Hello all,

Have set up a remote control on my mythtv box - everything works just 
fine, apart from 2 semi-critical items.

I'm using my DVD player remote to control my mythtv box, and it has 4 
buttons I'd like to use - Skip back, Skip forward, Rewind and Fast 
Forward.  I've mapped those and irxevent captures those fine, but when 
using those buttons in mythtv Live TV, it doesn't actually skip 
forward/back, or rewind/fast forward.  Here's the output from irxevent:

Recieved code: 000040040d00929f 00 SKIP_BACK DVD-RV40
  Sending event:
name: CurrentWindow
keyname: PageUp          WindowID: 0x600010
Key PageUp CurrentWindow
state 0x0, keycode 0x0
Recieved code: 000040040d00525f 00 SKIP_FORWARD DVD-RV40
  Sending event:
name: CurrentWindow
keyname: PageDown        WindowID: 0x600010
Key PageDown CurrentWindow
state 0x0, keycode 0x0
Recieved code: 000040040d00202d 00 REWIND/SLOW_BACK DVD-RV40
  Sending event:

keyname: >       WindowID: 0x600010
Key > CurrentWindow
state 0x0, keycode 0x0
Recieved code: 000040040d00a0ad 00 FAST_FORWARD DVD-RV40
  Sending event:
name: CurrentWindow
keyname: <       WindowID: 0x600010
Key < CurrentWindow
state 0x0, keycode 0x0

Thanks very much for your help

Cheers - Piers
