<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Martin , thanks for the reply. </div><div><br></div><div>Yes I've applied the kitlaan patches - using a ppa for mythbuntu. These remotes are heavily used by the family and last a few weeks. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Also when they get low on batteries they tend to go a bit crazy ;key keeps repeating, even though the batteries in the remote are removed.</div><div><br></div><div>I've also tried the bluetooth ng on google code. (<a href="https://code.google.com/p/bdremote-ng/" target="_blank">https://code.google.com/p/bdremote-ng/</a>) This has similar problems. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I've got 3xfrontends and 3x PS3 remotes with 3 different bluetooth adaptors. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>

<div class="gmail_extra" style><br></div><div class="gmail_extra" style>I use a 5 minute timeout on mine and just accept that you have to be a bit patient allowing it to come out of sleep mode to the order of a few seconds (and sometimes press the key again). We soon got used to that.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style><br></div><div class="gmail_extra" style>I think your craziness of repeated key presses are brought on by low batteries but not the root problem. I use boith xbmc and mythtv on the same box and switch between the two using irexec applied to the eject key. I have had the craziness you describe but only in mythtv and never in xbmc and this occurs when when the remote is coming out of hibernation if I press the same key twice in fairly quick succession (if the remote is awake then it is never a problem).</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style><br></div><div class="gmail_extra" style>I think you are seeing this when the batteries get low because it has hibernated/lost connection. This ONLY ever happens in mythtv and never in xbmc but I dont really know why this should be any different between the two. I find when it happens my only course of action is to get the keyboard and press esc</div>
