[mythtv-users] Native lirc, special characters not working

[Vinton Coffman]

I just switched from irxevent to using the native lirc support in 
MythTV.  All buttons worked with irxevent.  Some of the button names 
were different in the new ~/.mythtv/lircrc file but I changed them to 
match the button names from the ~/.lircrc.

The problem is slash, less, and greater don't seem to get passed on 
correctly.  They did work irxevent as favorite, rew scan and fw scan.

Of course I can go back to using irxevent, but if this is a bug ...

Thanks,
Vinton

from ~/.lircrc

# Toggles Full Screen Mode changed f Full to / favorite
begin
prog = irxevent
button = Full
config = Key slash CurrentWindow
end

# Fast forward (default in Myth is 10 minute segment) changed Page_Down 
to > ffw scan
begin
prog = irxevent
button = Skip
config = Key greater CurrentWindow
end

# Rewind (default in Muth is 10 minute segment) changed Page_Up to < 
rew scan
begin
prog = irxevent
button = Replay
config = Key less CurrentWindow
end


from new ~/.mythtv/lircrc


begin
    prog = mythtv
# Toggle PiP on/off
    button = Full
#   config = V
# changed to slash for favorite
    config = slash
end



begin
    prog = mythtv
    button = Replay
# Use for backwards commercial skip
#    config = Q
# changed to less for rewind
     config = less
end

begin
    prog = mythtv
    button = Skip
# Use for forward commercial skip
#    config = Z
# changed to ffw
     config = greater
end
