Lirc works great save for one thing, for me. I bought a serial receiver from the lirc.org recommended german guy and it works great, very good reception from a long ways away. i configured it with the HOWTO, literally copy and paste and load the modules and it worked right away.
I would like to have sticky keys turned on, but I have a problem. I have the ffwd key assigned to Right, and when I hit it, it says Forward, and then in the console I get Prebuffering pause, and the display more or less freezes until I hit the Play button and then it plays just fine. (no xmvc, standard definition programming, nvidia card / driver...) I tried >, and >> and most everything else I could think in lircrc of but the combination of lirc and ffwd and sticky keys and Left and Right just doesn't work like every other button does. irw looks fine, it is getting the right mappings out of /etc/lircd.conf.. If I use the keyboard, and hit the Right key, it goes forward and works great. So, just to get it working, I turned sticky keys off. Now, when I hit the fast forward button, it goes ahead 30 seconds as I would expect. If I hit it again pretty soon (typically there are 3-5 commercials lined up), then it for some reason does a Jump Ahead (10 minutes). The cure for this seems to be to hit the forward button, let it go 30 secs, then wait however long until the OSD goes away, and once I'm sure it's done, then hit forward again, which then goes 30 seconds again. Really not a problem for me, but for everyone else in the family they wind up in unexpected places, it's counterintuitive. The keyboard worked great for everyone, with the keyboard it was Tivo-like sticky keys where it accelerates the more times you hit Forward, you hit Enter and it plays and everyone is happy. Any ideas appreciated. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
