Hello all,

first of all a big "thank you" to everybody involved in this project.

Installing "freevo" on Debian testing using "dfbmga" on my G400 went quite easy, after I followed the instructions to recompile SDL to include DirectFB support:

I have a remote control from a TwinHan DVB-T card, which registeres itself to the linux input layer, ie. if I press "4" on the remote control it looks like I pressed "4" on the keyboard.

Because there are no cursor keys on this remote control, I added the following lines to my "local_conf.py" to emulate some cursor keys:

KEYMAP[key.K_4] = 'LEFT'
KEYMAP[key.K_6] = 'RIGHT'
KEYMAP[key.K_2] = 'UP'
KEYMAP[key.K_8] = 'DOWN'

Pressing "2" and "8" works flawlessly, both on the remote control and on the keyboard: I can move the selection in the main menu.

But pressing "4" and "6" doesn't give me the desired result in some conditions. For example, if I try to quite "freevo" and the dialog appears which says "Are you sure you want to quit?" then I cannot use "4" and "6" neither on the remote nor on the keyboard to move the selection.

Only pressing the cursor left/right keys on the keyboard moves the selection.

In my desparation, I exchanged the mapping, so that 4/6 are up/down and 2/8 are left/right. I wanted to make sure that there are no conflicts regarding the default keymap. But now I can use 4/6 to move through the selections, but I still cannot move left right using 2/8.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Michael.
