[mythtv-users] Remote - Arrows don't work, num 2, 4, 6, 8 works awesome

[David Cooper]

So close to a functional PVR!!!   Thank you very much to those taking the
time to read. I've been at this for 2 weeks.

 

Problem description:

 

4-way arrows do not work well. Holding key down for 5 seconds, and menu
navigation may move one or two places. If I hold down the #2 or #8,
Numpad_Arrow kicks in (I have not programmed this) and it races around the
menu vertically. Sometimes 4-way arrows do not work at all, kind of
frustrating.

 

Hardware:

 

Haup PVR-250, new Silver/Gray remote

NForce2 ASUS A7N8X Deluxe

 

Software:

 

Gentoo 2005.1 (Kernel 2.6.12r10)

LIRC 0.7.2

MythTV 0.81.1-r2

 

Testing:

 

IRW works fine, and shows no difference between #2/#8 or up/down. IRW does
lock up after ~20 keypresses, I have to restart LIRCD, maybe one clue?

Logs: there are TONNES of these messages filling up the logs:

  Oct  3 21:52:58 alpine lirc_i2c: key (0x00/0x00)

Occasionally (1 per 10 if I hold down a key) I get this message:

  Oct  3 21:40:21 alpine lirc_i2c: read error

Keys do work occasionally, just a lot slower than others

I have tried changing the duplicate Key Bindings in MythWeb for Channel +/-
to a different key, no difference. Coincidentally, 2468 are mapped to
several locations and work the best!

 

Configs:

 

# /etc/lircd.conf

# downloaded from Internet, just changed key names - key names do match to
.lircrc file
