.

I fixed it by adding a file to my folder called with the following content:

As i wrote: I already tried it....
But well maybe I misspelled something or so (should be hard with copy and paste but,,,, well I don't know)
I just tried it again and it seems to work now.
Or maybe it was an other update to my kernel or something... Well I hope it is solved

Thanks!

Well it's not gone entirely...
But it seems as if a higher value decreases the chance to get a double-press.
I'll stick with a value of 17 now and think I can go with it just fine.
