Hello
I just installed the latest version of OpenElec (Intel x86_64 Version:3.2.3) on to a USB stick on my HTPC as a test, would like to switch to OpenElec from Ubuntu Minimal.
I have an Origenae M10 HTPC case and it has the SoundGraph iMON VF310 15c2:0036 VFD unit. I am using a HP MCE remote like this one
I am having an issue with the IR MCE remote control and double key presses / repeats. For example:
When pressing the Guide button to bring up the Content Menu in XBMC. The context menu appears and then disappears again.
It did this before when trying to use LIRC and Ubuntu Minimal and is caused by this double key press / sending business. In Ubuntu I unistalled LIRC and used irkeyable and the imon_mce rc_keymap file and the keyboard.xml file instead.
If I putty in to the OpenElec box and press the guide button whilst running IRW, I can see two presses ?
OpenELEC:~ # irw
16d 0 KEY_EPG devinput
16d 0 KEY_EPG_UP devinput
16d 0 KEY_EPG devinput
16d 0 KEY_EPG_UP devinput
It also does the same with the pause button on movie playback, if I press pause, it does a double key send and it must pause and then un-pause and continue playback. So not actually pausing as it should.
OpenELEC:~ # irw
77 0 KEY_PAUSE devinput
77 0 KEY_PAUSE_UP devinput
77 0 KEY_PAUSE devinput
77 0 KEY_PAUSE_UP devinput
If I run irkeytable -t it says: -sh: irkeytable: not found. which presumably means its not installed.
So I presume it is using LIRC ?
Here is what I did in OpenElec / XBMC to get the remote and the LCD screen functioning in the first place:
I installed an imon-mce XBMC add-on and this gave me basic IR remote control i.e. Up/Down/Left/Right/OK was working. Also in the OpenElec settings I turned on LCD/VFD Driver and set it to imon. And then in the actual XBMC settings - System turned on Enable LCD/VFD, which now the LCD screen on the HTPC case appears to be working and tells me what XBMC menu I am currently on etc.
I also started a thread on the OpenElec forum here.
How can I fix the double key presses on the remote control ? This is the biggest issue I have always faced with XBMC..
Many Thanks
