Some remote keys need configuring for ALL remotes

[arjay]

Superm1 asked me to log a bug report to the effect that some keys on ALL remotes don't yet work. This would serve, he says, as a reminder that the work needs to be done!

As an example - I use a Hauppauge pvr150 card (not MCE) and the later silver remote with the coloured buttons in a line at the bottom. The main keys associated with running a PVR work fine (those in the centre area - up/down, back/forward, and all those associated with recording, skipping etc).

The ones that don't work are all those at the top such as Guide, TV, Video, Music, Pictures, Radio and Go. Also, none of the coloured buttons at the bottom do anything. You might note that all these buttons work in GBPVR, and Mediaportal - is it possible to copy over something from there?

I'm only a newbie at all this so can't help much further, but will test any simple stuff (like amending the lirc etc) if you want.

I am the maintainer of the Mythbuntu-Lirc-Generator that creates these
functions. I also use the same remote. However due to the nature of the
remote function a universal mapping for ALL buttons on ALL remotes is not
feasible. Although this is the case I am working on a GUI to provide easy
user support to add button mappings to ALL remotes beyond the current
config.

You can use this as a reference

http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/

Programming you own layout is very easy.

Just use irrecord

i.e irrecord -d /dev/lirc0 myremote

Please don't close unfixed bugs.

[Thomas Mashos (tgm4883)]

We really do appreciate you opening this ticket to help improve Mythbuntu, but it needs to be closed for a number of reasons. The biggest one is that upstream has moved on to a new version and believes this to be fixed. Could you please verify if this issue still exists in the latest version?

Please do not let the closing of this ticket dissuade you from opening a new ticket if this (or any other) problem occurs with the newer versions.
