[mythtv-users] Pinnacle PCTV Remote LIRC weirdness

[jack straw]

after much trial and tribulation, i've gotten almost everything "mythtv" 
working- the ONLY thing that is keeping me from disconnecting my monitor and 
keyboard is strange pinnacle remote behavior. i have a PCTV pro that comes 
with the 41 button light grey remote. i installed lirc with the included 
lircd.conf and pinnacle.lircrc files and when i run "irw" the proper labels 
appear when i push all of the buttons. however, the remote doesn't work 
properly in the following situations:

1) in "mythvideo": the volume controls seem to be mapped to the "0" and "9" 
keys, none of the standard movie control keys ("ff", "play", "stop" or 
"rew") work, except for "pause" and, most disturbingly, the only way to get 
out of movie playing mode is to hit the "off" key which causes mythtv to 
lose focus (ie. the bottom toolbar appears on the bottom of the screen 
forcing me to use the mouse to click on mythtv to get the remote to work 
again). now i remember seeing some tweak one could make to redhat to cause 
the toolbar to go away, but i can't seem to find it again and it still 
doesn't fix the weird button mapping problem.

2) in "mythmusic": same issue. the buttons do not appear to be mapped to the 
"buttons" on the screen and further only some of them seem to work. i 
suspect that the problems i am having with both mythvideo and mythmusic are 
related.

i am assuming this is a config issue. has anyone experienced similar 
problems?
