Hello all, I was recently looking at the code in freevo that handles lirc, to try and find a problem I was having. I use my remote for other things besides freevo and noticed that buttons that have no function assigned to them in freevo cause a repetition of whatever the previous action was. The current code does work, and allows buttons to repeat, however, I don't think repitition is something freevo should be handling as lirc can handle it internally.
For example, in my case I have a command that runs through irexec to change the volume (freevo volume control disabled). So whenever I try to change the volume while freevo is running, it repeats whatever the last action was with the remote in freevo. The current code is assuming that if pylirc.nextcode() returns an empty list, then it means that the previous button was repeated. This is indeed what happens, but I think it could be handled a better way. LIRC supports a repeat parameter in lircrc files that allows a button to repeat. Pylirc seems to support this (I have 0.0.4) and sends the name of the button in the list every time (if repeat=1 in lircrc), instead of just an empty list. As a solution, I changed get_last_code in rc.py to simply return self.nextcode. As long as I set the repeat parameters properly in my lircrc, it works perfectly now. I'm not sure whether any of this is relevant with the changes in freevo 2.0 but I wanted to bring it to attention. Sorry if this has been discussed before, I didn't anything in the archive.
