[mythtv-users] Mythfrontend ignoring Shift in key sequence?

[Karl Newman]

Hi,

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)

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!).

Thanks,

Karl
