Pressing esc character on IR remote reatcs like esc character pressed two times on the keyboard

[Martin]

Hi @all
TV card is a NOVA-T500 with original IR remote.
If you use mythbrowser .i.e. inside the newsreader or for websites directly and you are pressing the "back" button on the IR remote (ESC character), mythbuntu shows a behavior as if you have pressed the esc button on the keyboard for two times.
The esc character behavior on the keyboard is working well.
I can't find any error message in mythwelcome.log (what I use) or in other log files.
Regards
Martin

The Lirc generator has two entry's enabled for enter, which in turn creates two entry's in the .lirc config.

It then enables on 'enter' as an escape, causing it to escape twice

Please see attached patch, to rectify this fault.

unzip file, patch files in /usr/share/pycentral/mythbuntu-lirc-generator/site-packages/MythbuntuLircGenerator

patch -p0 core.py.patch
patch -p0 mythtvhandler.py.patch

Hi djbmister.

The lines

patch -p0 core.py.patch
patch -p0 mythtvhandler.py.patch

are not working.

I have used

patch -p0 <core.py.patch
patch -p0 <mythtvhandler.py.patch

This is working. After I have appllied the patches, I have regenerated a
.lircrc file with the MCC.

1. The behavior is not changed. From a newsletter website, pressing the ESC
key brings you out from the news center up into the main info center
2. The old lircrc files were included all the files inside .lirc. After the
patch there are only ~/.lirc/mythtv and ~/.lirc/mplayer inside the .lircrc
file.

Have you any further suggestions?

Best regards

Martin

That's actually a bug in MythTV: http://cvs.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/17278

We'll probably fix this in a SRU (stable release update) in a few weeks
or so. In the mean time, you can probably use the weekly builds
repository on www.mythbuntu.org
Keep in mind that the weekly builds are not current. I'll try to get a
new build uploaded today which will have the fix for your problem.

Do all the keys function correctly on the remote?

Obviously my patch doesnt fix your issue. But it does fix the double enter issue.
They are aware of the double escape issue

I selected a windows media center remote in my lircd.conf and tested your patch. Unfortunately, it caused mlg to crash:

supermario@portablemario:~/Software/source/mythbuntu/mythbuntu-lirc-generator$ mythbuntu-lirc-generator
Traceback (most recent call last):

since there have been no updates to that patch or this bug i'm going to close it. if you have updates, please reopen.

I'm using an AverMedia RM-FP remote and was getting the double enter problem, for which is the only post I found that led me in the right direction.

djbmister's patch applied without problems but then I got errors when I tried to run mythbuntu-lirc-generator

I fixed the double enter problem by commenting the following lines out of ~/.lirc/mythtv like this:

<code>
#begin
# remote = lircd.conf
# prog = mythtv
# button = enter
# config = Enter
# repeat = 0
# delay = 0
#end
</code>
