CIR Repeat Keys - How does XBMC get the key presses? - nomi34 - 2014-01-06 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: PHP Code: $ sudo ir-keytable -t 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: PHP Code: Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event3) with: This is the command in my rc.local: PHP Code: ir-keytable -c -w /home/omar/.config/sony --delay 540 --period 1000 And my advancedsettings.xml (which I don't think applies to this since its emulating key strokes but felt like worth a shot): PHP Code: <advancedsettings> Could you folks help me fix this repeat key bug, its incredibly frustrating! Thanks! RE: CIR Repeat Keys - How does XBMC get the key presses? - notho - 2014-03-03 So has anybody found no cure for this? It is unusable on my mint install, I had to go back to windows and event ghost. one key press... PHP Code: Shrew ken # ir-keytable -t RE: CIR Repeat Keys - How does XBMC get the key presses? - nomi34 - 2014-03-03 I did. Installed LIRC and used KT as a bridge. That works wonderfully |
