Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mythbuntu-lirc-generator
The symptoms of this are that in mythtv (and the other apps as well most
likely) pressing certain keys on the remote cause 2 or more keypresses
to be sent to the application. This is most noticeable on Enter and
Escape, for example.
The keymaps in ~/.lirc/ are autogenerated by mythbuntu-lirc-generator
(or by its cousin mythbuntu-lircrc-generator) and in there are multiple
entries for the same button on the remote.
What is happening, is that this script is parsing
/usr/share/lirc/remotes/imon/lircd.conf.imon-pad and in there are
multiple codes assigned to the same button. There is nothing wrong with
that. There are several variants of this remote which transmit different
codes for various buttons. For example, there are 3 (or more) possible
codes for the Enter key, and one of them will get sent depending on
which remote you have. They all need to be there so all variants of the
remote are covered.
Unfortunately, the mythbuntu-lirc-generator is not clever enough to
handle this situation, and doesn't realise the multiple Enter entries,
for example, are all the same key, and so generates 3 (or more) entries
for Enter, which results in the Enter button sending 3 (or more) Enter
keystrokes to mythtv.
One other minor related buglet:
Towards the end of /usr/share/lirc/remotes/imon/lircd.conf.imon-pad it
comments out some alternate DVD and Menu button entries claiming that
they are key-up codes. This is not true, and those need to be
uncommented. They are keypresses on my remote, which I bought a month or
so ago.
