Hi all,

I'm just getting LIRC and my remote running. I'm using an IRA serial adapter with the IRMAN driver. With one exception, things are working fine.

The odd behavior is that the Pause button (mapped to the "P" key) seems to have to be held down in order to work. I can see, from running irw, that a single key press transmits the code once, as expected. Holding the key down transmits it multiple times, again as expected.

On screen, the Pause/Play overlay "flickers" between "Pause" and "Play" when you hold the key down. Pressing the key once doesn't toggle between Pause/Play. Holding it down a few seconds (and observing in irw that multiple codes are transmitted, and seeing the overlay "flicker") DOES (somewhat) reliably toggle between Pause/Play (there seems to be an acceptable "margin" of error for how long you hold it down -- "a few seconds" works, more or less does not).

So it's not really a functional problem, since I *can* use the feature. It's just "uncomfortable" to the person using the remote.

I have this in my lircd.conf:

begin remote
  name  mythtv
  bits           64
  eps            30
  aeps          100
  one             0     0
  zero            0     0
  gap          294921
  toggle_bit      0
      begin codes
...
          pause                    0xFFFF022820280004
...
      end codes
end remote

And this in my lircrc:

# Pause
begin
        prog = mythtv
        button = pause
        repeat = 10
        config = P
end

I've tried values of 0, 1, 3, and 10 for repeat. The behavior seems to be the same.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
john
