Hi,

My medion remote had been working correctly with xbmc for a couple of years. I'm not precisley sure when, but somtime in the last few weeks my remote key presses have started to be duplicated. eg when navigating menus, pressing the down arrow once causes it to skip down two places.

I can only assume some update has caused the problem as I haven't altered anything myself. I'm running mythtv on the same machine and the remote operates correctly.

My full debug log is here

Below are a couple of points of interest:

Any ideas what might be causing this? I'm happy to provide any extra info that may help.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

I had some problems after upgrading to 10.10, because now the kernel has some lirc modules preinstalled and so two remotes have been recognized.
So I installed lirc from the repositories and blacklisted the mceusb. Now everything works again.

This problem was not in XBMC but because of the new Ubuntu. Maybe this will help you too.

By the way, what does irw tell you?

Code:

<!-- advancedsettings.xml -->

<advancedsettings>
    <remotedelay>4</remotedelay>
</advancedsettings>

Try this in advancedsettings.xml.

Thanks for the replies!

whoelse, it was doing it before I upgraded to 10.10. I hoped the upgrade may have fixed it. I do recall a kernel update a couple of weeks ago, so that may well be the source of the problem. Interesting that the problem isn't exibhited in Mythtv though?

Would you mind providing a little more detail as to how you fixed yours? Wouldn't lirc be installed from the repos anyway? How did you go about blacklisting? I'm using a medion remote on my machine. Should I blacklist that one or the mce as you say? Thanks

P.Kosunen, I'll give that a try also, thanks.

Cheers,
Phil
