[mythtv] Plugins receiving keystrokes.

[DrTodd13 at comcast.net]

Hi all,

    I've been doing some development in a mythtv plugin and the whole receiving
of keystrokes/lirc commands thing has me baffled.  For example, I have the latest
Hauppauge remote with the 4 colored buttons at the bottom being mapping to
D, I, M, C respectively in .lircrc.  Moreover, there is another button on the remote
mapped to "M" as well.  I have a REG_KEY statement in my plugin that tries to
map each of these commands.  However, during testing I've found that I cannot
receive the D command but the I, M, and C work using the colored buttons but
the M command doesn't work from the other key (the menu button) mapped to
M.  I can receive left, right, up, down, escape and the individual number buttons
but not much else.  I have enough buttons to work with to establish a mapping
but I'd like the keys to make some sense and so I'd like to use the Play button
but right now I can't receive that within my app.  Any thoughts?

   Also, something else I've noticed is that if I hit alt-tab to go to the command
prompt to see what output my program has generated and then I alt-tab back
into mythtv that the only key that does anything is escape.  I don't think this
problem exists with the builtin parts of mythtv.

thanks,

Todd
