>I'm trying to get an MCE remote (Ortek VRC-1100) and matching receiver working with my new frontend. One snag I appear to be hitting is that the key editor recognizes the Shift as part of the key sequence (Ctrl+Shift+F >for fast-forward) but the TV Playback seems to drop the Shift, so it sees only Ctrl+F, which maps to "Night Mode" by default. Even if I remove the Ctrl+F binding from Night Mode, the key sequence is still not recognized >for Seek FFWD. Similar for the seek backward (Ctrl+Shift+B is interpreted as Ctrl+B which maps to Jump to Beginning). I suspect this is a bug in the playback key recognition. Is there an "official" way to fix this? (I could >probably just edit the keymapping in MythWeb)<br>
>Also, are these key mappings typical or "standard" for an MCE remote? It would be great if Myth would work with these default mappings out-of-the-box. A lot of the buttons do work, but some important ones don't. >I'm willing to contribute a patch to improve this if someone can point me in the right direction (and if there's any chance that it would be accepted!).<br>

</span>Instead of using lirc, you could use eventlircd, it provides a lirc socket too.<br>
It supports the Ortek VCR-1100 (=Hama MCE as sold in Europe), USBid: 05a4:9881 out of the box.<br>
It uses an intermediate mapping (/etc/eventlircd.d/hama-mce.evmap) to map to your lircrc.<br>
Allows hotplugging using udev.<br>
You can test with irw (myth-frontend should not be running).<br>
<br>
Check which lirc socket mythtv uses (log files):<br>
/usr/sbin/eventlircd -f --socket=/var/run/lirc/lircd<br>

Angela<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Thanks, but I'm trying to keep this install slim, with as little extra software as possible. It recognizes the keys from the remote using the built-in HID/event input kernel driver without using lirc; it's just a matter of getting Myth to either recognize the Shift when in actual usage (this would be preferred but I understand there are some lirc legacy issues with non-case sensitive characters) or getting it to ignore the Shift when assigning the key (this is what I've done for now--modified keygrabber.cpp to strip out/ignore the Shift).<br><br></div><div>Karl<br></div></div></div></div>
