Anyone have any feedback on the problem below, of not being able to change
the channel while watching TV on a PVR-250?



After grepping the source (I somehow missed the documentation on the 'h'
help menu), I finally figured out that c and v are supposed to increment
and decrement the TV channel.  But when I start watching a channel from
the program guide, the c and v keys don't do anything.

Then I realized that mplayer is what's actually displaying the video.
After inspecting mplayer's input.conf file, it looks like it uses h and l
to change channels.  But those keys don't work either.  Other keys listed
in that file do work, however.

I'm using a WinTV PVR-250 on Mandrake 9.2, with Freevo 1.4rc4.

Any idea why I can't seem to change the channel while the TV is playing?
Is there some special configuration necessary for the PVR-250?


Are you using a remote control? I added the following to my local_config.py and it lets my menu-up and menu-down keys perform the CH+ and CH- functions:

EVENTS['tv']['UP'] = Event(TV_CHANNEL_UP);
EVENTS['tv']['DOWN'] = Event(TV_CHANNEL_DOWN);

Works great. Otherwise, you need a key that injects CH+ or CH- into the event queue. According to my version of src/event.py, this is mapped to 'c' and 'v', respectively.

Regards,
Chad
