Comment:
Attached patch, mythtv-remove_smart_channel_change_setting.patch , "fixes"
the issue by removing the "Change channels immediately without select"
setting.
IMHO, the "Change channels immediately without select" setting cannot be
justified since a) enabling the setting means that other MythTV
functionality (such as the arbitrary seek functionality) will not work
properly with certain numeric input (any numeric input that matches a
channel number--meaning users will see confusing results) and b) with the
setting disabled, the channel is changed upon the input timeout, which
seems to be about 3s (and is the behavior the reporter desires).
Unless someone provides a reasonable argument for keeping the setting, I
plan to commit this change to trunk in the near future. Note that the
setting is disabled by default, so likely the majority of users have it
disabled and will see no difference in behavior after the setting is
removed.
icj, please disable the "Change channels immediately without select"
setting (in Utilities/Setup|Setup|TV Settings|General , first screen) to
get the behavior you want. Thanks for bringing this old setting to our
attention.
