Hey Guys,

I've just got XBMC up and running and I'm loving it

The only problem I'm having is that my remote (Toshiba, PX1246E-1ETC) is repeating any buttons that I press, i.e pressing down twice instead of once etc.

I've tried updating the advancedsettings.xml file (/home/user/.xbmc/userdata/advancedsettings.xml) with the remoterepeat and remotedelay parameters outlined here but they've had no effect. I also can't find the .lircrc file that I've seen mentioned on other forums and posts with regards to this problem.

Can anyone help??

Thanks a million James, I'll try it out and let you know how it goes!

Ahhh the ol repeating LIRC chestnut!

Well, this is what I did on both 10.10 & 11.04 to get it working correctly.

Sorry for the delay in getting back on this, haven't had a chance to look at it between college and work

Unfortunately I haven't managed to get it working yet, grepping the output of lsmod for mseusb or ir (as suggested in Gryph's link) gives no result. James's suggestion also didn't work, the module mentioned isnt loaded. The full output of lsmod is as follows:

I'm not really sure what I should be looking for but nothing stands out to me. Just incase its needed, here is my /etc/lirc/lircd.conf:

Code:

#Configuration for the ATI/NVidia/X10 RF Remote (userspace) remote:
include "/usr/share/lirc/remotes/atiusb/lircd.conf.atilibusb"

and /etc/lirc/hardware.conf:

Code:

# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
#Chosen Remote Control
REMOTE="ATI/NVidia/X10 RF Remote (userspace)"
REMOTE_MODULES=""
REMOTE_DRIVER="atilibusb"
REMOTE_DEVICE=""
REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="atiusb/lircd.conf.atilibusb"
REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""

#Chosen IR Transmitter

#Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
#START_LIRCMD="false"

#Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES="true"

# Default configuration files for your hardware if any
LIRCMD_CONF=""

#Forcing noninteractive reconfiguration
#If lirc is to be reconfigured by an external application
#that doesn't have a debconf frontend available, the noninteractive
#frontend can be invoked and set to parse REMOTE and TRANSMITTER
#It will then populate all other variables without any user input
#If you would like to configure lirc via standard methods, be sure
#to leave this set to "false"
FORCE_NONINTERACTIVE_RECONFIGURATION="false"
START_LIRCMD=""
REMOTE_SOCKET=""
TRANSMITTER_SOCKET="

"

Has anyone any ideas? Thanks

Ok, I've been playing around and I've found that by editing my /etc/modprobe.d/lirc-blacklist file I can make my remote act differently.

This is what the file looks like before I edit it:

Code:

blacklist lirc_atiusb
blacklist ati_remote

If I remote both entries, only my remotes directional buttons work, but the repeating issue doesnt occur - its the opposite actually I often have to press a key twice for it to register.

If I remove the ati_remote entry I get the exact same results as above.

If I remove the lirc_atiusb entry I'm back to square one (button presses repeat - but all keys work).

Is this of any significance? I'm at a bit of a loss because at one stage the remote seemed to be working properly until I rebooted

Ok, finally managed to get this resolved, just needed to add the following entry into advancedsettings.xml:

Code:

<remotedelay>4</remotedelay>
